Outdoor photo of a street procession in Tiruvannamalai. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti line and bindi, a red-brown saffron-toned shawl, and layered rudraksha malas sits on a decorated float, wearing a large garland of yellow, white and red flowers and holding a red fruit in both hands. He appears to be the Swamiji (probable), with the cues of long hair, rudraksha malas and ornate garland. Beside him, a man in a saffron turban and white shirt with orange dhoti sits on the float, and a smiling man in an ochre cloth and white marks stands nearby. Behind them a cameraman raises a video camera, and women in orange and blue saris watch from the right.

A photograph of a ceremonial blessing at an indoor gathering. A man on the left wears a saffron-orange turban and bare-chested orange-red cloth, with a white and green flower garland and a red-and-gold bangle, and places his right hand on the crown of an older man's head. The older man, smiling with grey hair, wears a saffron-orange shawl over white clothes and holds a red apple. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala kneels and holds a small camera, and a figure in gold and green silk stands in the background. The turbaned man has distinctive saffron turban, rudraksha-style cords and garland cues consistent with the page claim, so he is described as a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee.

A younger man in an orange robe and beaded necklace stands behind him, and an orange-robed attendant at lower right holds apples. A white-haired man in white kurta wears a marigold garland and an ID lanyard at left, and several women in white sarees stand nearby under a white canopy with flower-strung drapes.
