A photograph of a ceremonial scene in front of a red draped backdrop and a row of bamboo poles hung with brass bells. On the right, a man with a crown-like orange and gold turban, rudraksha mala with large beads, gold earrings and a deep orange-red robe sits on a golden-patterned throne and rests his hands on the head of a kneeling devotee. The kneeling devotee, bent forward in an orange and yellow robe, receives the blessing. Behind them, a man in a white kurta holds up a folded orange cloth. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated man, based on the turban, mala and ornate saffron clothing, shown in a blessing role.

A man in a rust-brown turban with a white ornament and a brown robe sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, holding an orange-saffron cloth draped over his hands. He wears long dark hair, a brown rudraksha-style mala and a gold necklace, and a black wristband. Beside him, a man in white dhoti with a red-brown mala and white-marked forehead holds a tray, while a man in a red shirt with gold trim and green lungi bends forward to offer a dish. A young man in red stands at right with a drum and white headband. Gilded carved throne, red velvet backdrop, and a gold-framed emblem appear behind them. Ceremonial temple-style offering scene.

A photograph of an indoor event on a red carpet with red drapes behind. A woman in a maroon sari and red turban with beaded trim and gold jewellery kneels at left, holding an orange-and-maroon shawl up toward a bald man in a saffron-orange robe at right. Behind them a trident is visible, and several people in orange and white stand in the background. A man in a pink shirt and a man in a blue shirt with a pearl necklace stand at the right edge.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a red-curtained hall, wearing a rust-orange turban, long rudraksha and gold bead malas, bangles and an orange-and-gold dress, smiling and resting a hand on a cushion. Seated beside him is a bald man with a yellow tilak, glasses and a rudraksha mala over orange-red robes, hands folded. A kneeling man with long hair in a bun and an orange shawl presses his palms together before the throne. Standing behind are people in white and cream dhotis with rudraksha malas and a woman in a blue kurta and red leggings. Behind the throne stands a brass oil lamp and a gilded deity murti. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji (probable), is the figure on the throne, identified by the turban, rudraksha and gold malas and ceremonial dress; the cues are compatible but not fully distinctive.

A seated man on a gold-cushioned throne wears a rust-red turban, red-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala with gold beads, smiling as he holds a small offering in his hand.

Standing to the left, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl with gold border wears rudraksha malas, sacred ash marks on his forehead and arms, and performs a gesture with his hands. A younger man in red-orange cloth and a rudraksha mala stands at the far left edge.
