A photograph of a seated figure in an orange robe and white flower garland with dark red beads, smiling broadly, on a white-draped chair. A young boy in white kurta and pants stands before them, holding a small bouquet, while a kneeling person in white is touching the boy's back. Behind them, a man in an orange robe with a gold necklace holds a tray, and several saffron-robed attendants stand at left. A brass oil lamp, a silver tray of fruit and a white decorative vessel sit on an orange-draped table at right, in a marble-floored interior with carved wooden doors. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, an orange garment and a flower garland, and is positioned as the honoured guest receiving the boy.

A seated man in a saffron-orange robe over a red top, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, smiles while holding the hand of a small boy in a green-grey jacket. He sits on a cream and gold-patterned cushioned seat with red bolsters, in front of a wall of yellow marigold garlands. A woman in a white top with a rudraksha mala stands behind, and a woman in a pink sari leans in at right. An older man in white kurta stands at left, and another woman in yellow is partly visible at right edge. Photo of a meditation or satsang gathering.

A seated man on the right wears an orange-saffron shawl over a bare chest, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, a red forehead mark and dark hair tied in a bun. He sits on a dark red cushioned seat beside tall brass lamps. Facing him, a young boy in a cream shirt bends forward to a small offering. Behind them a seated man in white ritual clothes with a rudraksha mala watches, and a cameraman in a red shirt films from a tripod while a white tower fan stands nearby. Probable Swamiji cues: swept-back hair bun, saffron shawl and rudraksha mala, with the seat and lamps indicating a presentation setting.

A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe on an ornate gold throne with floral garlands of red and yellow flowers behind it. He is barefoot on a red cushion and rests a hand on the throne as a small child in white leans in to receive a blessing. A woman in a white sari with purple-and-gold border stands at right, and a young man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at left, hands together. The seated figure wears saffron robes and appears to be a person on a throne receiving devotees, consistent with a darshan setting.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a swept-back hairstyle and a white tilak on his forehead sits on a red-and-gold throne draped in silver-patterned fabric, reaching down to touch the head of a small girl in a pink dress who kneels before him with a rudraksha mala hanging from her neck. Behind him, a man in orange robes with a ceremonial necklace and a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala stand near marigold garlands. A man in white and a bald head appear in the lower foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by his saffron robes, swept-back hair, rudraksha-adorned presence and throne seat, in a blessing gesture with the child.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red bindi and a dark swept-back hairstyle, smiling as a young girl in a white embroidered dress leans toward him. Behind him is a backdrop of yellow marigold garlands and a white draped cushion. A man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala bends forward at left, and an older bearded man in white with a mala stands at right. A person in orange robes stands at far left. The seated figure has distinctive saffron robes, swept-back hair and ceremonial setting cues, consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated in a receiving role.

Photo of a temple darshan scene. A figure seated on a white-draped throne-like seat wears saffron-orange robes with a long braided plait down the back, and is smiling as devotees approach. A man in white kneels at the left with his hands folded and a devotee in a white garment bows at the seat's edge. A tray of fruit and offerings sits on a table beside the seat. Standing men in white shirts and dhotis, some with yellow scarves, one in orange robes, and a rudraksha mala, watch from the left. Behind them are brass lamps, a gold-trimmed shrine with a marble deity murti decorated with garlands, and a purple cloth. Water bottles sit on a white table at right. Seated figure appearance is uncertain, so identity is not asserted.

Photo of a children's day or paada pooja style gathering inside a decorated hall with a gold-carved backdrop and floral garlands. A seated man with long swept-back hair, a multi-coloured flower garland and an orange robe with gold trim, appears to be the person being honoured (Swamiji (probable), with long hair and a saffron robe as cues).

A young woman in white with a red thread bracelet stands beside them, and two saffron-robed attendants stand behind. Pink and purple wrapped sweets sit in a metal tray at right.
