A photograph taken in a covered, whitewashed veranda at dusk. A seated man in an orange turban, orange robe and orange sandals sits on an orange plastic chair, smiling, with a pair of orange-robed women standing before him with their backs partly turned to the camera; one has her hair in a bun with an orange ribbon. To the right a bald man in an orange robe with a rudraksha-style mala stands with his hands clasped, and two men in white stand behind, one in a white dhoti and shawl with a mala, and one in a white shirt with arms folded. Ripe yellow mangoes sit on a concrete bench at left, and a mat lies on the floor.

A photograph of a group standing under a shaded open structure with a white wall of lattice windows behind them. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a dark rudraksha mala and a saffron-orange robe with a gold-edged wrap is speaking and gesturing with one hand; the saffron-clad figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) and is present in person. To his left, a man in cream shirt and white dhoti points outward while speaking. To the far left, a woman in a white sari with an orange border and gold necklace stands with her hands clasped. On the right, a man in an orange robe with a red border and rudraksha mala stands with arms folded, and at the far right edge another man in a cream shirt and white dhoti is partly visible. Five people are visible.

A photograph inside a temple hall with pale yellow walls and carved grey pillars. A man with long dark hair in a saffron-orange robe stands centre, hands in anjali namaskar and smiling, with a saffron-clad attendant beside him. A bare-chested priest with a white tilak and a white dhoti with gold border stands at right, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti at left also has his palms pressed together. A camera operator's lens is visible at the far left. Pale marble flooring and small wooden stools are in front. Several people are visible in the scene.

A photograph of a white-walled doorway opening onto a room with a striped runner on the floor. A woman in an orange saffron sari with a gold border smiles broadly as she steps out of the doorway, one hand resting on the frame. To the left, a bald older man in a white half-sleeved shirt and white dhoti stands on the open ground holding a mobile phone and looking toward her. Behind her, several people in white and orange clothing are visible inside the room. Two blue plastic chairs sit against the right wall beside a wooden post.

A photo of a shaved-headed?-no: a man with long dark hair wrapped in a striped white and orange head cloth sits cross-legged on a concrete ledge under a corrugated roof, wearing a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulder. Nearby, a man in a white dhoti with a red-and-white checked shawl and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace stands beside a man in khaki uniform and another in a light shirt and dark trousers. Behind them, painted red, yellow and green pillars with white bird motifs support a striped canopy, with laundry, bags and shoes scattered on the floor and a steel vessel on the ledge. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji description on several visible cues, the saffron robe, long hair and head cloth, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in meditation-like repose.

A photograph of a doorway at a concrete building where a group of saffron-robed sannyasis and onlookers stand. In the centre, a figure with long dark swept-back hair and an orange sleeveless robe with a draped orange shawl gestures with one hand while speaking to a bearded sadhu in orange with a rudraksha mala. On the left, a bald older man in peach-coloured robes stands beside a man in a red shirt and blue lungi. On the right, another saffron-robed monk with long hair and a man in white stand nearby. The photo. a person cues are not clearly established for any single figure, so the subject identity is uncertain.
