A photograph from a stage event with a golden ornate throne set against a backdrop of decorated deity murtis and gold-framed arches. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant sits cross-legged on a brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests, gesturing with one raised hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold pendant, with a red shawl draped over the body). Before him a man in a white shirt and white trousers, with a red shawl over his shoulders, bends forward to greet him, and a woman in a red sari with a red-and-orange shawl and bindi stands to the left smiling. A man in a red shirt stands behind them. Flowers in pink and white sit at the right edge.

A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja at a festival stage. A figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a staff, surrounded by marigold garlands. Two devotees bow at his feet: one in a checked shirt and grey trousers, another in a green sari. A man in white kurta and a sannyasi in orange stand to the left with hands folded, a woman in a red and grey sari with folded hands stands at right, and a gilded lion figure sits beside the throne. Behind is a large banner with a smiling portrait and a painted goddess figure. The appearance-based label is a person, seated in the centre. The scene shows Navaratri-day worship with garlands and devotees bowing.

Indoor hall with red carpet and red velvet curtains. A seated woman with dark hair in a bun, wearing an orange-red sari with gold border and a yellow-gold garland, sits on a red tiger-striped throne beside a large gold carved backrest. Standing before her, a woman in orange sari with rudraksha mala speaks with hands together. An older man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward with folded hands, facing the seated woman. Another woman in yellow sari with a mala stands to the right. Behind them, several people in white and orange stand in the hall, and a saffron-robed figure stands at the far right. A small gold-coloured kalasha sits on the throne's base. No clear appearance cue establishes the seated figure as a person.

A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-velvet throne, wearing saffron-orange robes with yellow borders, a long orange-beaded rudraksha mala around the neck, a red bindi on the forehead and long swept-back dark hair, smiles warmly toward a man in a white kurta with a red-and-white thread bracelet and grey hair, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste and holds a folded paper. Behind the throne hang deep red velvet curtains. At right, a woman in an orange sari with yellow border and a long bead necklace stands watching, and a shaven-headed man in a white dhoti with a sacred thread sits on the floor. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable in-person appearance.

A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold and red throne decorated with red, yellow and green flower garlands, holding a small silver plate or bowl in his hands. A bald man in orange robes and a saffron shawl sits beside him, and a woman in a white top and dark patterned skirt stands before the throne with her palms pressed together in a greeting. A bald man kneels in orange at the lower right, while people in white stand in the background beside a painted wall of a multi-armed deity holding weapons. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji, seated on the throne with long dark hair and a saffron robe; the throne, garlands and reception suggest a satsang or darshan setting.
