A seated man in saffron robes sits on a gold-decorated throne-style chair in front of a backdrop of green foliage and bright flower garlands. He wears long swept-back hair, a red-and-white garland of flowers and beads, and holds paper or a document that a young man in white kurta and white shirt presents to him with both hands. Behind him stands a figure in orange robes with a gold-toned necklace. Petals are scattered on the seat and floor, and the golden backrest bears a carved deity relief.

A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a gold ornate throne with a red cushion, wearing a thick yellow and pink marigold garland and an orange shawl, with a white tilak and red bindi on his forehead. He smiles while accepting a white envelope held by a bearded man in a white shirt standing at left, who leans forward and offers a paper. At right, a woman with grey hair in a white sari folds her hands in namaste. Behind the throne are red and pink roses and yellow flowers.

A photograph of a seated figure on a gilded throne draped with yellow and red marigold and rose garlands. The central figure has long dark hair, a white tilak with a red bindi on the forehead, and wears a yellow-and-white garland over orange clothing. He is smiling and looking down at papers held in his hands. On the left, an older man with white beard and white shirt leans in and holds papers and a folder. On the right, an older woman in a white sari with dark hair presses her palms together in anjali. Flowers and a red cloth fill the background. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), seated in a position of honour with a crown-like gilded throne backdrop, rudraksha-free, wearing an orange garment and garlands.

A seated man with long, wavy dark hair and a dark embroidered jacket with a blue, red and white garland sits on a red throne decorated with white jasmine and yellow, pink and red flower garlands. A man in a white shirt leans forward with clasped hands, and a woman in a pink salwar with a long braid holds a folded white paper toward the seated figure, who gestures with one hand. A small carved deity murti with a flower garland rests at the base of the throne. A young woman in white stands at the right edge. The seated man shows distinctive long hair and layered adornments, but his appearance is not clearly established, so the identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in an ashram hall. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing orange saffron clothing, a garland of multicoloured flowers and rudraksha-style beads, sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, smiling as he holds a small blue packet and a sweet-like offering. Behind him a gold-carved throne back shows a deity relief, and flower-decorated arches frame the scene. In front, a young woman in a white dress and a woman in a gold-bordered white sari stand offering a paper item. A second man in orange robes and beads stands between them. A metal bowl of wrapped candies sits at the right, and a fan is at the left.

A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with yellow, orange and red flowers and gold-carved panels. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long garland of yellow flowers sits on an elevated gold-and-white seat, with a reddish-flower arrangement behind. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at right, one hand on the seated figure's shoulder, while a woman in a white sari with gold border stands at left with her back to the camera, touching the seated figure. A second woman in a white sari with an orange shawl sits behind them at left. Oil lamps and a small table with a glass bottle are at the lower left.

A photograph of a seated figure in a gold ornate throne framed by marigold and rose garlands in yellow, magenta and purple. The central figure has long dark hair, a white tripundra mark and a red bindi, and wears a green leaf garland with flower garlands. A man in a white shirt and white beard leans in from the left, holding a folded white paper. A woman in a white sari with grey hair, gold earrings and folded hands bows at the right. The seated figure smiles while reading the paper. The a person appearance cues are the long swept hair and ornate garlands on the throne, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
