Indoor photo in a dark hall with a crowd behind. A man in an orange turban and orange robe with a gold-toned chain and a long dark hair stands at left, smiling, with a red bindi. Beside him a man in an orange shirt with a white cloth band on his forehead faces him, while a man in a light grey shirt with glasses presses his palms together in greeting. Other devotees, including a woman in a pale sari, stand nearby. Whether the orange-turbaned man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.

A photograph taken at night of a crowd gathered around a smiling man in an orange turban and orange sleeveless robe, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. He is reaching out to a bearded older man in pink shirt and tinted glasses, and a red fruit is visible in the foreground. Several men in white shirts and dark-rimmed glasses stand behind them, and a small poster hangs on a pillar in the background. The turbaned man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, identified by the orange turban, orange robe and long hair, and he is physically present in the scene.

A photo of devotees greeting a man in an orange and gold turban and orange shawl with a rudraksha mala-style neck adornment, in a white-walled hall with a metal-framed roof and ceiling fans. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand with palms pressed together in namaste, and one elderly man in a white shirt and a salmon-pink shawl presses his palms to the orange-clad man's face, a gesture of blessing. A red and gold throne is visible at right, and a vertical banner with red, blue and yellow patterns hangs at left.

Outdoor evening darshan at night under floodlights. A person wearing a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron-orange robe sits on a cream-coloured raised seat with long, curly, shoulder-length hair, extending a hand to greet an older man in white dhoti and shirt with a lanyard, whose palms are pressed together in greeting. Around them, devotees in white, a woman with grey hair in a cream sari, and a young man in orange scarf watch. Plastic chairs and a white air conditioner are visible behind. The saffron-clad figure matches the a person appearance cues of a turban, long hair and saffron robes, so this is a person in person.

Crowded night photo of devotees pressing around a bald man in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala, who stands with hands at his chest and is touched by a man in a white shirt bowing toward him. A long-haired figure in saffron with a rudraksha mala and palms pressed together smiles beside them. Other men in white shirts, orange kurtas and a sleeveless white-clad man at left fill the scene; a cameraman is visible at upper left. The appearance of the central saffron-robed figure is not clear enough to confirm identity.

Night photograph at an outdoor satsang or darshan. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair, sits on a cushioned seat and reaches out to touch the shoulder of a smiling man in white shirt and white dhoti who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Around them, other men in white shirts and white dhotis stand, and a man in a red-and-white shawl with a dark mala watches. A woman in a patterned yellow-and-brown sari is seen from behind at left, and a grey-haired person in a beige top sits in the foreground. Stage lights and an air conditioner are visible in the background. The seated figure's identity is an appearance-based candidate with saffron robes, orange turban and long hair, so the description notes him as a probable Swamiji.

A smiling man with dark hair in a bun, wearing an orange-saffron silk garment with a gold border and a heavy necklace of gold beads and gold armbands, extends his hand toward a bearded older man in a white shirt who presses his palms together in greeting. Around them, several men in white shirts and mundus fold their hands in prayer, and a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a red tilak stands behind. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with warm lighting.

Behind her, a young man with long hair wears an orange robe and watches the scene. Several other people in white and orange surround the group, and a stage with orange flags is visible in the background. The orange turban and saffron clothing mark the woman as a sannyasi-style devotee; no identity claim is made from appearance.
