A photograph of an indoor ritual exchange. A long-haired figure in an orange wrap and a rudraksha mala with long, swept-back black hair leans forward smiling and holds out a hand to a man in a white shirt kneeling at a gilded low table. On the table sits a wooden tray with an orange cloth and red fabric. Behind them, a bald man in orange sits, and several people in white kurtas and orange cloths stand on the left and right, some holding up phones. A carved wooden bench and gold-coloured ornamental fittings frame the room. The long-haired figure's cues, orange wrap, rudraksha mala and long hair, are distinctive, so the figure is a probable Swamiji in person.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless top sitting on red cushions, his hands raised in blessing toward a woman in a white sari with a gold border who wears an ID badge on a lanyard. Behind her, women in white saris and a man in a cream shirt stand in a tiled room with a red curtain and a gold-framed object at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange-clad man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, and he is seated in an honoured position receiving devotees.

Indoor event photograph in a hall with warm lighting. A long-haired man with a swept-back mane wears an orange-saffron shawl, layered rudraksha and red-brown bead necklaces, and a red tilak on his forehead, holding folded paper or an offering while receiving a visitor. Beside him a shaven-headed priest in an orange-saffron wrap wears a rudraksha mala and white tripundra markings. A man in a beige shirt bows with palms joined and an offering in hand. Other devotees in white and light clothing stand behind, and a shaven-headed man in orange at the right edge is partly visible. The visible cues for the central figure are his long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ornate necklaces, matching the page's Swamiji reference.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, raising a hand in blessing toward a seated man in a white shirt and dark trousers who holds a small wooden box lined with orange cloth and a sphere-like object. Behind them, a shaved-headed man in white and orange kneels at a gilded wooden table, and several people in white kurtas and orange garments stand in the background, some photographing with phones. A gilded throne-like chair and a brass trident-like finial appear near the table.

A photograph of a seated man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair, his palms pressed together in greeting, facing several visitors inside a tented hall with a maroon curtain and a microphone stand. Standing before him, a smiling man in a pale pink shirt and grey trousers reaches toward him, while a man in a green striped shirt holds a small yellow item and papers. Behind them, an older man with a moustache in a white shirt and other onlookers stand near a decorated pillar. On the right, a bald person in an orange robe is partly visible in the foreground. The Swamiji (probable) appearance cues are the long swept-back hair and saffron-orange sleeveless robe of the seated central figure.

Photograph of three men in a tent-like hall. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair, red bindi, rudraksha mala and a sleeveless saffron/orange robe raises his right hand in blessing and smiles; a shawl-less bare shoulder is visible. Left, a man with curly hair and rudraksha beads over a white shirt presses his palms together in greeting. Between them stands a bald man in a white kurta with an orange shawl around his neck. A white cushion with a red cloth rests in the foreground beside a gold-coloured item. The right figure shows distinctive adornments and saffron clothing, but appearance alone is not conclusive, so the identity is unsure.
