A indoor home setting with a white sofa where a figure in orange robes sits centrally, wearing a red and yellow beaded garland and holding a white tray with a small red object. Around them, devotees in orange and red saris and white shirts lean in with hands extended toward the tray. A green chair, curtains and a desk with a monitor are visible in the background, and a figure in orange stands at the upper left edge.

A photo of a seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair, hands pressed together in namaskar, sitting on a white-draped peetha or throne in a room decorated with marigold garlands and green leaf strings. A tray of red fruit and offerings sits on a red-draped table at left. Around him, devotees sit and kneel in foreground: women in saris of green, orange, red and blue, a man in white with a shawl, and women with hair pulled back. A framed portrait hangs on the wall at upper left and floral curtains frame the window. The man's appearance with long hair and orange robe is a probable match for a person, seated in a darshan setting.

A photograph in a plain room with pale yellow walls and a tiled floor. A long-haired person in a saffron-orange garment with a gold necklace sits on a zebra-striped throne chair and extends a foot toward a seated elderly woman in white clothes and glasses, who has her hands clasped. Standing nearby are a young man in a white kurta and a woman in an orange sari with a maroon border, with a bald man in white seated at the left edge and another figure at the right. The scene suggests a padapuja-style foot-honouring ritual; a brass pot sits on the floor near the throne. The person on the throne matches the a person cues of long swept hair, saffron clothing and gold ornaments.

A photograph inside a home with wall shelves lit from within, displaying small figurines and a red clock. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a white and green flower garland, sits barefoot on a cream sofa while a woman in an orange-and-cream sari bends forward to offer him fruit from a tray. A younger white-clad man with a yellow shawl kneels behind holding the fruit tray, and a woman in a light blue salwar kameez stands at the left edge. The seated man in orange with long hair and a flower garland resembles the Swamiji candidate, a probable match from his saffron clothing, long hair and garland, presented in a devotional house-visit setting.

Indoor photograph in a plain room with cream walls, a bright window with white sheer curtain on the left, and a white cloth draped over a chair. A woman in an orange saffron sari with long dark hair sits on the chair, held in an embrace by a woman in a maroon and pink floral sari with a white flower in her hair. Behind them another person in orange stands. On the right a man in a white shirt stands, and a bearded man in white kurta sits on the floor, with a seated man in white at lower left. Scattered flower petals lie on the tiles, consistent with a puja or ceremonial setting. No candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the seated figures are described by role only.

A seated figure in an orange sleeveless garment with long dark hair sits on an orange cushioned seat, reaching forward to touch the feet of a man in white shirt and white trousers who bends low. A woman in a cream-and-pink sari with grey hair stands behind him, and a small child in a red outfit is near. Around the room, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a young man in white with an orange shawl and beaded necklace stand watching, and others in white and patterned clothes are present. A framed picture hangs on the left wall, and a red and gold tray with a brass item sits beside the seated figure.

Indoor photo in a bright room with white tiled floor, a glass-fronted bookshelf and a wooden side table. A long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe with a red-and-orange floral shawl sits on a white cushioned sofa, smiling and extending a hand toward a man in a striped light-blue shirt and jeans who bends forward to receive a garland or rudraksha item. Several standing onlookers watch, including a man in a pale pink shirt with an ID badge, a man in white with glasses, and a woman in a pink kurta with a smiling expression. Small offerings and a flower are on a rug and table.

A photograph of an indoor home visit in a living room with cream walls, a black leather sofa, a wall clock-style decoration and a ceiling fan. A woman in a red sari with white floral print and gold bangles stands holding a small red object, offering it to a seated person wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless top and a white garland with red flowers, whose long dark hair falls down the back. The seated person sits on a cream and gold patterned cloth. Behind them, a man in white with an orange-red shawl stands smiling, and several women in saris and salwar kameez stand along the wall, including a young woman in red and a girl in a maroon outfit at the left edge.

Photograph of a small plain room with cream walls and a window with grille. Five framed portraits hang high on the wall, including a Shiva lingam image and several saintly figures with halos. A woman in orange robes sits cross-legged on a white cushion on a maroon floor mat, hands folded. Four people stand facing her: a man in a white checked shirt at left foreground, an older man in a cream shirt, a bald man in orange robes with a maroon-edged shawl at right, and a second man in orange with a garland of red flowers. Cushioned bench seating lines the walls.

A photo of a living room where a woman in an orange saffron sari-style wrap sits on a cream and gold sofa, wearing a marigold garland and a red bindi, hands folded in her lap. In front of her on a patterned red floral rug, a white cloth cushion lies on the floor. A standing man in a white checked shirt with his back to the camera faces her with hands joined, while an older man in white shirt and white dhoti stands with palms pressed together. A woman in a cream and beige sari with a braid stands on the right, and a person in orange and white stands at the far right edge. On the table beside the sofa is a red tray with offerings of sweets and a garland, and a wooden cabinet and framed floral painting are on the walls.
