A photograph at an evening darshan where a man in an orange turban and sleeveless orange top with long dark hair leans forward and reaches out his hand toward a small toddler in a beige dress held by a man in glasses and a white shirt. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, orange turban and orange robe match the page's identification, and he is the central figure receiving devotees. Around them, older men in white shirts and a man in a light blue shirt watch closely, a woman in white with orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands at left, and a tray with coloured gifts and a red box sits at lower right. Orange hangings and a few onlookers fill the background.

A photograph of a temple darshan setting. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair, a white forehead mark and an orange sleeveless robe smiles and reaches toward a devotee. Beside him, a man in an orange robe with a striped orange and maroon shawl leans forward and holds the end of an orange cloth. Devotees in white and striped shirts crowd at left, one holding a small phone. Behind them, a man in a yellow shawl stands near a metal grille, and a bald man in white stands in the background. At right, a deity murti is adorned with garlands of yellow and purple flowers and a pearl necklace. The orange-robed centre figure has distinctive long hair and orange attire, so this is an appearance-based a person candidate present in person.

Photograph of a man in a saffron sleeveless top and orange shawl, with a red bindi and white vibhuti marks, smiling as he places both hands on the head of a child wrapped in a white knitted sweater and white cap. A man in a white shirt stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste, and onlookers stand behind. A colourful painted pillar and a decorated shrine with deity images are visible in the background. The man in saffron is a person by appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a shawl, performing a blessing (darshan) of the child.

A photograph of a public darshan line at an open-sided hall with a corrugated roof. A man with long swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti tripundra on his forehead, rudraksha malas and a saffron-orange sleeveless garment is smiling broadly and placing his right hand on the head of a boy in a green-and-white striped shirt who leans forward. Another devotee in a white shirt stands at left with hands extended, and other people in the crowd are behind a metal railing. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas) is blessing devotees in a darshan line. Several other people in white and light shirts are visible along the railing.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange sleeveless garment and multiple rudraksha malas, places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a dark t-shirt who is held up by an adult at left. A red tilak is on the man's forehead. Behind them, a man in white with a striped shawl and a shaved head with white markings stands near other people with hands joined in namaskar, and an orange drape and a gold-and-colored decorated backdrop are visible. The scene appears to be a blessing given in a gathering. Swamiji (probable) cues: long hair, saffron garment and rudraksha malas, here shown giving a blessing to the child.

A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a gold necklace and a gold-tipped staff beside him, cradles a baby in a yellow-and-pink patterned outfit while touching the baby's head. A young boy in a brown jacket leans in with hands together, and a woman in a white sari with gold border smiles nearby. Surrounding devotees in orange robes, white saris and a seated woman in a pink-and-white sari look on at what appears to be a children's blessing at the event. Seated on an orange-draped throne with a zebra-print cushion. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, gold necklace, ceremonial staff.

A seated figure in an orange turban and orange sleeveless top, with long dark hair, places a hand on the head of a small boy in a white and beige striped shirt at a darshan. Around them, men in white kurtas, a man in a grey striped shirt, and a man with a white mustache and orange shawl stand close, some with hands on the boy's shoulders. Orange fabric and an out-of-focus orange backdrop fill the background.

A photograph of a darshan-style blessing in an indoor hall. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with layered gold and bead necklaces, bare-shouldered, places both hands on the head of a devotee who is bending forward. Crowd members stand close around, including a man in a white dhoti holding a small child in a green shirt, a bald man in white with a rudraksha mala, and a monk with a shaved head and orange wrap at right. A videographer with a camera stands at upper left, and framed portraits hang on the wall behind. The orange-robed figure has long swept hair and distinctive adornments, consistent with the a person candidate. Approximately six to twenty people are visible.
