A photograph of a long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala descending a dark granite staircase beside a pale blue wall. The figure has a red tilak on the forehead and is smiling with eyes lowered, one hand gathering the robe. Behind, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow down the steps, and a rolled white shutter sits at the right. A probable Swamiji is visible, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, descending the stairs among his attendants.

A photo of a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark wavy hair and a rudraksha mala descending a grey marble staircase at a shop entrance. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls and a man in a white shirt follow down the steps, and a woman in a pink sari and others stand near a storefront draped with marigold and white floral garlands and bunting. A wooden pole rises at right beside a rolled shutter. A probable Swamiji is the figure in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala, shown descending the stairs, whose presentation carries the distinctive saffron clothing and mala cues. Other visible people include a devotee in an orange shawl and a bald older man in a white shirt in the foreground at right.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and multiple rudraksha mala beads walking down a set of dark stone steps, smiling, with a red bindi on the forehead. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shawls, descend the steps. At right, a man in a white shirt holds a white booklet with a red emblem, standing beside a metal pole and a rolled grey shutter. The wall at left is pale blue.

A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange draped garment walking down a stone staircase beside a cream wall, wearing a white and red flower garland with a rudraksha mala looped through it. He has long swept-back dark hair and looks downward while touching the garland with his right hand. Beside him, a smiling man in white kurta and white dhoti walks down the steps. Behind them, a woman in a teal sari stands on the stairs, and a green banana leaf hangs over the upper frame.

A man in a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and a long rudraksha mala walks at the entrance of a shop storefront strung with garlands of white, orange, pink and yellow flowers. He has long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, and his eyes are lowered. To his right, a woman in a red-bordered cream sari with gold bangles stands with arms folded, and a younger woman in a white sari watches beside her. A man in white shirt is partly visible at the left edge, holding a dark bag. Glass display cabinets and hanging shirts fill the background of this shop opening. Whether the saffron-clad man is a person is appearance-based only, so the label is probable.

A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi walks through a temple corridor, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a long garland of white jasmine and pink and red flowers, with a gold ceremonial necklace over it. Behind him a bald older man with a white beard in orange robes walks alongside. On the left, a carved gold-painted pillar and a rope-bound wooden beam; overhead, strings of red, purple and white flower garlands. Workers in orange shirts and a man in white shirt appear in the background, with piled sand on the floor. A light-green cloth hangs on the wall. Appearance-based cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and garland) are consistent with a person as the central figure, though this is an appearance-based label only.

A photograph of an office entrance being opened, with a long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala walking through the doorway, hands held together at the chest. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala. Behind him, an older man in white shirt and white dhoti walks in, and another man in white shirt carries a tray. The doorway is decorated with a green leaf torana and a strand of flower garland. Two or three onlookers in light clothing stand outside a barred window on the right. Bare white-tiled floor and pale walls.

A photograph of an outdoor temple-style event under a dark canopy decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and hanging bananas and coconuts. A man in the centre wears a saffron-orange robe, a long red-and-white flower garland and a gold necklace, and looks upward. Swamiji (probable) in the centre, distinguished by the long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial gold necklace. Around him, two saffron-robed attendants with long hair and red-banded clothing stand nearby, and several men in white dhotis and shirts with lanyards and tilak marks surround the procession. One attendant on the left wears orange with a red shawl. A trident-shaped object and a red-and-gold canopy appear in the background. Several men carry metal trays. A young child in blue stands at the left edge.
