A photograph of a ceremonial scene at an outdoor temple-style pavilion. A man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe with a long gold necklace sits on an ornate golden throne-like seat, smiling, while extending his hand. A man in a white kurta kneels before him with a red shawl draped over his shoulders, bowing with hands together and receiving the seated figure's touch. A woman kneeling at left wears an orange garment with a gold border. At right, a woman in a cream sari with gold border and red bindi stands with hands folded, wearing a red and white beaded necklace. Behind them are silver deity murtis adorned with garlands on a red-draped platform, flanked by brass lamps and silver umbrellas with colourful tassels. A golden footstool sits in front of the throne on a patterned carpet.

A photograph of a seated figure on a gold-and-leather throne with lion-head armrests, in front of a silver-ornamented shrine with a deity murti and pink-clad figure behind. The seated person wears a red turban, a red and gold garment, a brown beaded rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, and holds a small glass or crystal object aloft while speaking into a microphone. Two people in white kneel before the throne in obeisance; one wears a red shawl, the other is bent low with head near the throne. A standing attendant in red stands at the back-left. Probable Swamiji cues: red turban, rudraksha mala and gold pendant on the throned figure, with the throne and devotees kneeling to him.

A photograph of a seated person in saffron-orange turban with a jeweled ornament and multi-strand rudraksha-style beaded necklace, wearing an orange and yellow garment, sitting on a gilded golden throne with lit lamps behind. Facing them, a young man in white clothes and an orange shawl kneels with palms pressed together in anjali while touching the seated person's feet, in a red-curtained room. The seated figure has long swept-back styling consistent with the Swamiji description, with turban, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold necklace as visible cues, supporting an appearance-based probable identification as Swamiji (probable) receiving padapuja-style devotion as the seated figure. The devotee is shown in darshan-like respect.

A kneeling man in a white dhoti with a saffron border and white ash marks on his arms bends forward and rests his head near the seated man's shoulder, touching his arm. A red velvet curtain, a silver staff and a cooler stand are behind them, and a microphone is in front. Two people are visible.

Long dark hair is swept back and he wears bangles on his wrist. A man in a white shirt and cream trousers kneels barefoot on a red and patterned rug in front of him, bowing his head toward the chair. Behind them a woman in a rust-orange sari with gold border and a rudraksha necklace stands with her hands together near a microphone stand and water bottle. A large gilded ornate backdrop with a golden arch and red velvet curtains fills the background, and a potted plant sits at the left edge.

A seated man in an ornate red velvet throne with tiger-striped cushions sits before a cosmic backdrop of orange and purple space imagery. He wears saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a gold necklace, layered rudraksha-style beaded malas, bangles and a red tilak on his forehead. A devotee in a saffron shawl kneels at his feet, hands folded in prayer, while a second seated man in blue jeans and a white shirt also bows. Before the throne is a silver tray with offerings and flowers, gold oil lamps flank the throne, and vases of flowers sit at the sides. a person is the seated figure, based on the saffron clothing, bead malas, gold necklace and throne presentation.

A seated man in a red and black tiger-striped cloth, with bare upper torso, gold armlets, bangles and a long gold-beaded necklace, sits on a gold throne with a white tilak on his forehead and a red dot at its centre. He smiles while extending his hand to a kneeling elderly man in white clothes with an orange shawl over his shoulders, who presses his palms together and bows his head, holding a small bunch of flowers. Behind them hangs a tall garland of pink roses on a metal stand, and a woman in white stands at right. The seated man is a person by appearance cues (long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, saffron-red clothing, throne), but the identification is not fully certain.
