A stage event in front of an ornate golden backdrop with carved gold panels. On the right, a figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red robes with a multicoloured flower garland and gold bangles stands smiling and gesturing with hands pressed together. In the centre, an older bearded man with white hair and a white head covering wears orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a green-and-orange shawl, holding a small booklet. On the left, a man in an orange robe and shawl smiles while handing a booklet over. Other people in orange robes sit in the background and at the left edge, and a white-clad figure stands behind. The printed booklet cover shows a portrait. Swamiji (probable) is the right-hand figure in the rust-red turban, identified by the turban, flower garland, gold bangles and ceremonial robes, while the centre figure with the rudraksha mala is a devotee presenting the booklet.

A photograph in a carpeted hall with a golden ornate chair-back behind the group. A long-haired figure in rust-orange dhoti with gold-banded edges, wearing a heavy gold necklace and bangles, extends a folded yellow cloth to a shaven-headed monk in an orange cap and orange long robe. Several men in orange-brown robes with rudraksha malas and white tilak stand around, one holding his hands in greeting. A photographer in a green jacket stands at right. A deity murti sits in a niche at the back. The long-haired figure's appearance is consistent with a person, with long hair, gold necklace and ornate ritual dress, presenting the cloth in a welcome exchange.

Inside an orange-and-red tented pavilion, a man in an ochre-brown dhoti and wrap, with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold armlets, smiles while draping a long saffron-orange cloth over the shoulders of a devotee who bows forward. The devotee wears a grey shawl over a red garment. Behind them, a bald priest in a gold-necklaced saffron wrap and other people in white ritual dhotis and saris attend nearby. A silver trident, a ceremonial staff, a gold palanquin-style seat and brass vessels stand in the tent. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, rudraksha and ornate gold adornments is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seen in person, honouring the devotee with a shawl.

Evening ceremony under a white canopy at an ashram event. A man in a saffron-orange kurta with a saffron shawl and dark-rimmed glasses stands at left, reaching toward a bowl of fruit held by a long-haired figure at right wearing a red-orange dhoti and a thick red and orange flower garland, with a bare upper body and a smile. Behind them, a bald man in brown-red robes with rudraksha beads and a wristband speaks into a microphone while holding a red booklet, and another man in a white dhoti with a yellow shawl sits near the front. A gold and yellow flower-decorated throne with a heart-shaped backdrop stands at left, with gold and pink balloons and a red cloth nearby. The long-haired figure at right is a person by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron-red clothing and a garland, though the identification is appearance-based only.

Photograph of a devotee event in front of a bright orange and yellow backdrop with stylised flower shapes. A bearded man with a white vibhuti band and red kumkum dot on his forehead, wearing orange-saffron robes, stands at left smiling. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron robe with a red sleeveless top and long dark hair tied back smiles broadly and clasps hands at chest level. Behind them a man in orange clothing leans forward, and at right a red throne draped with white and pink flower garlands is visible. A woman's dark hair appears at the far left edge.

A photograph of a temple interior with ornate gold and carved decorative panels behind. A man in a saffron-orange turban and orange shawl, wearing spectacles and a trimmed grey beard, stands at left holding a flat package wrapped in plastic. Beside him a bald man in spectacles wears a maroon robe with a long beaded rudraksha-style mala. At right, a man with long dark hair and white forehead markings wears a rust-brown robe, a multi-strand beaded necklace, and a garland of orange and white flowers, gesturing toward the package with an open hand while a red cushioned seat and tiger-striped fabric are visible behind him. Another man in a white shirt and camera equipment appear at the edges.
