A photograph of an indoor devotional gathering. A man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange saffron shawl and draped orange garment, multiple rudraksha malas and a rudraksha bracelet, smiles while placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. Several robed attendants in white and orange stand around, a cameraman holding a camera raises it at left, and devotees and framed portraits line the hall. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, matching the page's a person reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance, not a confirmed one.

A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in a hall. A man in a long-haired, orange-robed figure with a gold bead necklace of gold beads stands at centre, placing his right hand on the crown of a bald, bespectacled elderly devotee in white shirt and dhoti who bows with hands folded and a red beaded mala. The orange-robed figure holds a silver tray with fruit and an offering. Around them, white-clad devotees in white shirts and dhotis stand or sit, some with red shawls, and an orange-robed attendant at right holds a tray. A projector screen and a red-and-yellow decorative hanging are visible behind. The orange-robed figure with long hair, saffron robes and gold bead necklace is a probable Swamiji candidate.
