A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap, with a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. In front of the throne, several devotees in white dhotis with yellow shawls kneel with hands joined, and a woman in a cream sari with a green border kneels at the lower left. Silver trays holding flowers and oil lamps rest on the golden dais before the throne. Behind, a deity murti is adorned with garlands, and brass lamps stand in the background near a red curtain and carved stone pillars.

Two devotees in white with yellow shawls face him from the foreground, one holding a lit oil lamp aloft and the other holding a lamp toward the throne. Gold-framed ornaments and a deity murti with garlands stand behind the throne. Gold offerings and flowers rest on a gold pedestal before him, consistent with a pada puja.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded in his lap, a red tilak on his forehead.

Carved stone pillars and a red-painted grille frame the background. The man in the centre has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, distinctive appearance cues consistent with a Swamiji (probable) candidate seated in a ceremonial role.

A photograph of a ritual puja at an ornate temple-style stage. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold bracelet, sits cross-legged with hands folded on a large gold throne with red cushions. A probable Swamiji appearance cue is the long swept-back hair with orange-saffron robe and rudraksha mala. Six people in white and cream ritual dress sit on the floor before him: two men in white dhotis, a woman in a white sari, a woman in a cream sari, a boy in white, and a man in white with hands joined in prayer. One priest in a white dhoti holds a flower or offering. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, a vase of orange and yellow flowers sits on a low table, and a large painted backdrop of deity figures in red and pink surrounds the scene.

A seated man in an orange robe and a white flower garland sits eyes-closed on an ornate gold-and-red throne in an open pavilion with carved grey stone pillars and an orange wall. Before him, devotees in white and yellow sit on the ground, with a plate of offerings and fruit on the wooden side table. A bald man in yellow and white and a woman with a ponytail in a cream sari sit in the foreground. The man on the throne matches the page's a person context and carries distinctive saffron robe and garland cues, so he is a probable candidate rather than a confirmed identity. Other visible people include older women in white and younger women in yellow.
