Indoor photo in a marble-floored hall with a wall clock and a framed glass panel. Two men walk side by side at the centre. The man on the left wears a yellow silk dhoti and shawl with red-gold borders, long dark hair and bangles, and is smiling broadly. The man beside him wears an orange turban and an orange sleeveless robe, with a long rudraksha mala across his chest, and holds one hand over his heart. Behind them, a uniformed attendant in a white tunic with a red sash and a ceremonial headpiece stands, and other men in white shirts and grey trousers stand around. On the far right, a bearded man in an orange robe with a red border and a rudraksha mala stands with his hands folded. The appearance of the orange-turbaned figure is consistent with the page's description, so the label is given as probable.

A seated figure in orange saffron robes wearing a white and red flower garland with a green tassel sits on an orange cushioned throne-style chair in a pink-walled room, raising one hand in greeting. Around him stand eight people: two women in cream and gold saris, an older woman in a white top with a dark beaded necklace, an older man in white with eyeglasses, a man in white shirt and dark mala, another man in white shirt, a woman in a cream sari with red border, and two young girls in white and gold dresses. A red carpet lies on the floor, and a glass cabinet with stuffed toys and small figurines stands behind. The seated figure's appearance suggests a person in an in_person setting, though this is uncertain. A red-topped table with scattered petals sits at right.

A photograph inside a hall with white walls and a clock, where a central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a gold necklace and rudraksha-style garland stands smiling with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him a bearded man wears an orange robe and a red-orange robed attendant walks behind. Around them, white-clad devotees with folded hands stand near a metal railing, and a decorated altar shows coconuts, marigold and garland decorations, and umbrellas. The figure with the gold necklace and long swept hair in saffron clothing matches the visible cues of a person, shown in person.

A small orange-walled room where a seated figure in an orange robe, with long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a red-and-green flower garland, smiles while people with folded hands gather around him. A man in white shirt and dhoti with a tilak stands with palms joined, and a young girl in a blue floral dress with a red hair clip bends forward. A kneeling young man in white with a yellow shawl holds a wooden tray of rudraksha beads and other objects. A framed portrait and a wall clock hang on the wall. The scene looks like darshan with devotees offering respect.

A photograph of a procession entering a decorated hall. In the centre, a barefoot man in saffron-orange robes wears a long white and orange flower garland and holds his palms raised in greeting. Beside him, a bearded man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala walks alongside, and another man in orange follows behind. A young woman in a light blue outfit stands at left with palms pressed together. Men in white dhotis and shirts, and a man in a checked shirt at right, stand with hands folded. A green-and-orange decorated arch of flowers and coconuts hangs above the doorway, with banana leaves flanking the path and a wall clock above. People visible: about 10.

In the centre, a long-haired man with a white vibhuti band and red bindi, wearing a red and green flower garland, gold necklace, and bare-chested orange cloth with rudraksha beads, walks forward smiling. Around him, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes with rudraksha mala and tilak, a shaved-headed man in orange with white forehead markings, and men in white shirts and a woman in a green sari with folded hands look on.

A photograph inside a small room with orange-painted walls, a wall clock at upper left and a framed portrait of a long-haired man in orange on the wall. A central figure with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange robe, a long red-and-green garland and a gold bead necklace, sits smiling on an orange chair. Around him devotees in white and orange clothing press their palms together or reach toward him, and a younger man in an orange robe stands at right. a person: the seated figure's long hair, orange robe, garland and gold beads fit the candidate cues, though the appearance is only moderately clear. The visible people are devotees gathered for darshan.

A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe wearing a long pink and white flower garland walking barefoot across a whitewashed hall, smiling and looking ahead. Behind him a man in an orange robe holds a decorated multicoloured parasol on a long pole above him. Around the hall, a line of devotees stands with palms pressed together in namaste: women in white, pink and teal saris and white kurtas, and men in white shirts. A colourful painted pillar stands at the right and a wall clock hangs above the doorway. This appears to be a welcome procession in an ashram setting; the central figure has long swept-back hair and a saffron robe with a garland, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate walking in procession.

Indoor family group photo in a plain cream-walled room with a wall clock, a calendar, framed religious pictures and two wall calendars showing saffron-robed figures. A young man in an orange-saffron robe with a gold border and a garland of white jasmine and red flowers sits front left, smiling and raising one hand in greeting, with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind and around him stand an elderly man in white with a white beard, a young girl, a woman in a teal top, a man in a white shirt, and several children, including a boy in a blue polo with a rudraksha-style mala and a small girl in black. The man in saffron has no clear visible a person cues beyond the orange robe and garland, so the identity is unsure. Seven people are visible.
