A photograph of a paved walkway beside a white multi-storey building with balconies and green shrubs. In the foreground, a man with long dark wavy hair, wearing an orange sleeveless wrap and a rudraksha mala, holds a lit flame in a cupped hand and a long bamboo staff, standing barefoot in sandals. A second man in an orange wrap with his back to the camera stands at left. Behind them, a man in an orange wrap and grey trousers stands near a low brick wall stacked with grey stone slabs and white sacks, and another person in a blue shirt and a seated figure are visible further back.

Outdoor photograph of two men in saffron-orange robes standing on a concrete path beside a white bus. The man on the right has long dark hair, wears a long rudraksha mala, holds a bamboo staff in his right hand and extends a coconut to the man on the left, whose back is turned and whose hair is dark and shoulder-length. A white multi-storey building with balconies, green shrubs and a tree stand behind them, with a bag of construction material to the right. Another man in an orange wrap stands further back by the bus.

A street photograph in an urban Indian lane beside parked white cars and a weathered grey building with small windows. A central figure with long dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala around the neck, and orange sandals, and holds a coconut in one hand. Behind him, two men in white kurtas and white dhotis wear orange shawls, one holding a metal tray of offerings and another with folded hands. To the left, a bearded man in orange robes walks past. The scene suggests a ritual procession through the street. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, distinguished by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala.

A photograph of a ritual scene outdoors under umbrellas. A long-haired man in orange robes and gold-beaded necklaces holds up a lit oil lamp in both hands, its flame close to his face. Beside him a man with a braided ponytail and short beard, wearing an orange top and holding a silver bell, looks up toward the flame. Around them devotees in orange shawls hold tall metal staffs and a trident, and a woman in an orange headscarf sits in the background. The mood is a devotional ritual.

Outdoor photograph of three men in saffron-orange robes walking across a paved courtyard in front of a cream-coloured building with red trim, wooden doors and a latticed balcony. The central man, with long dark hair, wears a saffron shawl and a dark rudraksha mala and carries a small object in his hand. The man at left wears a loose orange kurta with pale dhoti, and the man at right in orange cloth stands beside a white vehicle at the edge of the frame. A small green shrub, parked bicycles and a white plastic chair are visible. A sign with red border is on the left wall.

A man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead walks along a city street in an orange saffron wrap and orange garment, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck. He holds the fabric at his waist with one hand. Behind him, a younger man in white kurta and a bag walks past, and a white hatchback with a yellow Delhi number plate is parked at the roadside beside a broom leaning against a wall. The scene is a crowded urban street with multi-storey buildings.

Outdoor photo of a barefoot man in saffron-orange draped robes walking along a sunlit concrete path, with green trees behind. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a gold chain necklace with a central gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead. Two other men in orange robes walk beside him: one on the left in orange dhoti and shawl, and a partly visible one on the right. Swamiji (probable): the centre figure's long dark hair, saffron robes and rudraksha and gold ceremonial necklaces match the description, but this is an appearance-based candidate only.

Outdoors on a paved path beside a white minibus, a young person with long dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap over the shoulder and rudraksha beads, holds a bamboo staff, and leans a hand on the open bus door. Beside them an older woman in orange sari holds a booklet with a photo cover. Behind, a bearded man in an orange shawl and white dhoti stands with hands joined, and more people in orange clothing stand along the path under green trees. A Himalayan yatra group boarding a bus.

A man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands outdoors in an orange saffron robe with a gold bead necklace, holding a brass oil lamp with a curved handle and a lit flame at the top. Beneath it he holds a cut-glass tray. Blurred palm fronds and an overcast sky fill the background. He appears to be performing an aarti with the lamp. The figure has distinctive long swept hair, orange clothing and gold beads, a visible presentation cue, so this is a person in person; a second person in orange stands at the right edge holding the lamp.
