A photograph on a polished red-brown marble floor at a temple veranda with white pillars and greenery. A long-haired man in orange robes and a multi-strand gold-and-bead necklace sits on a red-cushioned throne-like chair, and a man in white kneels before him, appearing to attend his feet. A woman in a white sari with gold border kneels on the floor in front of the chair with her hands raised toward him. Around them, devotees stand in white kurtas, cream saris with gold borders, and a teal shirt; some men sit on the floor in light clothing. One seated man in blue and white looks on closely. The scene suggests a seated darshan or devotional reception.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rust-red turban sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gilded panels, wearing a white flower garland. He bends forward to accept a small orange fruit or ball from a young boy in a black T-shirt who kneels on the floor. A woman in white with a gold-bordered sari stands bending over to offer it, while a shaved-headed man in saffron kneels nearby with hands joined in prayer. Behind them, devotees in white and salwar-style outfits stand with palms pressed together against a red curtain and gold pillars.

A photograph inside a covered hall with a green carpet and a red-edged mat, showing a man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a dark rudraksha mala standing and holding his hands together while a woman in an orange sleeveless top with a white flower garland kneels with her back to the camera. Behind them a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands, and another man in white smiles. Seated devotees in white fill the background, and to the right stands a tall display of white jasmine garlands and pink roses. Blurred printed banners hang on the rear wall.

A photograph at an evening event under a tent with purple and pink hanging decorations. A seated figure in a white turban, white dhoti and gold-bordered cream shawl wears a long gold necklace and holds a rudraksha mala in both hands, smiling. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, turban, ornate gold garments and rudraksha malas are visible cues, the page indicates Swamiji attended, and he is seated on a white-draped chair. Beside him, a smiling man in a white shirt wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and leans in toward him. Behind them, several men in white shirts and dhotis stand, and a cameraperson with a camera is visible at left.

Photograph of an indoor event where a figure in a white turban and white robe with a gold border sits on a red-carpeted platform, wearing a heavy gold necklace and a long dark braid. He holds a metal bowl and hands over a garland of white flowers with red and green accents, with fruit beside it. Several men in white shirts and pale checked or striped shirts stand and bend forward around him, and a woman in a green sari and glasses sits in front, hands pressed together in greeting. Behind them stand a colourful painted pillar and a crowd of onlookers. The turban, long hair and gold necklace are the cues for a person, shown in person receiving the garland at the event.
