A photograph inside a temple-style hall with red velvet curtains and a painted wall. On the left, a person in an orange-brown garment and red rudraksha-style beaded necklace sits on a gold-and-red floral-decorated throne with lion figures, hands joined in front of the face. In the centre, a decorated deity murti in green and gold garments with a garland sits behind a red velvet cloth, flanked by two smaller murtis in green and pink-white dress with garlands. On the right, a man in orange robes holds a lit oil lamp aarti in front of the murtis. A shaved-headed figure stands in the background. The floor is polished with red carpets.

A photograph of a stage set for a ritual discourse. Seated centrally on a red-cushioned throne-like seat is a man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange-red turban and a rudraksha mala around his neck, hands folded in his lap; this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) candidate, qualified by the saffron clothing, turban and rudraksha mala. Behind him a large golden peetha/throne with a horse-head motif is draped in garlands of yellow, orange and pink flowers and holds a deity murti. Flanking him are two golden ornate niches: on the left a seated murti in a garland and white ornaments, on the right a female deity murti in green and gold draped in a yellow-and-white garland, with a blue cloth beneath. A younger man in orange dhoti stands at far left holding a lit oil lamp, and small oil lamps sit on the floor. A red velvet curtain forms the backdrop.

A stage set with a painted temple backdrop of blue, red and green columns and a wooden door. On the left, a seated man in a rust-coloured dhoti and a red-and-gold turban sits on a gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests, his hands pressed together at his face in prayer. Flanking him are two painted deity figures holding attributes. To the right, a decorated deity murti is adorned with thick garlands of marigolds and yellow, white and purple flowers, seated on a gold-draped platform beneath an ornate gilded arch. Brass lamp stands and a floor carpet complete the scene.

A photograph inside a decorated hall showing a seated figure on a gold ornate throne with red cushions, wearing a multi-coloured garland and gold jewellery, positioned at left. In the centre, two deity murti stand before a golden arched canopy with a magenta backdrop, both dressed in red and gold cloth and garlanded with multi-coloured flower strands. Two people sit on the white floor before them: one in white ritual clothing with an orange turban and beaded necklaces, another in a maroon and gold garment. A bald man in orange and saffron dhoti stands at right beside a silver pillar holding a small object. A red patterned carpet covers the floor in front, and a standing fan and speaker are visible.

A photograph of a stage set with a gold ornate throne at centre, draped with a golden canopy and flanked by a red cushioned seat. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes, a saffron head wrap and rudraksha-style beads sits on the throne, holding a golden trident-topped staff beside him. To the left, adorned deity murti or figures are garlanded with yellow and multicoloured flower garlands on a red-draped platform. To the right, a garlanded murti stands on a gold pedestal ringed with brass oil lamps and a floral wreath. Dark maroon curtains form the backdrop and a red carpet covers the stage. The scene reflects a satsang or puja setting; the stage is empty of other physical people apart from the seated figure.

A seated man in saffron robes and an orange turban sits on a red-cushioned golden throne before a gilded stage with a golden bull (Nandi) and a deity murti garlanded with yellow and multicolour flowers. A standing attendant in orange clothes on the left stands with hands extended toward the seated figure, and a gold statue of another deity stands at right. Red velvet drapes frame the stage, with brass lamps and a microphone stand on the dais. The attendant and seated man are the only living people visible.
