Indoor ashram hall with red carpet and wooden pillars. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a flower garland, wearing an orange head wrap, sits in a brown leather chair receiving a padapuja. A devotee in white kneels on the floor offering a fruit at a small side table holding a water bottle and a tray. Standing behind, a shaved-headed attendant in orange-saffron robes with rudraksha beads presses palms together beside a young man in white with a mala, and a row of standing devotees watches, including a woman in an orange sari and a man in an orange shirt and yellow dhoti.

Indoor photo of a seated figure in a saffron-orange garment with a saffron turban, rudraksha-style beads and a white flower garland, receiving offerings on a tray from a standing devotee in white clothing. A woman in white with palms pressed together, a man in an orange dhoti holding red fruit, and a young man in white kurta with a sacred thread stand nearby on a red carpet. A brown wooden canopy with carved pillars and an air conditioner stand behind them. The seated figure is in a wooden chair with a wooden armrest, and a water bottle sits on a small glass table.

Indoor photo in a hall with a gold-trimmed throne and dark red drapery. A seated man in a maroon-red turban and maroon garments, with a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, holds an orange over a metal bowl while a woman in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands beside him. Nearby, a woman in a maroon sari and rudraksha mala stands, and a line of devotees waits, including men in white dhoti and shirt, a man in pale trousers with a lanyard, and a woman with a child. A devotee in white kneels on a red-and-blue patterned mat before a cardboard box of oranges, sweets and brass items. The swami appearance is uncertain, so the seated figure is described by role only.

Indoor photograph of a satsang hall with red carpet and wooden pillars. A person seated in a brown leather armchair wears an orange-red turban, white flower garland and orange-red robe, extending a hand to receive offerings. Before him, a man in a white shirt and jeans reaches forward holding fruit, while a bearded man in an orange-yellow dhoti and pink shirt stands barefoot on the steps. A woman in white sari holds a framed deity image, and a young man in white with a rudraksha mala stands behind the chair. A clear water bottle sits on a small black table. Two people in saffron attire and a few others stand in the background.

A photograph of a satsang-style hall with a figure seated on a tall orange-upholstered throne at right. The seated figure wears orange robes and a dark bead mala, reading from white papers held in both hands. A devotee in white dhoti and shirt kneels at the foot of the throne, touching its base. Standing to the left are several men: an older man in white dhoti, a man in white shirt and dhoti with a red shawl, a man in a blue-and-black striped polo and dark trousers with hands clasped, and another man in white with a red shawl. A woman in white with a yellow shawl sits behind a table holding a fruit tray, banana bunches, and a water bottle. A small figure in orange stands at far left. Red drapes hang behind. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure: long swept-back hair and orange robes with a rudraksha mala, seated on the throne.
