A photograph of a procession walking along a covered, decorated corridor with red curtains, fairy lights and tricolour bunting overhead. At the centre, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a long pink-and-white flower garland and a ceremonial necklace, walking barefoot on a path marked with rangoli-like white lines. Around him, devotees in white and cream clothes, including a woman in a cream sari and men in white shirts and dhotis, walk alongside; a woman in a white sari at right presses her palms together. Rows of footwear lie along the left wall, and rose petals are scattered on the floor.

A photo of a procession walking barefoot down a canopied passage decorated with red drapes, string lights and green-and-orange bunting, with footwear lined along the left side. In front, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a long pink and white flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace; a long-haired figure with swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate adornments matches Swamiji (probable) as the leading figure. Behind him walk devotees in white saris, white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, and a woman on the right holds her hands in anjali. A camera operator is visible at the upper right.

A photograph of a decorated passageway with a striped green, white and orange canopy and red curtains, where a group walks along a terracotta tiled floor. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a large pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, walking barefoot with palms pressed together in greeting; the figure's appearance is consistent with the candidate, but the cues are not distinctive enough for a firm match. Around him, women in white and cream saris and men in white kurtas and orange robes walk with folded hands, and a woman in a gold-bordered sari with a red bindi stands at right. Shoes are scattered at the left edge.

A procession inside a hall with a tiled floor and metal railings. A central figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long white flower garland with red and yellow blossoms and smiles while walking forward. Beside him, a monk in orange robes with a red sash and a shaved head walks with hands together. Behind them, women in white saris with yellow shawls stand along the railing with hands folded in greeting. On the right, a man in white with a yellow shawl carries a tall ornate ceremonial umbrella with a red, yellow and blue fabric canopy decorated with birds and floral embroidery. Framed photographs and banners with bird emblems hang on the walls behind. a person is the central figure in orange robes and a flower garland, matching the page's welcome event.

A photograph of a central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a white and green garland around the neck, walking barefoot along a red carpet under a pink arched entrance. He presses his palms together in greeting. Beside him walks a woman in a cream sari with a pink border and a second saffron-robed attendant with long hair. Men in white dhotis and white shirts line both sides of the carpet, several with palms joined in greeting, and a man in a white shirt and dhoti walks alongside. Hanging potted plants and green trees appear behind the arch, with a gold bird-shaped object at the lower left edge. The central figure's appearance shows several cues: long swept-back hair, a saffron robe and a garland, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so he is a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving a welcome.
