A photograph of a smiling man with a shaved head wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, heavy rudraksha malas and gold ceremonial necklaces, gold armbands, a white vibhuti band and red bindu on his forehead. He extends his right hand toward a row of devotees with folded palms, including an older woman with grey hair and white flower in her plait and a woman in a pink saree. Behind him a priest in saffron holds a silver tray, and a red curtain and silver drape form the backdrop.

A smiling man with swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a tilak stands bare-chested in an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, wearing heavy gold bead necklaces, gold bangles and an upper-arm band. He raises one arm in a blessing gesture toward a row of devotees. In the foreground, devotees with folded hands in namaste, one wearing an orange-and-white sari, stand near the blurred figures of others in white clothes in a hall. The distinctive long hair, saffron cloth and rudraksha-style gold adornments make this a probable Swamiji in person, giving blessing to devotees during satsang.

A photograph inside a hall with pink walls, ceiling lights and a dark red curtain backdrop, where a smiling man in a rust-orange wrap and dense gold necklaces with a large gold pendant and a red-and-white flower garland raises one palm in greeting. A devotee in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala and a white tilak on his forehead stands with hands folded in namaste toward him. Other people, some in white dhotis and saris, stand around in the background, and the golden throne-like structure sits at the front.

A smiling man in an orange-brown robe stands at the centre, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a thick red and white flower garland, a multi-strand gold necklace with a large gold pendant, gold bangles and a red bindi with white vibhuti on his forehead. Several devotees with folded hands bow toward him at left, including an older man with grey hair, and women in white saris stand in the background beside a glowing golden shrine and lit displays in a hall with a drop ceiling.

A man in a rust-orange sleeveless robe stands at the right, smiling and raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears layered gold necklaces, a long rudraksha mala, gold armlets and a gold pendant, with a red dot on his forehead and white markings. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in white robes and a man with a yellow tilak on his forehead stand with hands folded. At the left, a bespectacled man in orange bows his head. Behind them, a red-and-gold canopy hangs over a gold-framed deity murti on a colourful shrine backdrop with ornate pillars.

A smiling person stands in the foreground wearing a maroon-brown unstitched wrap over bare shoulders, draped with a large garland of red, white and yellow flowers and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces with pendants, plus a gold armlet and gold earrings, with a vertical tilak on the forehead. Behind them, several devotees stand in a temple hall: a woman in orange sari with a rudraksha-style mala, a woman in cream and gold sari with a red shawl, and men in white and maroon. A tripod-mounted camera stands at right and a glass railing lies in front. Whether this person is the a person candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so a person is set to unsure.

A photo inside a hall with red curtains and a golden throne-like seat at the back. On the right, a man in a rust-red dhoti-style garment and a heavy gold bead necklace raises his right palm in blessing while smiling; he has a red tilak and a red flower in his hair. Before him a boy in a white shirt and a man in white shirt bow with hands folded, and a man in a white dhoti stands nearby. Two men in orange-brown robes with shawls stand at the left edge. Several people in saris and white clothing watch from the background, along with a sitting figure beside a golden seat. The scene suggests darshan and blessing during a satsang-type gathering.

A photograph of a saffron-robed sannyasi with swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and layered rudraksha mala necklaces with silver pendants, raising one hand in greeting toward a man in white clothes at left. Other saffron-robed monastics stand behind and beside him, one in the background wearing a rudraksha mala, and a bald monk at right. A maroon curtain with yellow and red tassels hangs behind them. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, shown by his distinctive long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, and rudraksha malas. Five people are visible, counting partially visible ones at the edges.

A smiling man in saffron-orange ochre robes stands at centre, raising his right arm to bless a devotee's head.

Other saffron-robed men stand behind him, and devotees in white and yellow clothing with folded hands receive the blessing in the foreground. A purple curtain and a pillar with coloured bands form the background.
