A seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) inside a shrine doorway, wearing a maroon-red turban with a jewelled ornament, a rust-red shawl over the body, a long garland of yellow-orange flowers, and a red-gold dhoti border. Above and around the throne hang brass lamps and bead strands under a gold canopy, with a gold kalasha-like finial. Tiger-stripe cushions line the throne. Kneeling at the threshold in the foreground are several devotees: a woman in white with red-and-gold border and a clay/ash mark on her arms holds a silver tray with offerings; an elderly man in white sits beside her; two women in white with a red shawl and a woman in red-maroon garments face the throne. Painted guardian figures in green and pink flank the doorway. Red carpet covers the floor. The seated figure has a distinctive long-haired, turbaned, saffron-clad appearance with a rudraksha-style garland, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label, seated in darshan on the throne.

Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, framed by a doorway with a golden parasol above and hanging bells and string lights. The seated figure wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red shawl over a rust-red garment, a pink and white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces. A deity statue with gold ornaments stands on the left. Two bare-chested priests in white dhotis and orange sacred threads sit at the foot of the throne, and a person in a dark top kneels with hands joined on the right. Colourful cloth lies in the foreground. Probable Swamiji seated in rust-red robes and turban with gold chains and garland, receiving puja from the priests during a pada puja setting.

Photo inside a temple shrine doorway framed by painted deity figures with raised hands. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy and tiger-skin-draped seats wears a maroon turban, maroon robes with a gold waistband, and a gold-beaded necklace, raising both palms in blessing. Seated devotees in white and maroon sit on the red mat below facing him; one holds a tray with brass lamps and offerings. Oil lamps hang from the ceiling beside beaded strings. Swamiji (probable) appearance-based label: the central figure wears a maroon turban and saffron-maroon robes with a gold necklace; the throne is a role cue only.

A photo of a seated man on a gilded throne within an ornate shrine framed by orange and yellow borders. He wears a rust-red turban, rust-red robes, a long pink-and-white flower garland, and heavy gold necklaces with a central pendant. A gold canopy hangs above him with small hanging bells and lamps on chains. Two shirtless men in white dhotis with rust-coloured shawls sit on the lower dais in front of him, and a woman in dark clothing sits with hands folded at the right. A painted deity statue with orange dhoti and raised hand stands at the left. Colourful draped cloths lie in the foreground. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji, is seated on the throne with distinctive turban, long ceremonial garlands and gold necklaces, consistent with the page's event description of a pada puja.

A seated man in an ornate gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion sits at the centre of a shrine doorway. He wears a saffron-orange turban and saffron robes, a red, yellow and green rudraksha-style garland, and a heavy gold necklace. Golden hanging lamps and bells surround the throne beneath a gold umbrella canopy. Three devotees sit cross-legged below the throne: two women in orange and red saris and a man in white. Orange and gold ornamental pillars frame the entrance. The figure's appearance, with saffron turban, rudraksha garland and gold ornaments, makes him a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a satsang setting.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne within a temple doorway, flanked by painted statues of deities. He wears a maroon turban, a maroon robe, a gold necklace and a pink and white flower garland, and holds a brass handbell. Two bare-chested young priests in white dhotis kneel at the base of the throne, one with a saffron cloth on his shoulder, and a woman in dark clothing sits beside them. A gold canopy hangs above the throne, and strings of small lights and brass lamps decorate the frame. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure has a turban, maroon robes and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's account of a pada puja, but the appearance is not conclusive. Setting resembles a temple sanctum with a striped cloth on the floor.

A metal tray with offerings sits at the base of the throne.

He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a long gold necklace, and a pink and white flower garland. Below, a woman in a white sari sits with hands together before the throne, and other devotees in orange and white sit to the sides. Brass lamps hang from the canopy and oil lamps glow on the floor, with red carpets in the foreground. Appearance-based candidate, consistent with a person: long-presentation cues include the rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and flower garland; the seated figure is on a throne before devotees. Visible people: seated man, woman in white, and three partially visible devotees.
