Outdoor event hall decorated with a large pink lotus backdrop and hanging garland strings. A person in saffron-orange robes with a gold shawl and white and red flower garland sits barefoot on a white-draped platform scattered with rose petals, with long dark hair and a relaxed smile. Beside them, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala holds a microphone and papers and speaks, a green ribbon badge on his chest. A second man in white dhoti and shirt with a green ribbon stands nearby, and a crowd of white-clad devotees stands and sits behind them. Floral arrangement on a white pillar and potted plants frame the stage, and a striped mat lies on the floor.

A group photograph on a stage before a gold-framed throne decorated with white flower garlands and a golden crown-like top. A seated figure in orange robes with a golden shawl, a long white flower garland, orange-and-white ribbon and gold necklaces sits barefoot on a red cushion, one hand raised in greeting. Five people in white stand around the throne: three men in white dhotis and shirts on the left, one wearing a white shawl over a white kurta, and two women in white saris with gold borders and dark beaded malas on the right. A silver vessel and brass ritual items sit on a red patterned carpet in front, with fruit visible. A large backdrop with flowers and a pale fabric panel completes the setting.

A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in front of a golden throne decorated with yellow and white flower garlands and a purple-and-red floral arch. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange wrap, with a gold-bordered cloth and bare shoulders, stands centre and hands a white gift bag with gold motif to a man in white kurta and white dhoti who wears a rudraksha mala. Several men in white kurtas with rudraksha malas stand to the left and right holding similar white gift bags. A woman in orange and another in white sit in the background on a wooden-panelled stage. The appearance of the central figure matches the page label, so he is listed as a probable candidate.

A figure in a red-brown turban and saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy, seated on a red cushion. To the left, several men in orange and saffron robes with garlands sit on white sofas, including an elderly bearded man in orange with a garland. On the right, a man in a light blue shirt sits on a white sofa while a man in white dhoti with gold border stands holding a small object. A bald attendant in white with beaded necklace stands near the throne, and a deity image is visible beside the canopy.

Indoor satsang on a stage. A long-haired figure in orange robes and a multi-strand orange-beaded necklace sits in a large brown throne-style armchair with black carved trim, a microphone on a stand in front, hands resting on the robe. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure: long hair, saffron robes and ornate beaded necklace. To the left, a man in a white shirt with red-bordered shawl sits on a chair. Two elderly men sit to the right in orange shawls and white dhotis. Behind the throne are gold ornaments, a garlanded deity murti, and a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes wreathed with marigold and multicolour garlands. Blue draped curtains form the backdrop.

A photograph of an indoor room with beige tiled floor and white curtain at the left window. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange robes and a red bindi sits on a cushioned chair, smiling, with a pale white cloth draped over the chair. Beside him a standing man in orange robes with long hair and beard looks down. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis sit or stand near a brass plate of fruit and mango slices and a tray of pink and white flower petals, with a garland of white and pink flowers on the floor. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at right beside a monk in orange robes. Several people in orange robes and white clothing gather for a ritual visit. The scene shows a Bhoomi Puja-style offering of fruit, flowers and garlands.
