A photograph inside an orange-draped tent at a festival setting. In the centre, a man in a long saffron-orange robe with a matching orange shawl stands beside an ornate gold-framed throne with a red velvet seat. Behind him, a bald man in orange robes wears a long beaded necklace and stands with hands folded. At right, a bare-chested man in an orange cloth wrap stands near a robed attendant.

A photograph of a coronation-style ceremony on a gilded throne in front of a large painted deity figure with a moustache and multiple arms holding objects. A seated person with long matted-looking hair, bare-chested with a white forehead marking, wears layered gold and bead necklaces, rudraksha malas and a gold crown, and is garlanded with white flowers and a red-and-green garland. A standing man in a long swept orange-saffron wrap with long curly hair and bangles places a garland on the seated figure's head. Two other men in saffron wraps stand at right, one holding a silver tray with rose petals and offerings. A woman in red and orange clothing and a garland stands at the left edge. Gold ornate chairs and a red cushioned seat frame the scene.

A stage at a satsang with dark red velvet curtains behind. A central figure sits on an ornate gold throne with lion armrests, wearing saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, with a long swept-back hair; this appearance is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a seated teaching role. To his left, an elderly man in red-orange shawl and dhoti bows low on a gold chair beside a small gold stool. To the right, a seated man in pink-orange robes sits in a white armchair, and standing assistants in saffron robes and bare shaved heads attend the stage. A tiger-striped cloth covers the throne platform, and a patterned rug lies on the floor.

A man stands barefoot on a red and gold stepped dais before an ornate gilded throne with a red tiger-striped cushion, beneath a canopy of green leaves and a golden umbrella. He wears an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi, an orange shawl and dhoti with gold borders, and a multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads. He raises both hands in blessing and smiles. Golden lion figures flank the throne. Behind him to the right, a man in white with a shaved head and orange cloth stands. Visible identifying cues include the saffron turban, ornate ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, with the rest of the scene consistent with a seated-dais ceremony.

A bearded man in a rust-brown turban and rust-brown draped robe stands on a stage with palms pressed together in greeting, smiling with eyes closed. He wears heavy gold necklaces, gold bangles and a jewelled ornament at the chest. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with a cobra hood and red cushions, flanked by a large dark deity murti decorated with a flower garland in red, yellow and white, and a starry blue backdrop. To the right, a second man in saffron-orange robes stands with his hands at his waist. a person: the central man wears a turban, rudraksha-style ceremonial jewellery and gold necklaces in front of a throne, consistent with a page noting a person's presence.

The man on the right wears a brown-saffron robe, a brown turban with a gold ornament, a gold necklace and a long rudraksha mala, and smiles while resting an arm on the throne. Between them a younger monk in brown sits with a rudraksha mala. Gold lion and elephant figures flank the thrones, and water bottles sit on the stage edge.
