A photograph of a man with a shaved-looking short dark hairstyle, saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, a gold-and-bead necklace with gold beads and a thick red flower garland, and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he reads a folded white paper. Several men with folded hands stand in a line before him, one in a brown shirt and others in white and checked shirts, with a row of people behind them. At the right edge a robed attendant in orange holds a tray of red fruit and ritual objects. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, gold ornaments and a flower garland, and he receives devotees.

A photograph of an indoor event with a man in an orange-saffron robe, red and gold beaded garlands, gold ornaments and a dark mark on his forehead, holding a white printed sheet of paper and looking down at it. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange wears a white tilak stripe and a rudraksha-style necklace and smiles. An older man in a white shirt holds a small white paper and gestures toward them, while another man in a white shirt and a shaved-headed attendant in orange stand at the edges. A bare-shouldered orange-robed figure is seen from behind at the right. A dark red curtain and warm lights are in the background.

Photograph of a crowded indoor hall with devotees pressing forward. At the centre, a man in orange-saffron robes wears a dark rudraksha-style headband with a long swept-back hair knot, a thick white jasmine garland, and a beaded necklace and bracelets; he holds a folded white slip of paper and reaches toward a devotee. Beside him, a shaven-headed man in saffron robes with a gold-toned chain stands close. Surrounding people in white shirts and saris, some with white and orange clothing, look on with folded hands. A red-lined box with white flowers sits in the lower right foreground. Pillars with colourful patterns line the background wall.

A photograph of a satsang-style blessing. A man in an orange robe with a thick red and green flower garland, layered beaded necklaces, a gold pendant and a bangle reaches out and places his palm on the head of a devotee with short dark hair in a light blue shirt, who stands with palms pressed together. Several other devotees in white shirts and white dhotis hold their hands in anjali behind them, one wearing a dark rudraksha-style mala. The man in orange has a white tripundra mark on his forehead and smiles. Pink walls and a red-and-white painted pillar with a yellow motif frame the room, and another person with a white-marked forehead is at the right edge. The orange-robed figure is presented as a person by the page cues, though the appearance is only partly consistent with the description, so the identity is uncertain.

A photo of a ceremonial gathering inside a temple-like hall with colourful striped pillars. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a white and red flower garland, a gold ceremonial necklace and a pink silk garment with green border reads from a sheet of paper while holding it in both hands. An older man in a white checked shirt with a lanyard watches on the left, and a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right. Several other men stand behind. The central figure shows distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and pink-and-gold ceremonial dress, matching the page's Swamiji (probable) label for an in-person presence.
