A standing figure in an orange-brown turban and a long wrap, wearing a multi-coloured flower garland and gold bangles, faces the camera with hands folded in front of the chest. The figure stands on the right beside a gold-carved throne with a lion-head motif. Around them, saffron-robed sannyasis with rudraksha malas stand and sit with palms pressed together. An older man in a light pink shirt and white dhoti stands centre, smiling, with a vermilion mark on his forehead. Nearby, a bearded man in white kurta, a man in white, a woman in a red and gold sari with jewellery and a girl in a pink dress watch the scene. Overall, about a dozen people are visible in the room.

Indoor event photo in a hall with cream tiled floor and red curtains. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulder and bare arm, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace with a large gold pendant, gold armbands and bracelets, smiles and extends his hand to an older man in a white shirt with grey hair and glasses who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. A young girl in a green dress watches beside them, and a crowd of men and women in white and orange clothes stands behind a chrome barrier line. A gold-canopied seat or throne is visible in the background. The long-haired man in saffron with distinctive gold ornaments matches the a person cues.

Indoor temple-hall scene with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban at lower left, wearing a gold necklace and extending a hand to a devotee who is bending forward to receive contact. Behind, a priest in saffron dhoti and orange shawl with rudraksha mala stands beside a white-clad woman. Standing men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with yellow or pink shawls, watch and clap. A decorated deity murti with marigold and yellow garlands stands at upper left, and red curtains hang on the back wall. The figure at lower left shows distinctive saffron attire, a turban and a gold necklace, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is treated as unsure.

A seated man in an orange turban and orange saffron wrap, wearing a rudraksha mala and a garland of pink and white flowers, smiles while receiving an offering from a hand held out by a man in white ritual dress with a gold-chained neck and white and gold cloth. Nearby an elderly man in white shirt and glasses bows and holds a small card, while a devotee stands beside a gold-and-red throne. Behind them red and orange decorations hang in a tented pavilion with a red carpet and religious banners. The seated figure's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and garland fits the page's Swamiji reference, though the identity is an appearance-based probable match.
