A young woman in a costume-style deity presentation sits holding a pink lotus flower in one hand and a sword raised in the other. She wears a maroon and gold silk sari with an ornate silver-and-red jewelled collar, gold bangles, a red and gold jewelled headband, and a white tripundra mark on her forehead. Behind her are orange and yellow cloths, marigold garlands, and a deity murti with pink and yellow flowers. No a person candidate is visibly present.

A man in a saffron-orange robe with maroon border and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet upholstery and a golden canopy hung with leaf-shaped pendants. A red bindi marks his forehead. He rests his hands clasped in his lap and gazes forward. Two brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside the throne, and orange and white flower arrangements decorate the sides. In front, three seated devotees in white clothing sit with their backs to the camera, facing him. Before the throne, a gilded offering tray holds pink lotus flowers and incense sticks. A large painted backdrop of a deity figure with stone pillars fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the man on the throne wears saffron robes, rudraksha mala and a long-haired appearance consistent with the page's identification.

A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) with a gilded canopy overhead. He wears an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders and bare chest, a red-and-maroon border, a tall rudraksha mala, and a red bindi on his forehead, with eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long hair and rudraksha mala are the qualifying cues, and he is seated in the central role on the throne. Two people in white garments sit facing him from the lower left and right, and a bald man in white is at the far left edge. In front of the throne are a gold-leaf decorated platform with pink flowers, incense sticks and offerings. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand on both sides, and a large painted backdrop shows a deity in red and gold.
