A photo inside a bright hall with pink walls and red curtains. In the foreground a long-haired man in a white shirt and white trousers shakes hands with a shaved-headed man wearing glasses, a white dhoti with a pink and gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, and a wristwatch. Behind them, framed portraits hang on the wall, one showing a deity-like figure in red and gold and another showing a figure in orange robes. Other people in white clothes stand and sit on red mats in the background, a water bottle and a notebook lie on the floor, and a woman in a cream sari with red border stands at the left edge.

Indoor gathering in a pink-walled hall with red curtains and a framed portrait of a seated saint in red robes, labelled with printed text. Many people in white clothes mill about on red floor mats scattered with orange cloths, water bottles and papers. In the foreground, a young man in a white kurta with a dark beaded mala stands with hands clasped behind his back, while another man in white shakes hands with a man in white shirt and striped top near him. Pilgrims in white and orange move through the crowded satsang-like hall.

A photograph of a satsang hall with pink walls, hanging colourful striped banners and a projection screen. In the centre a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a yellow shawl, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold necklace, and a gold armband; he reaches out to a smiling man in a white shirt. Around them several shaven-headed men in white dhotis and white shawls stand, one holding a silver tray, and a man in a teal kurta holds a book. Probable Swamiji (probable): the central figure with long hair, yellow shawl, beaded mala and gold ornaments is the candidate, shown greeting a devotee.

Indoor satsang scene. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair, gold-hoop earring, layered rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, wearing an orange-saffron robe, smiles and raises one hand in blessing toward devotees. Several devotees in plain white clothing stand with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, including a shaved-headed young man wearing glasses and a bearded man in white. Background shows more seated and standing devotees, a red cloth, and a hanging orange fabric. Swamiji (probable) appears in person, identified by the long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron robe while giving blessings to devotees.

A photograph of a ceremonial indoor setting with an orange-draped floor. On the left, three people in white dhotis with red-and-gold borders stand in a row, one wearing a red beaded necklace and white flower garland. In the centre, a bare-chested older man with long white hair and a red-and-white sacred thread stands with his hands clasped in front of him. Facing them on the right, a woman in a sleeveless orange robe gestures while speaking. Behind her, two men in orange robes with rudraksha malas stand with hands joined, one near a microphone stand. A large orange-and-white portrait banner on the left shows a smiling man in orange, labelled with a partial printed caption. Orange tassels and a white tent ceiling frame the room.

A photograph in an indoor hall with plain cream walls, orange curtains and a hanging orange-and-multicolour cloth. A man with long black hair wears a yellow dhoti-style drape and a heavy gold necklace of ornaments, holding a small object in one hand and extending the other toward an older, bald, white-bearded man with a bare chest and orange cloth wrapped at his waist, who holds a small red item. Behind them stand men in white dhotis, one with an orange shawl, one in white shirt with hands folded, and a man in khaki trousers and a white shirt. The yellow-draped figure has distinctive long hair and gold ornamentation, but the page cue is not sufficient to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role and a person is unsure.

Photograph of a satsang-style exchange. On the left, a long-haired figure in a rust-orange shawl and a rust-orange rudraksha-style mala sits on a dark cushioned seat and raises both palms toward a visitor. On the right, a shaven-headed man in a white t-shirt with a black wristwatch and a name badge raises both palms in return, facing the seated figure. Behind them, people in white clothing stand, and a woman in an orange sari with yellow border and a mala stands near dark red drapes. A seated person in white with a rudraksha mala is partly visible.
