A photograph of an indoor sitting room with cream walls, a brown carved wooden room divider, and a framed sign reading "eN Sacred Arts" beside a bronze dancing Shiva statue. A seated figure on the left wears a long red-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and holds a newspaper, appearing to be a sannyasi; the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to establish identity. Across the room, an older man in a cream shirt and white dhoti sits on a gold sofa gesturing while a younger man in white clothes sits beside him. Five other men in white shirts and dhotis sit on the right side, listening. A patterned rug covers the floor.

Indoor reception room with pale green walls, a ceiling fan, carved wooden room dividers and a brass Nataraja statue beside a glass cabinet. A long-haired man in saffron robes and rudraksha mala sits on a sofa, with a tray of fruit and a red bag beside him. Across from him a bearded older man in red and gold garments sits in an armchair, while seated men in white shirts and saffron garments listen in plastic and upholstered chairs. A vertical banner reading Sacred Arts stands behind them.

A photograph of a seated figure on a brown patterned sofa in a small room with pink walls and an orange-red floral curtain. The seated figure wears a gold-yellow shawl, orange cloth and a green leafy garland, and holds papers while speaking. An orange carpet and a leopard-print rug lie on the floor. Five men sit in plastic chairs facing the sofa, four in white dhotis and white shirts and one in a grey shirt and dhoti, some with hands folded. A mirror and framed picture hang on the wall behind. A figure with long swept-back hair and gold-yellow clothing on the sofa may be a person, seated in conversation with the men as a satsang or private talk. Total physical people visible: six.

A seated woman in an orange-red sari with a beaded orange-and-gold necklace sits on a bed with a yellow cover and a maroon cushion, holding open a small illustrated book or booklet. Before her, a man in white kurta and dhoti with a red-bordered shawl and a rudraksha mala kneels on a red patterned rug, reaching out to receive or show the book. Around them, standing men in white kurtas and malas hold papers, and a seated man in a striped white shirt sits on the rug. On the left, several people in saffron-orange robes sit with their backs partly toward the camera, one holding a phone. A red curtain hangs behind the bed, a white door is on the left wall, and a copyright overlay appears in the lower right corner.

Indoor living room photo. A long-haired person in a bright orange garment sits on a leopard-print armchair, leaning forward to offer a garland or flower necklace to a white-clad elderly man seated on a grey-patterned sofa. The elderly man wears white kurta and dhoti with a saffron-striped shawl and dark socks. Two men in white shirts stand and sit at right, one filming or photographing with a camera. A patterned red rug covers the floor. Behind them are carved wooden screens, a black banner reading Sacred Arts with a bronze Krishna flute figure, and a bronze Nataraja statue at right. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long hair and orange clothing, but appearance alone does not establish identity.

A seated meeting in a bright, plainly furnished room with cream walls, a ceiling fan, a wall air conditioner and red curtains. On a white-draped yellow sofa sits a long-haired figure in saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala, gesturing while speaking; a black cushion rests beside him. Around him, saffron-robed sadhus sit on chairs: one with a long white beard and rudraksha beads in the right foreground, others in orange dhotis and shawls. A man in a white kurta sits at left, and a standing young man in an orange wrap stands near the wall. A patterned red-and-brown rug lies on the floor, with a small table holding a flask. The clothing and the seated figure with long hair and rudraksha mala match the Swamiji cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.

A seated man in an orange-red robe with gold trim and a long gold-beaded necklace sits on a cream-coloured sofa in a room with a red curtain. He reaches out to receive a folded white paper from a kneeling man in white clothes. Around them, a bald man in orange and a yellow-scarved man sit in the foreground, while a man in a white shirt stands bending forward and another in white stands at the back. Several people are in white, and a small book lies on the seated man's lap. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears an orange robe, ornate gold necklace and long swept-back hair, the appearance of a Swamiji candidate receiving a document at a satsang. The white wall and door are visible at left.

A living room-style reception area with cream walls and white tiled floor. On a sofa at left, a man with long dark hair wears an orange robe and rudraksha mala and gestures while speaking. Beside him sits a man in an orange robe and mala, hands folded. On a cream sofa at right, a bearded man in a red robe with gold trim and a tilak gestures as he talks. A tray of fruit sits on a small table. Two men in white shirts sit in the foreground at bottom edge. Behind them a carved wooden folding screen, a sign reading 'eN Sacred Arts', and a bronze Nataraja statue with a flute-player figure in a glass cabinet.

A photograph of two men seated on cream sofas in a living room with a patterned red-and-gold rug, carved wooden room divider and a black banner reading "eN Sacred Arts" with a golden deity statue. The man on the left wears an orange saffron-coloured robe with a wrap, rudraksha beads and a red bindi, and smiles toward the camera. The man on the right has a long white beard, wears a red robe and a red shawl, and sits with hands folded. A small basket of fruit sits on a side table. Both appear to be seated for a visit. Two people are visible, plus a partial orange-clad figure at the left edge.
