A photograph of a satsang setting where a man with long dark hair, wearing a red shawl over a red garment, rudraksha malas and gold bangles, stands at the centre holding a silver tray of offerings and looking down. A man in an orange robe holds the tray at the right edge. Around them a group of devotees in white, light blue, pink and dark clothing stand close, some with hands folded in namaste. Colourful drapes and a hanging banner fill the background. The centre figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, identified by long swept-back hair, red ceremonial clothing, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, but the image is not certain enough to confirm identity.

A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a patterned curtain and colourful drapes behind. In the centre, a long-haired man in a red shawl over bare shoulders, with rudraksha malas and gold bangles, leans forward to take a small white folded paper from a line of devotees. A bald man in an orange robe on the right holds a silver plate with offerings. Around them, a crowd of men in white shirts, pink and light blue shirts, and white dhotis stand close together, several with hands pressed in namaste or reaching forward. The mood is devotional and orderly.2011-02-16A photograph of a satsang gathering where a man in a red shawl over bare shoulders, with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and a red-banded arm ornament, extends his right hand in blessing toward a devotee in a white shirt, while handing him a folded paper. Around them stand several men in shirts and white dhotis, and a silver tray of offerings rests in the lower right. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with draped cloth in the background. Based on the long swept-back hair, the distinctive red shawl and rudraksha malas, this is a Swamiji (probable) in a blessing role with a devotee receiving his blessing.2011-02-16A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and rudraksha malas receiving a folded paper from an older man in a white shirt at an indoor gathering. The man in red has a red tilak on his forehead, a white pearl necklace with a gold pendant, and rudraksha bead armbands.

Behind him stands a man in white with glasses, and at right a man in orange robes holds a small silver tray. Several other men in white shirts stand nearby, one holding a red book.

Behind them, shaven-headed men in white and an orange-robed monk stand near a silver tray at the bottom edge. The man in red has long swept-back hair and a crown-free but ornate, distinctive presentation with multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role of receiving a petition.
