A photograph taken indoors in a plain room with a grey wall and a wall of framed small photographs behind the group. A young man on the left wears an orange turban, orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, smiling and gesturing. Beside him stands a bald man in a light orange-peach robe with a shawl draped over the shoulders, gesturing with open hands. Behind them a bespectacled man in a white dhoti and white shawl stands, and at right a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala holds a white foam takeaway box. Water bottles and a bag sit on a table at the bottom of the frame. The a person identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the depiction is treated as uncertain.

A photograph of an indoor room with pale walls and a wooden cabinet. A figure seen from behind on the left wears an orange dhoti and shawl, a gold and red bead necklace, and a dark bun, and clasps hands with a man in orange. Two men in orange and saffron robes with orange head coverings stand behind, one with hands folded. The man on the right in an orange robe and orange cap holds a dark-covered book and leans in. A low table holds small brass bowls, a cup, and printed booklets.

A photo in a hotel-style hall with a banner behind. A man in a bright orange turban with a blue rosette, orange shawl and layered gold-and-bead necklaces stands on the right, smiling, with long swept-back hair and a red bindi; he extends one hand toward an older bald man in orange robes at left, who holds his palms together in greeting. Two young men in white dhotis with rudraksha malas stand at left, and several onlookers in white and light shirts stand behind. The room is crowded with a background banner partly visible.

A photograph of four men standing in a plain room with cream walls, a small wooden side table, a sofa with a floral cushion, and a bed behind. On the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a multicoloured sash over his shoulder, holds a brass bowl. Next to him, a man in an orange robe with an orange and gold shawl and an orange turban holds a tall brass kalasha-style vessel. Beside him stands a man with long dark hair, wearing a sleeveless orange robe and a red tilak on his forehead, hands clasped in front. On the right, a shaved-headed man in an orange robe with maroon borders gestures toward the group. A water bottle sits on the table and a red rug lies on the floor.

Photograph in a hall at night showing a long-haired man in saffron-orange unstitched robes and a rudraksha mala, hands in a gesture of address, standing before two men in white shirts with palms pressed together in namaste; one has a lanyard and gold bracelet. A shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti with a gold necklace stands at right beside a tray holding fruit and a rudraksha mala. Orange draped fabric and floral decorations hang in the background. Several other people stand behind. The long-haired man with rudraksha mala and saffron robes matches the Swamiji candidate cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable).
