A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala on a gold-carved, red-cushioned throne-style seat at the top left, looking to the side with hands resting in his lap. Before him on the floor, a group of devotees sits in a semicircle: a woman in orange with long dark hair holds a lit oil lamp, a man in a white dhoti and shirt holds a flaming lamp, a shaven-headed man in white with a gold necklace holds a plate, and others in yellow, green and white saris sit with folded hands. Gold brass plates and lamps are arranged on the floor, and a tray with apples sits on the left. Pink walls, a window and two portable heaters are in the background.

A photograph of a satsang at a hall with a maroon curtain and pale pink wall. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron garment and a dark red cushion, sits on an ornate gold throne-style seat with a gold-and-purple garland draped over the backrest and a gold canopy behind him; he is the presumed Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and throne-seat placement. In front, a woman in red top and white sari with curly hair sits facing him, and a woman in a pink sari sits near the foreground. Devotees on the left in white and colourful clothes hold small brass lamps and offering plates, with a woman in a green top and a woman with a shaved head among them. A woman with a long braid and a woman with dark hair pulled back sit at the bottom edge. Fruit and brass vessels sit on a gold tray near the seat.

A seated man in long swept-back dark hair, an orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne, with a gold-tiered side table holding flowers and a small lamp in front of him. A group of about ten devotees sits on a red-patterned floor mat around a silver tray of offerings, several holding lit oil lamps or flower garlands. Most women wear white saris with yellow or orange borders and orange shawls, while a few men are bald and wear white dhotis. A white ceiling fan, a curtain and a window are behind them, and a bright orange cloth drapes a stool in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure on the throne based on his long hair, orange robe and mala.

A photograph of a seated man on a gilded throne with a red cushion, wearing orange robes and a long rudraksha mala, with a ceremonial gold necklace, receiving devotees in an orange-walled hall. Seated in front of him on the floor are several devotees: a bald man with white-and-orange sacred markings and white dhoti, a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a gold necklace, a woman in an orange shawl, and women in white and yellow saris. Before them a low gold table holds silver plates with pink lotus flowers and ritual trays. Behind them stand a few people in white. A dark placard with white lettering hangs on the wall. Several seats and gold chairs fill the room.

A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in a plain hall. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, rudraksha malas and ornate gold-trimmed clothing, sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions, probable Swamiji, and is seated at the right of the frame. Several devotees sit before him, holding small silver oil lamps lit with flames, performing aarti. A woman in a white sari with pink border folds her hands, a woman in white with a gold-patterned top holds a lamp, and a woman in a yellow outfit sits at lower left. A small table with a mala and offerings sits beside the throne, and a microphone stands at the back. Other people in white and saffron sit nearby.

A seated man in an orange saffron garment and dark rudraksha mala beads sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at the right, with a gold-framed carved chair back. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair and saffron robes match the page's identification, but the face is not used for identity. Around him, devotees sit on the floor in white and yellow garments, several with palms pressed together in namaste or holding lit oil lamps. A woman in white with gold trim holds a lamp, and a woman in red with a patterned shawl stands at right. A small brass oil lamp burns on a stand in the foreground beside an offering tray with fruit and flowers on the floor. A microphone stand and a man in orange sit in the background against a plain pale wall.
