Indoor satsang scene with a seated guru figure on an ornate golden throne with orange cushions, wearing an orange turban, orange robes, a white jasmine garland and gold armband, with a golden staff beside him. Surrounding devotees sit on the floor in white and orange-red clothing, many with orange-red shawls and marigold garlands; a woman in green and gold sari sits in front, and a child-like figure in white is nearby. Red drapes, gold pillars and a brass oil lamp frame the hall, with flower arrangements at left. The seated figure matches a probable Swamiji by his orange turban, saffron robes, garland and throne, presiding over the gathering as its leader.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala, with long dark hair swept back, in an outdoor temple courtyard. A garlanded deity murti in an orange-draped shrine stands behind him. Around the front of the throne, about a dozen devotees sit on the orange floor cloth: several women in white and orange saris, a woman in a yellow shawl, and white-clad priests, one shaved-headed with a gold necklace. They hold incense sticks and aarti or puja plates with fruit, flowers and oil lamps. Red-and-white striped walls and an ornate gateway frame the scene. The seated man's identity is an appearance-based candidate with several cues, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the figure in orange robe with rudraksha mala and long hair on a throne.

A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion wears a white flower garland and orange cloth, holds a tall golden staff in one hand and raises the other in a gesture of blessing. Around the throne, a seated group of devotees in white kurtas, orange shawls and saris holds small oil lamps and brass plates, while a few sit in front wearing blue and purple clothing. Brass oil lamps and a hanging lamp decorate the scene, and a red flower arrangement lies at the lower left. The seated figure is a candidate for a person by appearance, with long hair, orange cloth and a garland, but the identification is uncertain.

Photograph of a large indoor satsang hall with red drapes and a gold-ornate throne in the foreground. A man seated on the left of the golden throne wears a red-brown turban, a white flower garland and an orange wrap, holding a golden ceremonial staff, and appears to be the central figure. Surrounding him, devotees sit on the floor in white and orange clothing with red-orange shawls; one woman in white holds a brass plate with offerings. Several people in the middle distance wear saffron shawls, and a figure in a red turban and garland sits at the right back near a stage with a laptop and brass lamps. Partially visible heads fill the lower foreground.

Indoor satsang hall with a man seated on a brown leather throne with gold-embossed armrests, wearing a rust-red shawl and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, leaning forward toward seated devotees. Around him, several people sit on the floor on white cloths with gold-bordered white dhotis and saris, and a young woman in an orange top and red shawl sits nearby. A low wooden table and scattered papers lie in front of the group. A red-draped stool, a silver flask, a camera on a tripod and a pedestal fan are visible, with gold-and-red decorations at the left edge.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, and rudraksha malas, seated on a red throne with gold lion-head armrests under a white and red tent. A woman in white with a red-bordered sari kneels before him, touching his hand, while a bare-chested man in orange with a yellow and white bead necklace stands behind. Several women in orange and saffron garments with beaded necklaces, some holding offerings, gather around, and more devotees in white stand in the background. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate based on his long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and garland. The scene resembles a devotional puja or padapuja at a festival setting.
