A photograph of a seated figure in a flower-decorated shrine, dressed in orange with a red-and-orange shawl draped across the lap and an orange-clad priest in the foreground. The seated figure has long black hair, a white forehead mark with a red bindi, rudraksha beads and bangles, and sits on a leopard-print cushion over a gold throne. Garlands of white, orange and purple flowers frame the arch, with green leaves above. The priest on the right, with a shaved-looking head, wears orange robes and white body markings, and holds a silver bell in one hand while gesturing with a small silver vessel. A red curtain and an ornate dark panel form the background. The figure is a murti or statue, not a living person, and no identification is made from the figure's face.

A seated man on an ornate gilded throne is showered with pink rose petals from a woven basket held by an arm at the upper left, a ceremonial pushpabhishekam. He wears a rust-red robe, a dark vibhuti mark on the forehead, a heavy gold necklace with a pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a thick garland of pink petals and white jasmine strands draped over his shoulders and lap. Red cushions and a tiger-striped cloth rest beneath him. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a crown-like head decoration of petals, ornate gold jewellery and a saffron-red robe, a bare-chested style with distinctive adornments, and is the central figure receiving the flower offering. Background shows gold relief carving and a partial deity figure at left.

A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits on a gilded throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth, flanked by red cushions. He wears a long red and yellow garland, a heavy gold and beaded necklace, a leopard-patterned chest covering, and gold armlets. He has long dark hair, white and red tilak marks on the forehead, and bare feet resting on small metal stands. He holds a silver trident-like staff in one hand and a folded white cloth or card in the other. A gilded arch with a multicoloured floral garland frames the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with long hair, ornate necklaces, saffron robes and a trident staff on a throne is a presiding teacher; the appearance cues are several and distinctive.

A seated figure in an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, white, and purple flowers, with carved golden lion armrests and a red tiger-striped cushion. The figure sits on a gold pedestal with a red cushion, wearing a peach-coloured silk kurta with gold embroidery and an orange and gold shawl over the shoulder, with long dark hair and a gold-embellished collar; hands are pressed together in anjali mudra with a smiling expression. Floral garlands drape the throne and a pale floor surrounds the platform.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a rust-red turban, a gold ceremonial necklace and a long multicolour flower garland, smiles broadly on an ornate gilded throne with golden lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cushion. Behind the throne is a large arched backdrop of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. A golden trident-like staff rests at the left edge and carved gold temple decoration frames the scene. The figure's long hair and ceremonial adornments are visible, and the figure appears to be a person seated as the honoured speaker at a satsang.
