A photograph of a padapuja-style reception on a red carpet strewn with yellow marigold petals. In the centre a smiling man in a maroon dhoti-style garment with gold borders wears a long white-and-red flower garland and a gold pendant, and steps forward with a raised hand. Beside him a man in orange robes with a maroon border and a rudraksha mala holds a tall silver staff. Behind them a man in an orange cloth and white-clad devotees stand near a white-tiled wall with blue floral tiling and a barred window. A woman in white holds a brass plate. The scene is outdoors-indoors at a temple-style entrance with a golden column.

Four people walk along a concrete path beside a black iron fence with gold-painted finials, in front of a red brick wall and green trees. The central figure, with long dark hair, wears a white and red flower garland, a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap, and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, and walks barefoot. Two sannyasi attendants in orange-maroon robes and rudraksha malas walk behind him, and a shaved-headed man in a maroon wrap walks at right. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and flower garland, walking in procession.

A photograph of a doorway at a temple-like entrance decorated with yellow marigold garlands and green leaves. A smiling man stands in the centre wearing a rust-red robe with a gold-coloured sash, layered rudraksha beads around his neck, and a red bindi on his forehead. He is flanked by devotees: a bald man in glasses in a light blue shirt bends forward with hands folded, and a woman in a pink and cream patterned sari with gold earrings holds folded hands in front of her. Other people in white and dark clothing crowd behind. Orange-red metal gates with gold finials frame the scene.

To the right, a bald, bespectacled man in maroon robes and a gold-beaded necklace walks beside a boy in a yellow t-shirt. Behind them, a red-painted shrine with carved arches and onlookers in saffron and orange clothing stand under a tin roof with a white pillar wrapped in cloth.

Outdoor photo of a group walking across a dusty ground beside a red-brick building with a corrugated metal roof and a thatched shed. Several men in orange and saffron robes and gold-bordered dhotis walk together, many wearing rudraksha malas. An elderly bald-headed man in an orange shawl with gray hair, hands folded, walks at centre. A man in an orange turban holds a long wooden staff. Another man in an orange turban wears a mala and a white name badge. A bald man and a younger man wear gold-edged dhotis and malas on the right. A white sack lies in the lower left corner.

A photograph of a temple walkway in India with a thatched palm-leaf roof on the left. A man in orange saffron robes with a long white-and-orange garland walks barefoot toward the temple, with a sannyasi's long hair swept back. Around him, a man in a white shirt and dhoti and several men in white dhotis, some bare-chested, walk along the path. Behind them the blue temple wall has ornate carvings, painted deity panels and a golden gopuram-style tower. Palm trees and a crowd of onlookers stand in the background. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing; appearance-based identity is uncertain.
