A seated figure in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged on a mat in a doorway, with long dark hair, a white tilak on the forehead, a rudraksha mala and a white pendant necklace, and white cloth bandaging on the upper left arm. Behind and beside him, three devotees stand with hands in anjali mudra: a man in a blue shirt and white dhoti, a woman in a green sari with a red border and gold bangles, and an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. A sliding glass door and a curtain frame the scene, with small items on the mat in front.

A photograph taken at a doorway of a home, showing a seated figure in orange-saffron robes with rudraksha mala beads and a pendant, hands pressed together in prayer, with white paste markings on the forehead and arms. Behind him stand three people: a man in a light blue shirt and white dhoti, a woman in a green and maroon sari with gold bangles and folded hands, and an older man in a cream kurta and white dhoti with hands raised in prayer. Floor covered with flower petals and offerings. Appearance-based label: a person for the seated figure in saffron with rudraksha malas and ornate pendant; he is performing prayer. Glass sliding door and a camera date stamp appear on the right.

A photograph taken at an open sliding doorway shows a seated man in an orange saffron robe with a white tripundra mark on his forehead and rudraksha mala necklaces, reading from an open book over a small fire pit with flames and offerings beside him. Behind him, three people stand in the doorway with hands folded in prayer: a young man in a light blue shirt and white dhoti, a woman in a dark green sari with a red border and gold bangles, and an older man in a cream shirt and white dhoti. Brass plates with fruit and a coconut sit on the floor nearby. The man in orange has distinctive long hair, mala necklaces and saffron clothing, matching the page's Swamiji cues, so he is labelled a probable identification.

A photograph of a home interior where a long-haired man in a flowing orange robe kneels on a floral cloth beside a sliding glass door, his hands working over a silver tray. Two seated devotees face him from the foreground: a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti seen from behind, and a woman in a green sari with a red blouse. The tray holds a brass oil lamp, a small brass bowl, a silver plate with a green leaf, and pink flowers on a leaf plate. A white bowl, a box, a telephone and a fan sit nearby, and a brass lamp stand is at the left edge.

A small plain room with off-white walls. A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron garment with a yellow-orange beaded necklace sits cross-legged on the floor at left, gesturing with one hand toward two women standing at right. The woman in the centre wears a mustard-gold sari with a red bindi; the woman at right wears a red sari with a pink-and-gold border and holds a folded cloth. On the right, a metal shelf holds a brass oil lamp, a small bottle, and purple garlands hang along the edge. Metal bowls and a pink cloth lie on the floor near the seated figure.

A photograph taken at an open doorway in a light blue-walled hallway. A man in orange clothing and an orange turban, with a white flower garland and rudraksha mala, stands in the doorway with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind him another man in orange holds a tray. On the right, a man in orange robes holds a brass tray with a decorated container. A woman in a cream sari with orange border smiles nearby, and a person in a yellow-gold sari bends down in front of the doorway. The orange-robed figure in the doorway is an appearance-based a person with distinctive orange turban, garland and mala cues, though identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless top and a rudraksha mala stands at right with palms pressed together in prayer before a small table holding a brass tray with fruit and offerings. A pink cushioned seat with gold trim sits at the far right beside a green banana plant. In the foreground, a woman with a red bindi and a bald man in glasses are seated, and a bald man in a white dhoti kneels in the doorway behind them, with other seated devotees in the background. The walls are terracotta-coloured and an incense haze fills the inner room. Swamiji (probable): the standing man in orange with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala is the central figure.
