Indoor photo of a seated figure with long dark hair in an orange-brown wrap on a red-cushioned seat, beside a gold-and-silver ceremonial staff topped with a gold carved finial. Two shaved-headed men in dark orange-brown robes stand behind a red tray holding offerings, one wearing a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style bead garland. Three men in ordinary street clothes stand on a patterned carpet: one in an all-white shirt and trousers smiling, another in a white striped shirt, and an older man in a striped shirt. Red fruit or offerings are visible in hands. The seated figure's identity is not established by visible cues alone.

Group photo indoors in front of a dark curtain with floral garland arches in red, yellow and white. Six men stand in a row. He stands beside a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holding a red fruit, and a man in a striped shirt holding a red item. A man in a dark shirt stands at left, another in a green shirt behind, and a man in a white striped shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at right. A silver deity figure and a tiger-striped seat with gold trim are visible behind the group.

A photograph inside a marble-walled hall showing a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-adorned gold necklace, wearing a red-and-gold headband, seated on a red cushioned throne with gold carved armrest. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand before him; the foremost holds a long gold staff and the other holds a red-and-orange bundle with an orange ribbon, while a box rests on a low white stand. Another man in white stands at right with a rudraksha mala, and a person in orange robes is partly visible behind. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure include saffron clothing, a ceremonial gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, so this is a person in person seated in a throne-like seat receiving ceremonial items from attendants.

A group photograph of six men standing in a row in front of a floral backdrop of red, yellow, white and purple garlands with a deity murti at the left edge. Second from right, a man with long swept-back hair wears a rust-orange robe, a heavy gold necklace, gold bangles and a rudraksha mala, with a gold waistband; this appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues and he is the central figure. Other men wear striped and white shirts, a white dhoti-style outfit, and a dark shirt, and one holds a red fruit. A tiger-skin cushion sits at the lower right and a gold-framed seat behind the group.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushion, wearing an orange saffron robe, long dark hair, and a beaded necklace, smiling. Chrysanthemum and marigold garlands in red, orange and white decorate the throne and the backdrop. A kneeling man in white clothes and a white-haired head, with a garland around his neck, bows and cups the seated figure's bare feet in his hands. Standing beside them, a man in white dhoti and shirt with folded hands, a man in a white shirt and glasses with folded palms, and other men in white and saffron clothing watch. A man in saffron clothing holds a silver vessel. A kumkum-marked padapuja-style honouring is taking place. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and beaded necklace, and is in person.

A photograph of an indoor audience scene. A figure in orange and saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with a golden lion-head armrest and a tiger-skin cushion, leaning forward as an older man in white shirt and white dhoti, with glasses and a grey beard, reaches out to touch the throne-seated figure's hand. Seated in red chairs to the left are men in white and dark clothes listening. Behind the throne stands a deity murti draped in garlands of orange, yellow and purple flowers, with two standing men in white dhotis and rudraksha malas beside a standing figure in orange robes and a shaved head. A wall-mounted air conditioner and a red-carpeted floor complete the room.

A photograph inside a temple hall with a gilded, ornately carved golden throne at centre. A shaved-headed, bare-chested figure in orange cloth and a dark rudraksha mala sits on the throne, with a red cushion beneath him. A woman on the left wears an orange sari, a gold headband and beaded necklaces, and holds a silver vessel. A man in an orange robe and a gold necklace stands behind the throne, and a white yak-hair chamara fan is raised above. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand and kneel around the throne, one kneeling to touch the base of the throne. An orange saffron flag hangs at top left and an orange arched doorway glows at top right.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white-and-red flower garland and rudraksha beads sits on a golden throne with a golden lion-head armrest, smiling and resting his hands on a white cloth. Before him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds out a basket of fruit and sweets wrapped in cellophane, while another man in white leans forward to receive it. Behind them a priest in white with a bare chest and rudraksha mala stands near a deity murti decorated with a multicoloured flower garland and gold ornaments. Other men in white and saffron stand in the background against red curtains.
