A crowded temple interior with a teal cloth canopy overhead and stone walls behind. At the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a saffron-orange forehead mark, a rudraksha mala, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, and a white floral garland stands with his arm around a bearded man in a saffron shirt and pink-white scarf, who holds a mobile phone to take a selfie. Around them are other men in pink and orange clothes, a man in a pink polo with a rudraksha mala, and a young man in an orange and maroon garment with a beaded necklace. Behind, many devotees, some women in saris, press close. The central man's appearance with long hair, ornate gold jewellery and garland matches the description of a person, though the identification is uncertain.

Night photograph at a stone temple entrance with dark sandstone pillars and a lit doorway. A central figure in a dark reddish-brown wrap and layered gold necklaces, with a white-and-yellow flower garland and a tilak on the forehead, smiles and walks forward while men around him press their palms together in greeting. A man in an orange shirt with raised hands and a younger man in orange with a beaded necklace stand nearby, and a man in a light green shirt is in the foreground. Several other people are visible in the background of the temple precinct.

Photograph of a crowded night procession inside a stone temple with carved pillars and a green cloth canopy overhead. At centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears an orange-red garment with a shawl, a white flower garland, a gold necklace, and a yellow tilak on his forehead; the appearance cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. Around him, devotees in saffron and orange clothing, some in red saris, wear rudraksha malas, and a man in a pink shirt with a rudraksha mala stands nearby. Several people hold up mobile phones to take pictures, and a bare-chested man with a sacred thread stands to the left.

A dense crowd fills a temple hall with tall stone pillars and hanging saffron and multicoloured banners. At centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-red saffron cloth over bare shoulders and a heavy gold bead necklace, hands clasped, smiling; he has the appearance of the probable Swamiji. Beside him, a man in an orange garment and gold necklace stands, a bald priest with a rudraksha mala and bare chest is on the right holding a metal tray with red offerings, and a man in a white striped shirt stands near the centre. Devotees with red forehead marks surround them. Probable Swamiji, depicted in person at a temple gathering.

A crowded indoor scene where a central figure in saffron-orange cloth with heavy gold necklaces, a red-and-gold headband and a red bindi on the forehead smiles while reaching out to devotees. Several people press close around him, including a bald man in orange robes with gold chains on the right and a man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala on the far right. A man in a red polo shirt raises his arm in the background, and a man in a blue checked shirt stands in the foreground with his hands near the figure. Behind them are wooden trays and temple hangings.

Dense crowd of devotees inside a temple hall with ornate stone pillars and hanging orange and green cloth banners. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-red saffron dress, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and gold armbands, his hands folded in front of him. Around him, shaved-headed men in orange cloth and gold necklaces stand among white-shirted men and women in saris. A bare-chested man in the foreground wears a black rudraksha mala and a red tilak. The scene appears to be a temple visit or darshan with a large crowd pressing around the central figure.
