A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back black hair, receiving an offering from a man in white and a woman in white with a rudraksha-style mala, pressing palms together in greeting. The seated figure, a person by cues of long hair and saffron robes, sits on an ornate gold and red throne before a backdrop of marigold and mixed flower garlands, with an orange and white flower arrangement in front. Two physical people are visible, with a third partly visible at the right edge.

Indoor event photograph. A seated man in long saffron-orange robes with a red undershirt and long swept-back dark hair, with a red and white tilak on his forehead, sits on a red patterned cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold-leaf backdrop bearing a deity relief. He smiles and holds his palms together toward an older man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, who kneels and clasps his hands. Yellow and red marigold garlands and a bouquet of pink carnations and purple orchids decorate the stage. A second saffron-robed attendant stands at the left edge.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.

A photograph of an indoor stage event. On the right, a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with a red bindi sits on a red cushioned throne before an ornate gold backdrop with a carved golden deity relief. His eyes are closed as he rests one hand on the shoulder of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who kneels beside him, his palms pressed together in reverence. Yellow and red flower garlands and a bouquet of purple orchids and pink carnations frame the scene, with green foliage behind. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a bindi, receiving devotion from a devotee in white.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a bare left shoulder, a black thread necklace and long swept-back hair sits on a red velvet throne cushion, receiving a palm-to-palm gesture from an older man with grey hair in a white kurta and rudraksha-style necklace who holds a small white paper. A woman in white with a dark bun and gold nose stud kneels beside him. Behind them are gold deity murtis draped in red, pink and yellow garlands. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man: long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe and black thread necklace, seated on a throne in the ritual setting.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a bindi and long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. He wears a heavy silver-toned ceremonial necklace and raises one hand in blessing toward a woman on the right, who wears white and presses her palms together in namaste. Flower garlands of yellow and red blossoms decorate the throne. A man in a red shirt stands at left with his head bowed. The figure is a person by appearance cues, but the page does not confirm his presence.

A photograph of two men in a flower-decorated setting. On the left, a man with grey hair wears a white kurta and a rudraksha mala, kneeling forward with his hands extended and touching a cupped gesture toward the other man. On the right, a long-haired man in an orange-red robe sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned seat, palms pressed together, smiling. Behind them are a gilded ornamental backdrop, a garland of yellow and red flowers, green bamboo leaves, and a bouquet of white lilies and red roses.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala draped over his chest, with a red tilak on his forehead, extending his hand forward as a devotee in a white shirt with an orange shawl bends toward him to receive a blessing. Behind them stands a shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl, and a cameraman is visible at the left edge. In the background a golden altar holds a deity murti in orange cloth with a garland of marigolds and white flowers, flanked by brass lamps and kalasha-style vessels. The setting appears to be a temple sanctum for darshan.

Photo of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, placing a hand on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers with a rudraksha-style mala. A gilded ornate throne with a carved golden backrest and red velvet cushions stands behind them, beside a bouquet of purple orchids, pink carnations and white flowers. A standing attendant in orange and white is at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron ornate-style robes and sits on a gilded throne, which together form the qualifying cues. The older man is a devotee receiving a blessing.
