A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, eyes closed and hands folded in his lap, wearing a long beaded gold necklace. Behind him, a red and white striped wall hangs with orange drapery. Three people sit on the floor at right: a woman in orange shawl, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti and gold necklace with a vibhuti-marked forehead holding a small metal bowl, and another woman in orange shawl holding a bowl. Their posture suggests a ritual or satsang setting.

A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in a temple courtyard with red and white striped walls. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing saffron-orange clothing and a dark rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with eyes closed and hands folded. Around him, a group of devotees sit or kneel with hands in anjali: a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and bare chest, a man in orange cloth, and several women in saris seated in front with their backs to the camera. Brass plates in front of them hold fruit, pink lotus flowers and offerings. Dhoti-clad and robed devotees sit in front of a darshan-style setting, with a gold-trimmed container beside the throne. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for Swamiji, with his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala on a throne, and the page indicates his presence.

A photograph of a padapuja ceremony on a covered veranda with red and white striped walls and a banana plant. A man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair sits with palms pressed together on an ornate gold-and-red throne, and a probable Swamiji candidate is identified by these cues. Around him devotees in white and yellow clothes sit on the floor before silver plates of flowers, fruit and offerings. A woman in a yellow shawl holds a brass vessel and bead strand, and several others in white hold garlands and rosaries.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala sits in a gilded, ornately carved throne with red cushions, hands folded in his lap, at a satsang hall. Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron robe, appears to be giving a discourse. Around him, devotees in white dhoti and yellow or red saris sit with palms pressed together in namaskar on the floor. A white-robed man with a shaved head and white tilak stripes on the arms and face kneels with folded hands in front of brass plates holding apples and flowers. A monk in orange with a microphone sits at left. A white fan and a tray with apples and flowers sit beside the throne, and a blank projector screen hangs in the background. Several people in the foreground are seen from behind.

A photograph of a pada puja at a temple-like hall with orange and red walls. A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala and sits with eyes closed and hands folded, bare feet resting on a gold tray. Before him, several devotees kneel and sit in prayer: a man in a yellow shawl with palms joined, a woman in white with a yellow shawl, a man in a pale blue kurta with palms pressed together, and a shaved-headed priest in white clothing in the foreground. Gold plates hold pink lotus flowers, fruit, and small brass vessels. In the background, standing figures in white and an orange-robed person stand near the doorway, and a black board with white lettering hangs on the wall. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person, identified by the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ornate throne.

A photograph of a seated man in long-swept dark hair, wearing saffron-orange robes and a dark rudraksha mala, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gold armrests and a red cushion. He sits with hands folded in his lap while devotees gather on the floor before him. Women in white clothes with yellow shawls and orange wraps sit to the right, a man with a shaved head in white dhoti sits near a low gilded table holding brass plates with flowers, and a foreground woman with blonde hair faces the throne. Behind the throne stand a saffron-robed deity figure and gold-edged ritual objects, with orange and red-striped walls and curtains. The setting resembles a temple hall with a satsang or darshan.
