Night-time photograph outside a parked silver minivan with its side door open. A man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a dark rudraksha mala smiles and holds his hands together in greeting as he steps forward. Behind him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds up a long white and red flower garland, while another in white holds a tray. Several men in white clothes stand nearby with hands folded in namaste, lit by floodlights and green foliage. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, orange turban and rudraksha mala are visible cues of his presentation, and the page identifies this event as involving him, so the orange-clad man is recorded as a probable in-person candidate.

Night photograph outside beside a silver car with its side door open. A figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a long white flower garland with a maroon bead strand, stands at the vehicle. A man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward and places his hands on the garlanded figure's shoulders, while another man beside him holds a tray with flowers.
