A photograph of an indoor ceremony in a bright room. A woman in a yellow garment is being draped with a yellow shawl by a bearded man in an orange turban and glasses, who holds his hands together in greeting. Behind them a monastic in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands. On the right, a seated figure with a white forehead mark, rudraksha beads, gold earrings and orange-red clothing presses palms together and smiles, with a golden object beside them. A marigold garland hangs from the bearded man's neck. Flowers and a plant are visible in the background.

Indoor photograph of a religious ceremony in a pink-walled room with a framed deity print on the wall and a brass oil lamp at right. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a dark rudraksha mala and an orange saffron wrap stands at left with hands folded. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes reaches out to clasp the hands of a bare-chested priest wearing a red shawl with gold border and white dhoti, who stands before brass vessels and a bell. A bearded man in orange robes sits at right, and a yellow-saree-clad woman is partly visible at far left. Several figures in the room are visible, and the scene appears to be a formal blessing or ordination exchange.

A photograph of an indoor meeting in a plain room with a wooden panel door and a wooden chair. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange robe and a multicolour flower garland, and holds out a red and gold bordered shawl toward an elderly white-bearded man with long white hair and an orange cloth draped over his bare chest. The elderly man stands facing him with hands at his sides. Behind them a younger man in orange, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stand near a white floral garland hanging on the left edge. Appearance-based candidate: a person, wearing orange with garland and shawl cues, shown receiving or presenting the shawl.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and a red cushion, smiling as a man in a white shirt and white dhoti drapes him with a long garland of white, pink and red flowers. On the left, two men in white clothes stand near a stack of books and a silver tray holding petals; one wears a rudraksha mala. On the right, a man in orange robes with a wrap stands with hands joined in greeting. The setting is a plain cream-walled room. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron robes, rudraksha and a garland, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, presented as being honoured on a throne.

A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a white and red flower garland, on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, smiling as a man in a cream kurta bends forward to touch or greet his hand. Two men in white attire stand nearby; a man on the left wears an orange shawl over white clothes. Behind the throne, gold lamps and red-orange draped fabric frame a deity murti decorated with yellow and orange flower garlands. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and wears orange clothing with garlands and a cream-coloured fabric beneath; the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the identification is uncertain.

A seated figure in orange saffron robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an orange upholstered throne-like chair before a gold-trimmed shrine decorated with marigold garlands and brass lamps. A man in a blue polo shirt and khaki trousers bends forward to offer something from a tray, clasping the seated figure's hand. To the left, a bald man in white dhoti and orange shawl and another man in white stand near orange drapes. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and wears distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues consistent with the page's a person reference, but the appearance is not conclusive, so the identity is uncertain. Offering plates and red flowers sit on the altar.
