A seated man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. He wears an orange saffron wrap, a red-and-orange shawl draped over his shoulders, and a beaded rudraksha-style mala with a gold necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead. Pink and white flowers decorate the throne and a blue framed doorway behind him, and a tiered brass oil lamp burns on the right with several flames lit. White pillars frame the hall and a small offering tray with white flowers rests at the bottom. Probable Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) is seated in satsang-style posture, the appearance cues matching his long hair, saffron clothing, and mala.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and gold chain sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, centred in a shrine-like alcove. In the foreground, a multi-tiered brass lamp with many lit oil lamps blurs in front of him. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the throne, and a carved deity-like figure with a trident and an OM-marked staff appears at the top edges. To the right, a small figure with folded hands sits on the lower ledge. A person's hand holds the blurred lamp in the lower left. Bright blue, green and pink painted panels frame the scene.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and red-and-white flower garlands sits on a golden throne with ornate carved backrest and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a white forehead marking, a long rudraksha-style bead necklace and a gold ornament, with his hands resting on the armrests. In the foreground, a multi-tiered brass aarti lamp with lit flames is held by a blurred hand, and a gold kalasha-like vessel sits at the right. A brass bell hangs in the background. The throne and lamp setting suggests a ceremonial satsang or darshan. Appearance matches the page's reference to Swamiji, with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha beads and ceremonial garlands, so the label is probable.

A man in saffron-orange robes with gold-bordered yellow sashes stands with palms pressed together in a namaste greeting, eyes lowered, before a tall ornate silver lamp stand (deepam) wrapped in red and orange flower garlands with a lit wick at its top. Rudraksha beads hang on his chest, he wears gold armlets and bangles, and a tilak is marked on his forehead. Behind him a gilded throne with red cushions and a red velvet curtain form the backdrop, with brass lamps to the right.

A man with long dark hair, a white and red tilak on his forehead, rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, and an orange robe sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions. Two attendants in orange robes sit beside the throne, one holding a small ceremonial item. In the foreground, a blurred row of lit oil lamps and a bald figure in orange are visible. Gold oil lamps hang from chains and stand on the sides of a doorway decorated with beaded strings.

A photograph of a seated figure in an ornate gilded throne framed by a blue and pink painted temple doorway. The seated person wears a rust-red garment and a long beaded necklace, hands folded in the lap, while a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. Behind the throne hang strings of small lamps and metal ornaments. In the left foreground a multi-tiered brass lamp burns with many flames, and a hand holds a silver aarti plate or lamp toward the throne. Two small figures sit at the lower right near offerings and a brass lamp stand. Such a lamp-offering scene suggests an aarti during a puja.

A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a large arched backrest and red velvet cushions, palms pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his body with gold-yellow borders, a gold necklace of beads and a pendant, and a red-and-gold headband with a red tilak on his forehead. Cream pillars and a blue-patterned wooden screen stand behind him. Swamiji (probable): long hair and ornate gold necklaces with orange-saffron clothing and a crown-like headpiece, seated on a throne as a visiting spiritual leader.
