A photograph of an indoor room with reddish-brown tiled floor and plum-coloured walls. A man in a saffron-orange kurta with a matching dhoti-style lower garment and red-bordered cloth walks barefoot toward the camera with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind him in the doorway at left, a second man in orange clothes stands barefoot with hands folded. A carved wooden room divider, a black speaker on a stand, potted palms and a flower arrangement fill the background, with a white-draped table at right.

A photograph of a standing man in a stage setting, barefoot on a grey carpeted platform, with palms pressed together in namaste at chest level. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and a white vibhuti marking with a red dot on his forehead. Behind him are a black drape, a dark blue ramp, a white wall and a green potted plant at the left edge. The page describes a Shiva Sutras discourse at the Vedic Temple in Los Angeles in November 2007, and the person's appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala.

A man stands on a staircase with a wooden handrail and ornate gold-and-black wrought-iron balusters, pressing his palms together in namaste. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and a white vibhuti marking with a red kumkum dot on his forehead. He smiles and looks upward. Behind him is an orange wall and a blue wall panel. A partially visible person in blue stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) appears as the person in orange, based on the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and long hair; the appearance cues are moderately distinctive but this is not a confirmed identification.

A standing man in saffron-orange robes waves his right hand in greeting outside a brown wooden door set in a red brick wall under a corrugated metal roof. He wears a red bindi, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and dark sandals on a green mat beside a potted palm. The figure has long dark hair swept back and wears a draped orange shawl over the robe.

A photograph of a man in a flowing saffron-orange robe standing in an open doorway of a house, with long dark swept-back hair and a multicolour flower garland with a tassel draped over his shoulders. His hands are clasped in front and he looks to his left. Two red wooden double doors frame him. Behind him, a white-pillared veranda shows a man in white clothes carrying a red tray, and a seated person in white is partly visible at the left edge. The interior has white walls, marble floors and a framed picture on the right wall. The man in saffron has long hair, a garland and orange clothing, matching the page's Swamiji flag, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person.

A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a grey concrete step in front of an orange-painted building with a doorway behind him. He wears an orange robe draped over the body and a sleeveless orange garment, with a long golden bead necklace, and has long dark hair falling loose. His palms are pressed together in front of his chest in anjali mudra, and he looks off to the side. A white and red tilak marks his forehead. A blue plastic chair stands at the right edge of the step.

A photograph of a bare-walled white interior room with a pale marble floor, a small wooden stool holding a white item, and white curtains beside a tall wooden door. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a large pink-and-white garland around his neck, stands barefoot in the open doorway, smiling. Another man in white clothing stands partly behind him in the doorway. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a garland matches the candidate cues, and he is physically present, so the appearance-based label applies. Green leaves are visible through the outer doorway.

A standing man in full orange saffron robes wraps the drape over one shoulder and waist, with a red bindi on his forehead and a heavy gold beaded necklace with a central gold pendant. He raises his right hand in a blessing or greeting gesture while his left hand rests at his hip, against a brown wooden door set in a red brick wall, with a potted palm at the right edge and a green mat with bare feet at the bottom. The appearance is a long-haired man in saffron clothing with distinctive adornments, which is a compatible presentation with a person cues, but the photo shows only one person with no explicit name, so identity is uncertain.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra and eyes gently closed, in a namaskar greeting. He wears a saffron-orange shawl-style garment draped over the body and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, plus a gold bangle on his wrist. A red bindi and white tilak marks show on his forehead. Behind him are a red velvet curtain and a bank of yellow and pink flowers, with a white panel at left. Appearance-based identification is probable: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace on a stage setting consistent with a person presence, with the figure acting as a devotee-style greeter in a satsang-like setting.
