A seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with a red velvet back, decorated with pink and white flower garlands, in front of green drapes. He wears a long orange-and-gold garland and a gold necklace. Before the throne, a man in white kurta-pyjama dances or bends forward holding a red-rimmed tray, and small brass bowls of flower petals and marigold heaps sit on the floor. To the right, a man in white holds a cane or wand, and another in white stands beside him. The setting appears to be a hall with a patterned red carpet and a small table holding brass vessels.

A seated figure on an ornate carved wooden throne with red velvet backing wears an orange saffron-coloured robe and orange turban, with a white shawl draped over the shoulder, and is adorned with white and yellow flower garlands. A bearded man in white kurta and dhoti stands before him, placing his hands on the seated figure's head in a blessing. Another man in white clothing stands at left. Pink flower petals and offering trays with red flowers and small bowls sit on the floor, along with a brass bowl on a side table, and the throne is decorated with pink and white garlands. The scene resembles a padapuja-style honouring ceremony.2003-07-13A seated man in an orange robe and orange turban sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with a red velvet back, draped in long garlands of yellow marigolds, white flowers and green leaves, with pink and white flower garlands hung across the throne's carved arch. Lion-shaped carvings flank the seat. A man in white clothes with his hands pressed together and a pink flower bunch offers respect at the left, while another person in white stands at the right edge, and a dark green curtain hangs behind. The setting is an indoor hall with a lattice window.2003-07-13December 27 20062006-12-27July 17 20082008-07-17July 13 20032003-07-13A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red upholstered back, wearing long swept-back dark hair, a large white and multicolour flower garland and a green-and-white-beaded garland. He is bare-chested beneath the orange cloth, gesturing with a raised palm while smiling. Before him, a man in white kurta and dhoti kneels with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, several men in white with orange shawls stand near a draped red and gold backdrop, and scattered flower petals cover the floor. The distinctive saffron robe, long hair and adornments match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, and the throne and kneeling devotee suggest a darshan setting.2007-02-24December 27 20062006-12-27A seated long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a floral garland sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, decorated with flower garlands, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to offer something from his hands. A man in white stands at right holding a white bowl, and a cameraman in orange clothing films from behind a tripod. A portrait of a long-haired figure hangs on the back wall, and brass lamps and a kalasha sit on the red-carpeted dais strewn with marigold petals. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a flower garland on an ornate throne. The scene reads as a puja or padapuja offering on a dais.2006-07-11A photograph of a ceremonial stage under a white tent. A man in orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne decorated with garlands of marigolds and red and purple flowers, under a golden canopy. Behind him, a priest in a plain white dhoti and bare chest stands with his hands near the throne, and a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands at right beside a large fire. Another man in a white dhoti sits at left beside a large drum, and a bare-chested priest in white stands near him. Small brass and clay lamps with flames and offerings sit on the green floor at the front, and mats are spread at left. The seated figure's distinctive orange turban, saffron robes and rudraksha malas match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues.2011-07-15A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne draped with red cushions and a garland of yellow, orange and purple flowers. The figure wears an orange robe and a white and orange flower garland, with bare feet resting on a gold footstool strewn with pink petals. A man in white ritual clothes and a red-beaded necklace kneels before him with palms joined, while another man extends a hand toward him. To the right, two women in green and red saris kneel beside a silver plate of yellow flowers and a kalasha-style brass vessel. A low table on the left holds red boxes and fruit.
