A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and a tiered golden canopy, red cushions and a red-and-gold stepped base. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body, a pink-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces and gold bangles, with a red tilak on his forehead, and presses his palms together in greeting. Behind him, a painted backdrop shows a deity with raised hands holding a mirror and a lit lamp, with gold leaf foliage above and deep red curtains at the sides. A gold trident stands at the left, and a red-and-gold cloth rests on the platform before the throne.

A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a pink and white flower garland, rudraksha mala beads, and a gold pendant, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and carved lion-head arms. Behind the throne is a gold-leaf tree backdrop and a painted deity figure holding a trident-like staff and a flame, with red drapes on either side. A gold trident stands at the left. The man, with long hair and a beard and a red bindi, rests his bare feet on an orange cushion.

A man in orange-red ochre robes sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests, red cushions and a gold trident leaning at the left. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold pendant, rudraksha mala beads, gold armlets and a vermilion forehead mark, and smiles with raised hands. Behind the throne, a painted deity mural shows a figure holding a drum and flame, with gold leafy decoration and maroon drapes. A railing sits in the foreground. Page indicates a person at this event, so the appearance is consistent with a person in person.

A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a tiered golden canopy and lion-head armrests, raising his right hand in greeting. He wears saffron-orange robes, a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, with gold armbands. A golden trident leans at the left edge and a red cushion sits behind him. Behind the throne, a painted backdrop shows a deity with raised hands holding a mirror-like object and a flame, with gold foliage above and red drapes at the sides. A railing runs across the lower foreground. The man has a swept-back dark hairstyle and a beard; the figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference through his saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold ornaments, so the identification is probable.

A seated man in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a gold-decorated canopy, raising both palms in blessing. He wears a gold necklace and a white-and-pink flower garland. Before him stands a microphone on a stand, and a small framed picture sits on a wooden stool beside the throne. Behind the throne hangs a painted deity backdrop with a blue-skinned figure holding ritual objects, framed by red curtains, stone pillars carved with figures and animals, a golden trident, brass oil lamps (oil lamps) and brass vessels with offerings. The man is wearing a turban, gold necklace and garland, and his robe is rust-red, which together with the golden throne and the wide, ceremonial stage suggests a satsang discourse setting.

A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, centred before a microphone stand and a large painted backdrop of multi-armed deity figures. He wears a rust-orange wrap, a rudraksha mala, a long white and pink flower garland, a gold pendant and a dark red-brown head covering, with hands raised in an animated gesture while smiling. A golden trident stands at the left and a small framed picture sits on a wooden stool beside the throne. Carved golden pillars frame the stage. The figure matches the a person cues of saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold, and the page places him at a satsang, so this is a satsang setting with a seated teacher speaking to devotees. Nothing else is visible.

A photograph of a satsang stage in a gold-decorated hall. A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne with a peacock-fan backrest and red cushions. He wears a rust-brown dhoti and wrap, a red tilak on his forehead, gold necklaces, a pink-and-white flower garland and gold armbands, and he gazes off to one side beside a microphone on a stand. A golden trident stands to his left, a small wooden stool with an orange cup sits beside the throne, and brass oil lamps and a golden tree backdrop fill the frame. A gilded deity murti stands behind him. The appearance matches the probable Swamiji cues: long hair, ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha-style adornment and a throne setting, though the image is not certain.
