A photograph of a ceremonial scene in front of an ornate silver arched throne with a glowing orange backdrop. A seated man with a shaved head, wearing a brown and cream patterned shawl over a rust-coloured dhoti, sits on the throne smiling. Two attendants in plain white shirts and white dhotis kneel on the floor before him; one holds an object near his hands and the other, a woman in a white sari, kneels at the right holding a small item. Red cushions and white flower petals lie on the floor, with a garland at left. a person cues are insufficient here because the figure lacks distinctive adornments like long hair, crown, or rudraksha malas; he is shown as a seated presence with attendants, so identity is uncertain.

January 11 20132013-01-11January 11 20132013-01-11January 11 20132013-01-11A seated man with short hair and a broad smile sits on a red cloth before an ornate silver arch framed by a large silver circular halo and a backdrop of bright orange flames. He wears a zebra-striped shawl over his bare chest, a white flower garland, and rust-red dhoti-style cloth. Two men kneel nearby: one in a white shirt and dark dhoti bowing low with hands on the floor, and another in a white shirt at the left edge. A third person in saffron-orange robes sits at the right edge. Small offerings, fruit and flowers lie on a tray near the seated figure. The scene suggests a devotional gathering at a dais. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the role is described as a seated man receiving devotees.2013-01-11Stage darshan scene in front of a backdrop of large orange flames. A seated figure in a red-and-gold garment and dark, swept-back hair sits on a red cushioned throne inside a large gilded circular arch, with a trident and a ceremonial staff beside it. A man in a white kurta kneels with both hands raised toward the seated figure, and another kneeling devotee in white touches the figure's hand. Two women in white sit to the right, one wearing a red-bead mala, while a red shopping bag sits on the carpet. Metal tridents and a peacock-feather fan stand at the left edge.

A seated figure in orange robes sits on the throne, with a person in white kneeling and bowing with forehead to the golden base. A woman in an orange garment stands at left and another woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at right. Red-draped tables and a small lit lamp flank the throne. Appearance-based label: the seated figure in orange robes on the throne is a person candidate, though the face and features are too blurred to confirm.2009-08-18Indoor temple-style hall with red carpet and a red mat in front. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a deep red-brown garment and a pink-and-white flower garland, sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-like motif, flanked by golden trees with lights. Behind him is a golden deity murti with multiple arms holding a trident-like object. Several people in white clothes kneel and sit around the throne with hands folded in devotion; a man in white kneels close to the throne touching its base, and a man in a white dhoti and shawl sits on the left.

A red-brown cloth backdrop hangs behind the setting.2016-09-23May 19 20132013-05-19A photograph of a padapuja ceremony on a raised stage draped with red and gold brocade. A central seated figure wears a gold crown, long dark hair, a red and white floral garland, saffron clothing and ornate gold jewellery, hands folded in his lap. Around him, devotees in white clothes and orange shawls kneel and bend forward, one pouring water from a silver vessel, others offering flowers and touching the seated figure's feet. Oil lamps, a bronze vessel, fruit and a brass pot sit on a red cloth before him. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his crown, long hair, saffron robes and gold necklaces, seated on a golden throne as the central figure being honoured. Six people are visible.2007-01-01A seated figure on a gold throne with carved lion armrests and a gold arched backrest against red velvet drapes wears an orange-red turban, a rose-and-green garland and a red-and-gold shawl, smiling.

Two kneeling attendants in white dhotis with gold borders face the throne; one holds a small object toward the seated figure.

The white clothing and kneeling attendants suggest a ritual honouring, with the seated figure on a raised throne.2015-11-10Stage photograph of a seated guru on a red-cushioned throne within a large gold ornamental arch, flanked by trident-topped staffs and a peacock-feather fan. The seated figure wears a leopard-print garment, a gold necklace and a red tilak on the forehead, with long swept-back hair; this is a probable Swamiji appearance-based match. Three devotees sit on a red carpet before him: a woman in white with a vibhuti-marked forehead at left, a bearded man in white kurta and dhoti kneeling in the centre, and a woman in a dark patterned top with a long braid at right.
