A photograph of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe seated on a golden throne decorated with yellow and red flower garlands. He wears a long gold-and-bead necklace and holds up an open printed brochure with his left hand, while another man in white reaches toward it. In the foreground, two heads of onlookers are partly visible, one wearing glasses. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears an orange turban, saffron robes and a gold rudraksha-style necklace, cues consistent with the page's description.

A photograph of a seated man in orange-saffron robes with a long swept-back hairstyle, a red-brown headband, a heavy gold-bead necklace and gold earrings, smiling broadly on a gilded throne with a red cushion. Before him a man in white shirt and white dhoti with rudraksha malas holds up a framed gold-bordered picture of a saint in red headdress and garland, with printed Tamil text. Behind them a bald priest in orange robe and gold necklace, several men in white and onlookers stand in a stone-walled hall.

A photograph of a ceremonial honouring at a temple-style stage. A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne wears an orange saffron robe, a long green leaf garland with red and yellow flower garlands, and a white tilak on the forehead; he has long swept-back dark hair and holds a rudraksha mala in his hands. Two women stand before him: one in a gold-patterned sari with long braided hair, and another in a yellow top, with a white tilak, presenting a purple cloth and offerings. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shawl and a man in orange robes stand near a gold tray holding apples and sweets. A carved temple-style backdrop with green foliage and an ornate gold decorative panel completes the scene. The seated figure's distinctive hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are a person candidate.
