Indoor stage event with white draped curtains edged in gold and gold rosette ornaments behind. A shaved-headed man in an orange saffron robe with a red border stands centre, smiling, hands clasped, with a white tilak on his forehead. To his right, a man in white with an orange shawl holds a microphone and speaks. Behind, a man with long wavy hair in white clothes smiles, and a woman in a red-orange sari stands near a lectern. Audience heads are visible at the bottom edge.

Indoor event beside a white draped stage frame with metal tubing. A man with long dark hair and white shirt sits at a concrete counter with a laptop and flower baskets, while a woman in orange sari speaks into a microphone holding papers. Two shaven-headed men in orange robes stand at right, one with red-bordered orange cloth and a bracelet, the other with red-trimmed orange shawl and gold bracelet. A cameraman with a video camera stands behind them, and a potted plant sits on the floor. Red and yellow flower offerings are placed on the counter. a person presence unclear from appearance.

Indoor event on a raised platform before a wall of bamboo blinds, with a sound mixing console and cables at left. A man with long, loose dark hair and a white kurta stands at left, while a woman in an orange shawl stands beside a control panel. At right, a figure with swept-back long hair in an orange shawl and white garment holds a microphone and speaks. Seated in white plastic chairs in the foreground are several women in orange shawls and white or pink saris, some with glasses and garlands; one at far left wears a magenta sari. Appearance-based cues for the microphone speaker are long hair and orange shawl, which are not sufficient for a confident identification, so the figure is described by role only.

Stage event with a seated presenter in saffron robes on a white cushioned throne in the centre, backed by pink drapes and a white screen. Around him sit saffron-clad sannyasis and attendants: one wears an orange turban, another holds a saffron cloth to his face, and an attendant in white with an orange shawl sits at the far right. A man in a white shirt with a gold chain sits near the left edge. Water bottles, a microphone on a stand and a speaker sit on the blue-edged stage. Audience members' heads are visible in the lower foreground.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a bright orange-red shawl with rudraksha beads, seated on a white-covered throne-like chair and speaking into a silver handheld microphone while smiling. He wears a red bindi and bare shoulders. Beside him, a man in white with an orange shawl and glasses sits and listens, and a bearded man in orange robes sits behind them. A small child's head is visible at the lower right, and a green-and-pink paper streamer hangs on the pale wall. A woven mat lies on the floor in front.

A seated man in orange clothing with a bare chest and red bindi smiles broadly while holding a microphone near his mouth; a dark rudraksha-style mala hangs across his body.

One elderly man in white with orange shawl holds a tall wooden staff.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange garment and rudraksha mala, sitting on a white-draped throne and extending his hand toward a kneeling woman in white with a rudraksha necklace who smiles and leans forward. Behind them a standing man in white with an orange shawl holds a tray of offerings, and a young man in an orange shawl with a mala stands at left, near a seated woman in white. A white-draped table holds flowers and small items; a trident is visible at upper right and a red curtain hangs behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-clad man with long hair, rudraksha mala and throne is a distinctive presentation match.
