A photograph taken in a white-tiled entrance hall beside an open brown door leading to a red-roofed courtyard. A blue sign on the right lists photography, video camera, mobile camera and audio recording as strictly prohibited. In the doorway, a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded in greeting, while behind him an older bearded sadhu in orange wraps and a white-clad man with white hair move about. On the right, an older bearded man in an orange shawl and orange dhoti stands with his arms crossed. A man in orange robes stands at far left edge. Several other people in white and orange clothing are visible through the doorway.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a full beard stands in a doorway in an orange robe with a maroon border, hands pressed together in namaste and a small red mark on his forehead. Behind him, a group of people in white and cream clothing follow, including a woman in a white sari with a red-and-white border and a woman in a red-patterned sari. A banner on a red-curtained structure behind them shows printed text and a portrait. The doorway is beside a plain cream wall.

A photograph inside a plain whitewashed hall where people in white ritual clothes stand in two rows with palms pressed together in anjali. A figure in an orange-saffron robe walks down the central aisle with hands folded, toward a doorway where another man in white and a figure in light clothing stand. Plastic chairs line the right side, and a framed picture hangs on the wall at top right. Some attendees hold papers. The person in saffron has long dark hair and is walking away from the camera, matching the page's a person cue of a saffron robe with long hair, though the face is not visible and the appearance is uncertain.

A man with long dark swept-back hair stands barefoot in a hall with his palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a loose orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala around his neck. Seated participants in white clothes, partly visible at the left edge with hands folded, face him across a bare concrete floor marked by yellow lines. Another woman in a white sari with a dark shawl walks in the background before double wooden doors. A blue sign reads MAINTAIN SILENCE, SWITCH OFF CELL PHONES, CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS NOT ALLOWED, VIDEO-AUDIO & PHOTOGRAPHY PROHIBITED. A vertical banner reads BE BLISSFUL, and a wall caption in Kannada script sits above glass cabinets. The man's appearance fits the orange-robed, long-haired, rudraksha-mala cues of the candidate named on the page, so he is described as a probable Swamiji.

A brown double door opens inward in a whitewashed clinic corridor. A smiling figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks through the doorway with two saffron-robed attendants flanking him, one with a long beard and one shorter, both in orange. An older man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at the right with palms pressed together in greeting. A blue sign with Kannada and English text is partly visible on the right wall, and a white cloth valance hangs above the door. The central figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron and mala cues, consistent with a person, though the appearance is not certain.

A photograph of a doorway at an ashram-style building with orange wooden doors and a white tiled interior. Several people in orange and saffron robes stand in the entrance, with a bright outdoor courtyard beyond. A saffron-robed elder with a white garland walks in the centre, flanked by younger saffron-clad attendants, one wearing a white garland. A woman in a red and gold sari with her hair in a bun sits in the foreground, and women in white and pink saris stand with folded hands at the right. A brass pot with flowers stands at the left, and a camera operator is visible at the edge of the frame. Mango leaves are strung above the doorway.

A photograph of a long, narrow white corridor inside a building. A central figure with long dark hair, a red-orange vibhuti mark on the forehead, a dark rudraksha mala and an orange saffron robe walks forward barefoot in brown sandals. Devotees on the left in orange shawls and white clothes press their palms together in anjali. A woman on the right in white with an orange shawl also holds her hands together. Behind the figure a man in white dhoti and orange shawl walks. A standing fan, a red cabinet with gold ornamental panels and wooden crates with brass fittings sit along the right wall. A printed portrait-style name appears on the shawl worn by the right devotee.
