Outdoor photograph beneath a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots, a man seated on a white-draped chair on bare earth, dressed in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a beaded necklace, hands folded in his lap, smiling. Probable Swamiji seated in the orange robe with long hair and beaded necklace as the presiding figure. Behind him, a standing man in white shirt and white dhoti stands near the chair, with a line of seated devotees in white clothes, several wearing rudraksha-style mala necklaces, some in red-striped shawls, sitting on the ground. A white-clad man at left holds a folded cloth. Roughly a dozen people visible, sitting and standing in a satsang-style gathering.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair sits on a white-covered cushioned seat with a patterned red and gold cloth, a wooden staff resting on a striped mat before him. Around him, devotees in white clothes and white-and-orange sashes stand and sit on the ground; a girl in a gold-toned dress with a small medallion sits in the foreground, and an older woman in a floral top sits at left. Some people wear rudraksha-style necklaces. Small colourful decorative items lie at the bottom edge.

Outdoor photo of a seated man in an orange robe meditating with eyes closed on a raised cushion over gravel ground. He wears a long gold-coloured bead mala and a red tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back dark hair. Beside him sits a man in white clothes with a dark rudraksha-style mala, eyeglasses and a wristwatch, hands resting in his lap. Behind them, several more seated people in white with yellow shawls meditate. An orange-painted shrine structure stands to the left, draped with white, yellow and red flower garlands, with a brass kalasha-style pot in the foreground and scattered red petals. Palm trees and green shrubs fill the background. The orange-robed figure matches the swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate mala beads, so the appearance is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in meditation at the shrine.

Photograph of a seated figure in the foreground, seen from behind and slightly to the side, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment and with long dark wavy hair falling past the shoulders. The figure faces forward toward a large seated audience in white and light clothing sitting on a open-air ground. A raised mat strip runs between the speaker and the audience. Behind the crowd are a yellow-orange wall, a tree and a red structure. The figure's appearance, long swept hair and saffron clothing, is consistent with the page's a person candidate, though the face is turned away and this is uncertain. The audience sits attentively, with many in white.

A photograph of an outdoor homa ritual on a dusty ground beside bare tree roots. A man seated on a carved wooden throne-like chair wears an orange saffron robe over white, has long swept-back hair and a tilak on his forehead, and gestures with his right hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Beside him, a younger man in a white dhoti and orange shawl sits cross-legged on a blue cloth with his hands folded. In front are a brass bowl of ghee-like offering, a ladle, a silver kalasha-style vessel, a small silver pot, a white cloth and a pink flower on a low stack of white bricks, which mark the ritual fire area. The seated man is a person in an appearance-based sense, with long hair and orange robes, while the younger man is a devotee and assistant.
