A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange shawl and a dark rudraksha mala, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat. Before him, a semicircle of devotees sits on the floor: a bald man in white shirt and a woman in yellow and green saris hold small flames or oil lamps, and several women in saris with braided hair and gold jewellery sit with their hands raised toward the lamps. Fruit trays with apples, bananas and sweets rest on gold-trimmed side tables beside the throne. Behind them, a blue curtain hangs at a window and a white tower fan stands on the floor.

In front of the throne, a low table holds plates of fruit, apples, and small offerings. Around him, several devotees sit on the floor with palms joined or holding lamps: a bald man in white, a woman in a yellow sari, a woman in a white sari, a woman in a red floral blouse, and a woman in a green top at the left edge. Brass plates with flowers and lit oil lamps sit before them. A window and a blue curtain frame the plain room.2010-09-12A photograph of a seated figure in an orange sannyasi robe with a rudraksha mala, eyes closed, on an ornate gold throne with red cushions.

A man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap, a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with red cushions, speaking to the audience; this is a probable Swamiji depiction in person, based on the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. Several devotees sit on the floor facing him. A man in white and women in saris and yellow-green dress hold lit oil lamps and brass offering plates near the throne, a lamp-offering ritual. A small gold-edged side table holds fruit and a water bottle.2011-01-23September 12 20102010-09-12A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing saffron-orange robes and a dark rudraksha mala, sits eyes closed on an ornate gold-and-red throne in a plain room. Before him, a group of about a dozen devotees sit on the floor: several women in yellow, cream and floral saris, a bald man in white, and a woman in a yellow top with hands joined in namaste. Fruit and offerings sit on a gold side table near the throne. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads is a probable match to a person, but identity remains uncertain.

One woman holds a lit oil lamp aarti towards the seated figure while others fold their hands in prayer. Two people sit in the foreground with their backs to the camera, one in an orange robe. A wall in a plain room with a window and blue curtain forms the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a saffron robe, a rudraksha-style gold necklace and a throne, and is presumably honoured in a pada puja setting.2010-12-27A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long, swept-back hairstyle, a gold headband, and a multi-strand gold necklace, sitting on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, purple, red and white flowers.
