Indoor photograph of a man in an orange-red turban and rust-orange robe, with a long rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a gold earring, smiling broadly and raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. Beside him stands another man in an ornate gold-bordered white dhoti and a rudraksha mala. Behind them, a man in white clothing wearing a neck pendant stands among a few other attendees, and a seated figure in orange sits on a mat near a wall with a large framed temple-art backdrop. A projection screen and a camera on a tripod are visible in the room. The man in the turban is a probable Swamiji candidate based on his turban, orange robe and rudraksha malas, though the appearance is not fully certain.

Indoor photo of a festive gathering in a plain hall with cream walls, a wooden-framed window and orange cloth hanging from the ceiling. A man with long swept-back hair, a gold ornate necklace, gold armlets and a red-orange dhoti-style garment with gold border smiles broadly and gestures with an open hand toward a woman in a maroon sari with a flower in her hair. Around him, smiling men and women wear rudraksha-style beads, white tripundra marks on their foreheads, and red-orange garments. A man at left wears a red shawl and white shirt, and a bald man at right has white ash markings on his arm. The scene shows a relaxed, warm exchange among devotees.

Beside him a golden ceremonial object is visible. In front, a woman in a bright yellow shawl with a marigold garland and a bearded man in an orange turban and glasses embrace closely, the woman's hand near his face. Another figure in orange stands behind them, and a few people are partly visible at the edges. The setting is a bright indoor room with a plant at right.

A photograph of an indoor hall with a line of devotees greeting a central figure. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange turban with a gold ornament, a saffron-gold wrap, layered gold beaded necklaces and gold bangles, and he extends his hand in blessing as people approach. Devotees in white kurtas and dhotis stand with palms pressed together in namaste, one man wearing a red rudraksha mala, a boy in an orange shirt in front. Metal stanchions line the walkway, and a golden deity murti and a red-curtained stage appear in the background. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
