A photograph of a ceremonial reception on a stage. A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold lion-form armrests and a cushioned seat. Before him, a man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward receiving a long white and red flower garland that the seated figure is placing over him. A woman in a red and orange sari stands with palms joined beside him, and an older man in a white dhoti and shirt with folded hands stands at left. Behind them, several women in white and colourful saris stand near red and maroon curtains. In front, brass trays hold rows of sweets and offerings on a patterned rug, with a golden plate of fruit at the right edge of the throne. Probable Swamiji seated on the throne: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold throne cues.

A photograph of a ceremony at a temple-style hall. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-gold border shawl sits on a gold-trimmed throne backed by a large arch of yellow, orange, red and purple marigolds and green leaves. A bald priest in orange robes at left holds a tray of fruit, and a man in a white shirt and beige dhoti bends forward toward the seated figure. A woman in a white sari stands at right holding a small object. Garlands hang along the upper edges of the frame. Four people are visible.

Indoor ceremony with a seated man in saffron-orange robes, a leopard-print headwrap, a rudraksha-style bead mala, and gold armlets, sitting on a golden throne with his palms pressed together in namaste. A woman in a white sari with orange border sits to the left with hands joined, and another person in white with a green-and-yellow border kneels in the lower right, facing him. An orange shag rug covers a white cloth on the wooden stage. Behind him are a silver ornate backdrop, a tall floral arrangement of purple orchids and pink gladioli, and a decorative canopy with multicolored tassels. The setting appears to be a pada-puja devotee offering.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair sits on a red and gold ornate throne in front of a golden peetha backdrop, with a large deity murti decorated with colourful garlands and a teal cloth at the right edge. Around him on a red and blue patterned rug, a group of devotees sit in prayer: a woman in orange with hands folded, children in orange and white, a shaved-headed priest with tilak, a girl in red, and several women in white and orange clothing seen from behind. A smaller golden throne with a seated deity figure and flower garlands sits to the left, with a brass vessel and offerings on a low table and a microphone stand at the left edge. Several people in the group wear white ritual clothing and orange shawls. The man on the throne is a probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ornate seated position on a throne.

A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved, floral back, decorated with green, red, yellow and white garlands. He wears long hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and raises one hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Two vases of pink and purple flowers and water bottles stand on a white podium in front of an orange painted backdrop with a stylised brown and white motif. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange head wrap, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, seated on a golden throne while giving a speech.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and sits on a white throne-like chair while a devotee in a red saree and another in a white top with braided hair kneel before him. His right hand rests on a devotee's head in blessing, and a paper slip is held up nearby. Behind him stands a woman in a yellow garment with a flower in her hair, with trays of fruit, sweets and rudraksha malas displayed on a white table in front. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, one with an orange shawl, stand watching in an indoor hall with red curtains and a ceiling fan. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in orange with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-adorned presence.
