At left, a standing man in a brown dhoti and gold necklace looks down beside a gold-coloured deity murti. Workers and a green wooden cart are visible in the background.

A photograph in a small backstage-style room with a painted jungle backdrop of large trees. A man with long swept-back hair, a bare upper body, rudraksha mala beads and an ornate gold necklace wears a saffron-orange wrap and is draping a bright orange cloth over the shoulders of a older man with grey curly hair and glasses who is dressed in orange robes. Behind them stands a man with long hair, a white-and-pink wrap, a red-and-gold necklace and a tilak mark, and at the right edge a bald man with a red forehead mark wears orange shawls. a person is the man with long hair and bare upper body, and the person receiving the orange cloth is a visiting leader; the scene shows a ceremonial honouring of a guest.

Indoor photograph in a room with light walls and grey floor. Five men in saffron-orange robes stand in conversation. On the left, a bald-headed man in a loose orange wrap stands near a wooden display case holding a gilded deity murti. Behind him, a second man in orange stands by the glass cabinet. In the centre, a man in orange clothing with a shaved head gestures, and beside him an older man in orange with a shaved head holds his hands together. On the right, a man with long dark hair and a red-bordered orange robe gestures with clasped hands while speaking. Glass cabinets on the right display ornate jeweled necklaces and ceremonial silver ornaments. A small shrine with brass and coloured figures sits at the far left.

A photograph of a seated group in orange robes in an indoor hall with a yellow curtain and white pillars behind them. On the left, a man with swept-back dark hair, a white flower in his hair and a tilak on his forehead sits on a black leather chair in an orange-and-yellow shawl and orange dhoti, with a long beaded necklace and a gold pendant, gesturing with his hands as he speaks. Opposite on the right, a man with a shaved head and an orange head covering sits on a chair, one hand raised to his chin, listening. Two younger seated men in orange garments and garlands sit on a green mat, one holding a phone and a notebook. A standing man in an orange-and-yellow dhoti is partly visible at the back, with a tripod in the corner. Swamiji (probable): the man on the left matches the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, flower adornment, orange clothing and gold-beaded necklaces, and is seated as the speaker of the group.
