A photograph of a seated figure on a gold-trimmed throne in front of ornate golden and silver deity murti and tall brass lamps. The seated man wears a red-orange turban, orange and red robes, and a long rudraksha mala with ceremonial beads, and he extends his right arm toward a woman. She wears a white top with a red-and-gold shawl and glasses, and holds her hands in front of her as if receiving something. A man in a white kurta with a red shawl and rudraksha mala stands behind the throne. A microphone stand sits in the foreground. a person is seated on the throne with a turban and rudraksha mala, but the figure's face is not clearly visible enough to confirm.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a swept-back hairstyle, a tilak on his forehead, a gold-and-beaded necklace, and rudraksha-style beads, sitting on an ornate gold throne. He smiles while holding the hand of an older woman in a white sari who kneels before him and holds a red cloth. Silver trident staffs and a floral garland stand near the throne, and a bald man in orange stands behind. The background is draped in red and orange fabric. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has several qualifying cues (swept-back hair, saffron robes, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha beads) and sits on a throne, so the appearance-based label applies.

Photograph of a stage ceremony at a festival programme with a seated figure in orange robes and a garland of white flowers and multicoloured beads, seated on an ornate golden throne with a red backrest and a microphone in front. A shaved-headed man in white kneels on the floor holding papers, and a man with a white shirt and orange shawl stands beside a microphone reading from sheets. Another man in orange shawl stands behind the throne, and a woman in an orange top sits in a wheelchair with palms pressed together in greeting. A woman in a white and blue sari stands at the right edge holding the wheelchair. Flower petals scatter the red-carpeted floor, and blue and pink drapes hang behind the stage.

A seated figure in an orange and green peacock-feather shawl with a pink flower garland extends a hand in blessing over the head of a woman in a wheelchair wearing an orange shawl and a white blouse. Behind them stands a golden trident-topped ornament and gilded lion-form seat carvings. Two orange-scarved attendants stand in the background of a hall with a blue mat and a framed plaque on the wall. The image is a photograph of a blessing moment during a satsang-style gathering, with a seated blessing figure appearing as a person by ornate peacock shawl and garland cues, though the face is not clearly visible.

A photograph inside a decorated tent-like hall with a red and maroon backdrop and gold-framed deity shrines along the top. On the left, a smiling person in an orange-red turban, an orange-saffron dhoti and a long gold-bead mala sits on a brown leather throne-style chair beside a gold lion figure. Beside him stands a man in a red shawl holding a small metal object. On the right, a woman in an orange-red shawl with printed script sits on a red cushion across from him, and gold-edged low tables are set along the stage. Several seated devotees in white and orange are visible in the background near shrines and silver trays.
