Outdoor photo on a bare dirt and grass field beside a silver SUV, with red-roofed buildings and trees behind. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold-toned sash, walking barefoot with hands folded. Several women stand to the right in saris and salwar kameez, palms pressed together in greeting: one in white with a yellow shawl, one in pink, one in orange, and a woman in a brown kurta with red trousers. A man in orange robes stands at the left beside the vehicle.

Outdoor photo on a dusty dirt ground with trees and a bush behind a wire fence. A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala beads and bangles, walks barefoot and looks ahead; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure in procession. Beside him a man in a white dhoti holds a tray of yellow flowers, and a woman in a blue sari carries a bag. Other devotees in white dhotis, shirts and a red-shirted boy stand around with hands folded, and a stone-coloured jacketed man stands at left. Several people are visible, roughly a dozen.

Outdoor photo on dry, bare ground at a rural site with a low concrete wall and houses behind. A man with long dark hair, bare-chested, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and wrap with a rudraksha mala, walks barefoot at the centre. To his right a man in white shirt and white trousers with a rudraksha mala gestures while speaking. Beside them a priest in white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded. At right, a man in saffron robe holds a brass tray of yellow flowers. Behind, a group of onlookers in cream and white saris and saffron clothing stands watching, including a woman in an orange shawl and a girl in a teal top.

Outdoor photo at an open dirt-ground campus with pink and gold draped tent fabric and a white canopy umbrella behind. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron shawl and mala beads stands at left, smiling and holding a tall orange flag pole, with a candidate a person appearance (probable) from his long swept hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha malas. Several people in white ritual clothes stand with palms pressed together in namaste; a man in white with a rudraksha mala and another in a white shirt with a badge also have hands folded. A few women in white saris with gold borders stand nearby.

Outdoor photo of a crowd standing on dry, bare ground near a building and trees. In the centre, a man wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder and a saffron-orange dhoti with gold-edged borders, with long swept-back dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and sandals; he stands with hands clasped, which is an appearance-based candidate for a person. Around him, men wear white shirts and white dhotis, one holding a tablet, women wear sarees including white and patterned ones, a girl wears a blue checked top, and an orange-robed figure stands at the right edge. About 15 to 20 people are visible.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron sannyasi wrap and a multi-strand rudraksha mala, with a tilak on his forehead, smiling and gesturing with open hands on a grassy field edged by trees. Behind him, several women stand in the field: one in a white sari with a yellow shawl, one in white with an orange shawl, and others in orange and white garments, one holding a white object. The long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha cues are distinctive, so the central man is a probable Swamiji in person.
