A person in a red-orange turban and bare-chested orange garment sits with eyes closed on an ornate gold repoussé throne with scrolling floral carving. A second person in a red sleeveless top and red garment kneels with their back to the camera and touches the seated figure's shoulder or neck. Red and purple flowers sit at the left edge, and a gold-rimmed tray and ritual brass stands appear in the background. The seated figure wears beaded rudraksha-style necklaces. The scene looks like a seated blessing or puja-style honouring at a temple setting.

A photograph on a stage in front of an ornate gold throne with carved floral relief. A standing man in a bright orange robe and a light shawl with red stripes bends forward and rests his right hand on the head of a seated person. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban, a garland of pink and white flowers, a brown-and-gold garment and multiple bangles, and sits on a maroon cushion with bare feet. A microphone stand stands in front and green foliage is at the lower left. A purple backdrop sits behind. The bowing man has white hair and a white beard and wears glasses; the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only. Two physical people are visible.

A seated man in a red turban and red-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests, a microphone on a stand before him, and a gold-and-bead necklace with a large pendant. He rests his right hand on the head of a woman in a white top and brown shawl who kneels with her palms joined, a pink flower in her hair. Behind them stand silver and gold ceremonial figures and a deity murti in pink, with flower arrangements and brass lamps at the edges. Appearance-based cues of long hair, turban, saffron-red clothing and a ceremonial necklace match the seated figure, so this is a probable Swamiji seated in a blessing, with a devotee receiving his touch.
