A photograph of a hall during a gathering, with a man in an orange-saffron cloth wrap standing on a raised area, long dark hair swept back, a small red mark on his forehead, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, forehead mark. Below him, the foreground is filled with many people in white head coverings and white clothes, seen from behind and partly blurred. Pale pink walls and a grey draped ceiling fabric frame the scene.

Indoor event photo in a hall with a blank projector screen behind the stage area. In the foreground a man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead and a saffron-orange shawl over an orange t-shirt, eyes closed and smiling, stands centre frame. Behind him people in white and dark clothing are clapping and gesturing with raised hands. On the left a seated man in sunglasses claps, and on the right a woman in a floral top holds a video camera on a tripod. Decorative painted wooden pillars with colourful patterns frame the room, and a brass lamp stands beside a table with flowers at the right edge. The long hair, saffron clothing and forehead mark are appearance cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable candidate in person.
