A seated man in an orange saffron shawl and a heavy gold beaded necklace sits on a red-cushioned seat, leaning forward and extending his hand. Facing him, a young boy in a white shirt with yellow and blue stripes holds his cupped hands out to receive an offering of reddish-brown beads. A man in white ritual clothing with a yellow-bordered cloth and a brown rudraksha mala sits behind them, watching. Several women in orange, pink and white saris stand in the background near a window, with white forehead markings visible on some participants.

A young boy in a red t-shirt and dark shorts stands before a seated man on a gold-and-crimson throne. The seated man wears orange robes, a long rudraksha mala and a swept-back hairstyle, and extends his hand toward the boy's outstretched palms. Behind them, a second man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and shaved head stands beside a gold-trimmed wooden table holding small objects, and a figure in white and yellow sits further back. The setting has orange and red walls with a gold-framed throne.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a draped orange shawl and a long rudraksha mala around his neck sits on a red-patterned chair with an orange towel on the arm, smiling as he reaches out to hand an object to a young boy in a white t-shirt who kneels before him with cupped hands. The man has a bindi and his hair is tied back in a bun. Behind them a woman in white sits and a window and wall fill the background. The appearance and robes are consistent with the a person candidate, so this is a probable identification from visible cues, but it is uncertain.

A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and orange top wears a rudraksha-style bead mala and sits on a red patterned cloth. He extends his right arm to hand an object to a smiling boy in a green-and-black striped shirt, who cups both hands to receive it. Behind them, a woman in white and a woman in a pink top stand watching, and a white tower fan and pale peach wall fill the room. Appearance-based label: a person for the seated man in saffron, based on the saffron shawl and bead mala.

A seated man in orange sleeveless robes and a rudraksha mala, hair tied in a topknot, places one hand on the head of a young boy in a pink and green checked shirt while holding small metal objects in his other hand. Behind them, a woman in white and a man in maroon clothing sit with hands folded. A red patterned cushion and an orange towel rest on the red-draped seat. The scene suggests a blessing or pada puja style interaction in a hall with red curtains.

A long-haired man in orange saffron robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, smiling as a young boy in a white-and-striped collared shirt with a lanyard kneels and holds his hands. Behind them, a brass oil lamp burns on a small table and a bottle of water sits at the lower left. In the background, women in white and a woman in yellow stand in a plain room with a window.

A man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at left, guiding a young boy in a yellow shirt who reaches toward a small white packet tied with string. A younger woman in a yellow shawl and a girl in a green top stand behind. Centre, a monk in orange robes, a saffron head covering and a long gold-and-bead necklace with a medallion holds the string. At right, a figure in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a pink-and-white flower garland, wearing a wrist mala, leans forward smiling, touching the packet. A carved gold throne-like seat is visible, and a bouquet sits on the golden table. Swamiji candidate is the right-hand figure, identified by long hair, orange clothing, a flower garland and a gold-adorned setting; appearance is consistent but not fully certain.
