A seated man with long dark hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment and a long rudraksha mala, and sits on a white-draped seat before a temple shrine. A man in white shirt and dark trousers leans forward, holding his hands together and clasping the seated man's hand. Behind them, two attendants in orange kurtas and a priest in white with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala stand near a wooden tray holding offerings, packets and a flower. Brass lamps, kalasha vessels and a red-and-gold shrine sit on the stone platform behind. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, shown receiving a devotee.

Indoor event photo with a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl standing at right, raising both hands near his head in a gesture of reverence while facing left. Beside him, a seated man in an orange sleeveless top and orange shawl, with a dark bun and a rudraksha mala, holds a small white cloth or paper in his hands and looks down. Behind them, a standing figure in orange robes and a white cooler unit occupy the background, with a seated devotee in white and a gold-bordered cloth at lower center. The seated man wears a red and black patterned seat cover beneath him. The scene suggests a satsang or ritual exchange in an ashram hall.

Photograph of three men at an indoor entrance with a white pillared wall and framed black-and-white photos on the left. The central man has long dark hair, a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and wears an orange sleeveless wrap over bare shoulders. He is looking down while a man in a white garment with a ponytail on the left and a man in orange robes with a maroon border on the right adjust or attend to the wrap. Green leaf garlands hang above and multicoloured flags frame the scene. a person cues are not sufficiently distinctive here, so the central man is described by role as a devotee being attended to.

He leans forward with his hand near a small wooden table. Standing beside him is a younger man in white kurta and white trousers with an orange shawl over his shoulders and gold bangles on his wrist, holding a pen and papers and looking down at the table. The table holds a tray of small items and a stack of notebooks, with cables trailing below. Behind them hangs a pink and grey draped backdrop, and a white electric fan stands at left. Two people are visible, both in the foreground.

Photograph in a hall at night showing a long-haired man in saffron-orange unstitched robes and a rudraksha mala, hands in a gesture of address, standing before two men in white shirts with palms pressed together in namaste; one has a lanyard and gold bracelet. A shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti with a gold necklace stands at right beside a tray holding fruit and a rudraksha mala. Orange draped fabric and floral decorations hang in the background. Several other people stand behind. The long-haired man with rudraksha mala and saffron robes matches the Swamiji candidate cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable).
