A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a tall golden back and a gold trident-topped staff beside it. The seated figure wears a red-orange robe, layered gold necklaces, a long garland of yellow and pink flowers, gold armlets and bangles, and a white-and-red forehead marking, with long swept-back dark hair and a crescent ornament. A kneeling man in a white shirt and a young woman in a red-orange outfit with a white flower in her hair offer pink flower petals and a small brass vessel on a red cushion. The setting is a temple-like hall with a red cloth backdrop.

Photograph of a padapuja on a gilded throne with an ornate golden backrest and a trident on the left. A seated figure with long dark hair, a white forehead marking and red bindi wears a rust-red garment, a rudraksha-style mala, gold necklaces and gold bangles, with a fresh garland of pink, yellow and white flowers draped over the shoulders. A man in a white shirt with a red cloth around his neck kneels and bows, washing or honouring the feet resting on a red cushion scattered with pink and white petals. A young woman in a red dress stands at right with palms pressed together, smiling. Two physical people are visible. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the appearance cues of long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned clothing, while the kneeling man and standing woman are devotees.

Photo from a satsang hall: a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a carved gold backrest against deep red drapes. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a gold headband, a red bindi, and layered gold beaded necklaces, and smiles broadly. A woman in a pink top and white patterned sari leans forward to touch his feet, and an older man in a white shirt and cream trousers with glasses bends forward beside him with his hands near the throne.

A photograph of a seated bearded man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, smiling. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, gold armlets, and a red bindi. A kneeling person in white clothing is in the lower right holding a red object, a standing person in a white dhoti with gold border is at left, and a gilded carved backdrop with a relief of a deity and an animal figure surrounds the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated man on the throne has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with the page's description of the event.

A seated man in a saffron-red robe with a white forehead mark and a white and orange flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and red patterned upholstery. He rests one palm forward in blessing toward a man in white shirt and trousers who kneels with hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, two women in saffron-red sarees with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand on red carpet scattered with petals, and a white pillar and air conditioner are visible. The seated man matches the a person appearance cues of a saffron robe, flower garland and gold-and-rudraksha ornaments, and receiving honour from kneeling devotees on a throne fits his role, so the seated figure is a probable candidate.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, flanked by a golden lion-shaped base and a golden trident. He wears a dark sannyasi-style headpiece, a red-brown robe, a long garland of red, yellow and pink flowers, gold necklaces and gold bangles, and smiles while extending one hand. A robed attendant in orange with rudraksha malas sits at left, and two devotees in white and red kneel or bow before him at right, consistent with a pratyaksha padapuja. Probable Swamiji's appearance cues include the swept-back dark hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned robe.
