A seated meditation or initiation session in a hall with white chairs and a gold deity murti in the background. In the centre, a young man with long dark hair, a kumkum mark on his forehead, an orange robe, and multiple rudraksha malas sits with eyes closed and hands clasped in his lap. To his left, a man in a lavender shirt and rudraksha mala holds a thermometer-like device. To his right, a woman in a purple top and red trousers with rudraksha beads sits with eyes closed. Behind them, seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill the hall, and a screen shows video on the far wall.

A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested under an orange-red shawl with gold border, wears a thin black cord necklace and a red tilak on his forehead. He sits on a red velvet throne with a red tiger-striped cushion, reaching out to hand small items from an open wooden box at his side to a boy in an orange t-shirt who holds out cupped hands. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala kneels and watches, and women in saffron and cream saris stand near gold deity decorations and garlands. Swamiji (probable), shown seated on a throne and distributing objects, with long hair, orange shawl and black cord cues.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-brown robe and a red and white flower garland, and places his hands on a young boy's head, which is covered by a gold and magenta turban; the boy wears a cream kurta. Behind them a smiling woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala leans in beside a small child in a purple dress held on her hip, while other people stand in the background of a bright room with a window, an air conditioner and a small table holding sweets. The man has distinctive long swept-back hair, orange robe and garland cues matching the page's Swamiji reference, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable), appearing in person and giving a blessing.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with a matching orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala around his neck, seated on red patterned cushions. He extends his hand to a young girl in a navy top with a pink hair tie, who is reaching toward him while a woman in a white top with gold-trimmed clothing stands beside her. Behind them, a cameraman operates a tripod-mounted video camera, and several people in white and grey clothes stand in the background near a white tower fan and a potted plant. The man matches the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange robes, so the identification is probable. He is physically present in the scene. Five or more people are visible, including partially visible figures in the background.

A seated man in orange robes and a long red-and-white beaded garland sits on a dark red chair, one hand extended toward a young boy in a white shirt who kneels before him. The man wears gold bangles and has a long swept-back hair. Behind him, a woman in an orange sari with a yellow border stands, and several women in saris and children sit in the background of a bright room with an air conditioner and red curtain. An orange cloth lies on the chair arm. The man has long swept-back hair, a red-and-white garland, and orange robes with gold-edged yellow borders, which are distinctive visible cues; the page associates this event with a person, so the seated man is a person in the appearance-based sense.

A photograph of a seated man in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala with a red bindi and white forehead markings, smiling with eyes closed while extending his hand toward a young blonde girl in a blue top and pink pants standing before him. Behind them a boy in an orange striped shirt and navy track pants bends forward, and a seated audience in a red-draped hall watches. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, orange robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial seated darshan), shown in a satsang setting with red curtains and a plush maroon seat.

Indoor satsang setting in which a long-haired person in orange-saffron robes with a red flower garland sits on a dark red cushioned seat and places both hands on the head of a young boy in a navy polo shirt and dark track trousers. The boy holds his hands forward and the seated figure is smiling. Behind them a woman in an orange sari with yellow border and rudraksha mala stands, and another woman in a green-and-white sari sits smiling. A white floor-standing air conditioner and a small towel sit to the side, with a brass-coloured plate of sweets in the foreground. A red and gold cloth is held above the boy's head. The seated person is a probable Swamiji candidate given the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and red garland.
