A night-time photograph outside a lit building with a stairway and railing. A smiling man in an orange robe wears a long white and red flower garland and is being touched on the head by a woman in a yellow-green floral sari who bends forward with her hands at his feet. A grey minivan is parked behind him. On the right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands beside another man in an orange robe who is turned away from the camera. A few people are visible in the background near a motorbike.

A night-time outdoor photo beside a dark silver van. A man in the centre wears an orange robe, a white shawl with a dark-bead necklace and a large marigold garland, and stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him a younger man in an orange robe and orange turban smiles. In the foreground a man in a white shirt looks toward the camera, and a long-haired sadhu in orange bends forward, his hands near the ground in reverence. A figure in a maroon and gold checked shawl sits at the lower right. On the far right a man in white with a rudraksha mala stands. Several other people in orange and white stand near vehicles in the background.

Night outdoor photo at a roadside gathering beside a dark car with its door open. In the centre, a long-haired figure with his back to the camera wears an orange robe edged with gold and a white flower garland, standing by the open car door. Around him, men in white dhotis and shawls, several shaved-headed, stand with palms pressed together in namaste, and a man in white kneels in the foreground. A man in white with a rudraksha-style mala holds a green banana leaf or plantain offering. Warm string lights and lamps glow in the background among onlookers. The orange-robed figure cannot be confirmed as a person from appearance alone, so no identification is made.

Night photograph outside beside a silver car with its side door open. A figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a long white flower garland with a maroon bead strand, stands at the vehicle. A man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward and places his hands on the garlanded figure's shoulders, while another man beside him holds a tray with flowers. Several men in white kurtas and dhotis stand behind with hands folded in anjali, and green-lit trees form the backdrop. The garlanded figure appears to be a sannyasi in saffron clothing rather than a clearly identifiable person; no appearance-based a person candidate is established with sufficient cues.

Night-time photograph outside a parked silver minivan with its side door open. A man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a dark rudraksha mala smiles and holds his hands together in greeting as he steps forward. Behind him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds up a long white and red flower garland, while another in white holds a tray. Several men in white clothes stand nearby with hands folded in namaste, lit by floodlights and green foliage. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, orange turban and rudraksha mala are visible cues of his presentation, and the page identifies this event as involving him, so the orange-clad man is recorded as a probable in-person candidate.
