Indoor photograph in a room with white walls and an air conditioner. A seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless vest over white kurta and dhoti, with an orange shawl, gestures while speaking. He sits opposite a figure on an ornate gilded throne with a cobra-hood canopy and golden lion-head armrests, draped in a leopard-print cushion. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe and long dark hair, with a hand resting on the armrest, a probable Swamiji (probable) on the throne. Behind them stand a man in orange robes with gold beaded mala, and a seated man in white with a mala. Framed paintings of deities hang on the wall, and a gold kalasha and fruit sit in the foreground.

A man in a saffron-orange robe with a long mala necklace sits on a leopard-print cushion, his hand extended toward a small golden object on a tray. Several men surround him: on the left, a man in white shirt and trousers with an orange shawl presses his palms together in greeting; another in white shirt and dark trousers holds papers; a man in an orange-saffron dhoti stands behind; a bald man in white crouches at the lower right; and a man in a white shirt stands at the right edge. A framed painting with a deity in an ornate frame hangs behind the throne.2016-05-04A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in a dark-walled room. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha and pearl malas, a white forehead mark and pearl bracelets sits on an ornate gold throne with a lion-carved base and a white-and-black striped cloth on the seat, his bare feet resting on a silver tray of flower petals and offerings. Seated to his right, a man in white dhoti and shawl with glasses and an orange lanyard keeps his hands folded. Two more attendants kneel at the foot of the throne: a figure in pink with a white forehead mark and a man in white with a white tilak and orange lanyard, tending brass and silver bowls, fruit, flowers and coconut. A brass oil lamp and bell hang nearby, and a studio light and draped curtain are visible at the right. The orange-robed figure is a probable Swamiji candidate by the cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha and pearl malas, and pearl adornments, shown seated on the throne and receiving the puja.2013-03-16A seated man in white kurta with an orange shawl and maroon vest sits on a wooden bench, facing a robed figure on a golden throne with leopard-print cushions. The throned figure wears orange-saffron robes, a long rudraksha-style mala and a sacred mark, and smiles with hands folded. Behind them, priests stand in white dhotis with gold necklaces and orange garments, one holding a tray of lit oil lamps. A gilded deity mural and a golden lion-form armrest appear in the room, with a golden kalasha-like vessel and fruit on a tray in the foreground. The scene looks like a formal visit or darshan.
