A photograph of a puja or darbar in a decorated hall with a red and brown backdrop framed by garland arches of orange and red flowers. A golden throne-like peetha holds a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure with long hair, and the throne is flanked by flower garlands. In front, a white-clad man in a yellow shawl sits with hands joined in prayer near a row of colourful paper-kite-shaped offerings on a white platform. Two saffron-robed men sit on the platform, one seated beside a bearded man in white. A kalasha and metal vessels stand on the platform. Several seated devotees in white and saffron sit on mats at the lower edge of the frame.

A photograph of a seated congregation in white clothes facing a raised stage in a tent-like hall with maroon drapes and decorative woven banners on the pillars. On the stage stand several gold-coloured deity murti statues and a gold-framed picture, and a figure in white sits near the centre of the platform. Many people in white kurtas and saris sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, with a child visible at right. The scene appears to be a satsang or puja-style gathering.

A wide photo of a stage set with dark maroon velvet curtains framing the sides and a white valance across the top. On the orange-carpeted platform, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned throne-like seat under a decorated backdrop with lit lamps. Several people in white and yellow clothing sit cross-legged on the floor in front of the throne, facing it, with small offerings or flowers placed on a mat before them. A white floor fan stands at the right edge of the stage. The scene reads as a satsang or discourse setting.

A seated audience of roughly fifty people in white clothing sits on orange mats and chairs facing a raised white stage draped with dark maroon and blue curtains and white fringed swags. On the stage, several people in saffron-orange robes sit in front of a large ornate gold throne holding a framed portrait, while others in white and yellow sit to the sides. Two screens and a ceiling fan are visible.

A photograph of a ceremonial hall with dark red curtains and a raised stage. On a red and gold throne at the centre sits a figure in orange robes with a crown-like headdress, flanked by a garland of marigolds, while a seated attendant in orange robes sits at the foot of the dais, apparently offering something. Two people in the foreground sit on mats facing the stage: one in white with long dark hair, another in orange robes with dark hair. Oil lamps and lit candles line the floor, and incense smoke rises at the sides. A plate of offerings sits on the floor near the front. Visible identification cue: the seated central figure wears orange ochre robes, a crown and a garland, so this is a probable Swamiji presence.

Photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with a draped white and maroon canopy and blue curtain backdrop. On a raised white stage, several people in white and saffron sit around a golden throne-like seat with a framed portrait. Two figures in orange/saffron robes sit near the center, flanked by others in white and yellow garments. Dozens of seated attendees in white clothing and orange fill the floor and rows of black chairs facing the stage, with a projection screen and a large lamp-lit altar area visible at the sides.

A stage event with a gilded ornate throne at the back, framed by garlands of marigolds and green leaves over a golden arch. On the throne sits a framed photograph of a saffron-robed figure with long hair and a rudraksha mala, flanked by flower arrangements. In front, a man in orange robes with a mala sits cross-legged at a white altar lined with small white boxes and metal vessels, holding a microphone. Beside him, a bearded man in white with a yellow scarf sits with hands joined. Young people in white and yellow sit on the floor in the foreground, and colourful paper diamond decorations hang along the stage edge. a person candidate in the saffron-robed seated figure is an appearance-based probable match; this is a satsang and puja setting.

A stage event in a hall with navy blue draped curtains and overhead lights. A man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne at centre, with a crown-like gold frame behind him, seemingly addressing the gathering. A gold-framed figure dressed in orange sits on a smaller gold throne at the far left. In front, about a dozen people sit on orange and purple mats: several women in white and cream saris, a bald man in white, and two young men in white dhotis at the left near microphones. Some hold brass plates of offerings. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse.
