Three men in saffron-orange robes walk outdoors beside a white temple pillar carved with ornate figures and a green-and-white decorative panel behind them. The central man, bare-shouldered on one side, wears a long dark rudraksha mala over saffron cloth and a red tilak on his forehead, looking ahead. To his left, a man in saffron robes with a matching shawl and a pendant on a beaded necklace looks down. To his right, a man with long dark hair and an orange wrap holds a green palm frond. Green palm leaves frame the right edge, and a few people in white are visible in the background.

A smiling young man in a saffron-orange turban and orange robes sits cross-legged on a sunlit grey rock beneath leafy green trees. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and a long rudraksha mala hangs from his neck to his waist. His hands rest folded in his lap, and his bare feet are visible at the lower edge. The dappled light falls across the stone and foliage. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate, with long hair, orange clothing and a rudraksha mala, and the page places him at this event, so he is treated as present in person.

A photograph of a man with long, dark, wavy hair and a small red bindi standing outdoors before a large banyan tree with thick, spreading aerial roots. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long necklace of rudraksha beads. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture, and he smiles gently toward the camera. Dappled sunlight falls on the ground and tree trunks behind him. The appearance of this man, with long swept hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, is consistent with a person candidate, shown in person giving a blessing. The orange robe and rudraksha beads are visible cues of his sannyasi presentation.

He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long strand of rudraksha beads across his chest, and he raises his right hand in a gesture of blessing while smiling. The ground is dirt and leaves. Swamiji (probable) appears as the subject, identified by long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala.

A long rudraksha mala with large brown beads hangs across his chest. He stands outdoors under a large spreading tree with dappled sunlight, looking off to the side. The appearance cues (long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala) are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji portrait, though identity is an appearance-based label only.

He stands outdoors under large banyan tree branches with aerial roots, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. The shaded dirt ground and green foliage fill the background. Appearance cues include the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, matching the page's Swamiji flag, so this is a probable Swamiji depiction in person.
