At center, a seated figure on a gold lion-armed throne wears a red and orange garment and a red garland, with a hand raised; a central throne has a heart-shaped backrest of flowers. Flanking seats hold more garlanded murtis in pink, red, purple and yellow dress, with a golden figure on a far-right peetha. Ceiling spotlights and a small camera-like logo at top left. Several seated figures and murtis are shown, but only the central seated person is a physical human.

Several golden thrones and deity murtis are arranged across the stage, each adorned with marigold and colourful garland borders. On the central throne, a seated figure in a maroon-brown robe with a rudraksha-style mala and gold ornaments sits between two golden lion figures. Flanking thrones hold deity murtis including a standing figure with a crown and trident-like weapon, and seated murtis with kalasha-style decoration. Red carpeting covers the stage floor, and gold lion mounts sit at the sides. No audience is visible.2013-12-24A photograph of a decorated stage in a hall with a maroon velvet drape behind it. A seated figure in orange-red garments with a rudraksha mala sits on a gilded throne with cushions, flanked by floral garlands. To the left and right are other ornate thrones and deity murti figures draped in garlands, with a gold-trimmed peetha and a figure in yellow with a vahana-style animal at right. The figure on the central throne matches the presentation the page describes, with long hair and a rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji identification based on those cues; the ceremonial setting and garlanded thrones are visible.2013-12-25December 25 20132013-12-25A stage set with a deep red velvet drape and red carpet, showing a central golden throne with lion armrests and a heart-shaped back wreathed in yellow, red and white garlands. A seated figure in a maroon-red robe with a beaded necklace and a small headpiece occupies the central throne, appearing as a person seated in a ceremonial role. To the left stands a deity murti of Lord Shiva-form with a crescent crown and trident-like adornments, garlanded in red and yellow, with a golden bull-like figure beside it. To the right, a golden arched alcove holds three seated murtis draped in red and garlanded, with an oil lamp at the far edge. The setting suggests a satsang or darshan arrangement with decorated thrones and garlanded deity figures.2013-12-24December 24 20132013-12-24December 24 20132013-12-24December 24 20132013-12-24A stage set for a ceremony displays a row of ornate golden thrones and deity figures draped in garlands of marigolds and green leaves. A central throne with a heart-shaped gold back holds a seated figure in red and gold attire, flanked by other decorated seats and murtis, one with a bull-like vehicle, another with a peacock-style mount. Red carpeting covers the stage, with a maroon curtain and white ceiling lights above. Several deity murti are seated in front of blue, yellow and pink draping. The seated figure does not clearly match a person depiction, so the candidate is unsure.2013-12-24A photograph of a stage set with ornate gold thrones draped in marigold and rose garlands against a deep red velvet backdrop.
