Indoor procession in a hotel-style hall with a patterned runner on the tiled floor. A man in orange robes and a long flower garland in pink and white walks centre, barefoot, with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, a striking orange-and-gold figure leading. Behind him a bearded man in orange robes and another orange-clad sannyasi follow. Two women in white and blue-bordered saris carry flower-filled brass trays on the left, and a woman in a red sari stands at right beside a small boy in camouflage clothing. Drummers and other devotees line the background beneath red and teal festoon decorations.

A photograph of a stage set for a puja, with a gold-framed red throne and a golden base holding small lamps and pink flowers at center. A devotee in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala stands in the middle with palms joined. Behind the throne, a painted backdrop shows a deity murti and temple pillars, with a green tree scene at right. On the right, a row of people in white, red, yellow and teal clothing stand with palms pressed together, including a small girl in white kneeling on the floor. On the left, a woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl and a woman in a red patterned sari stand near the edge. Offerings of brass plates, pink flowers and orange cloths lie on the floor in front.

A photograph of a festive satsang under a white tent with a red carpet and a red backdrop. On a raised golden throne with a heart-shaped halo sits a seated figure in red and gold, with a garland, before a temple-style gold and grey structure. Lines of devotees in white dhotis and white saris stand along the side stages, some with folded hands. A cameraman with a camera on a tripod films from the left, and a man in a white shirt and a woman in a cream sari walk in the foreground. The seated figure's outfit and setting resemble the throne and presentation described in the page, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity.
