Night-time photo at an outdoor roadside as devotees receive a person stepping out of a grey van with open side door. A man in orange robes wears a long white and red flower garland and a yellow shawl, smiling. Beside him, a bald man in orange garments wears an orange-and-beige bead necklace, while a man in white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow shawl bends forward near the vehicle. Another white-clad attendant in an orange stole holds a brass tray. A large red, green and yellow fringed umbrella overhead and green trees surround the scene. Roughly ten to fifteen people are visible.

Night photo on a dirt road lit by floodlights and car headlights. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe and a long white-and-pink flower garland, raising one hand in greeting while smiling. Behind a dark SUV, devotees in white dhotis and saffron-robed sannyasis, some with rudraksha malas, stand with palms joined. Another figure in a white dhoti and red-bordered shawl with a bare chest and ornate necklace holds his hands together at left. Trees and a light pole frame the background.

Night outdoor photo at a roadside gathering beside a dark car with its door open. In the centre, a long-haired figure with his back to the camera wears an orange robe edged with gold and a white flower garland, standing by the open car door. Around him, men in white dhotis and shawls, several shaved-headed, stand with palms pressed together in namaste, and a man in white kneels in the foreground. A man in white with a rudraksha-style mala holds a green banana leaf or plantain offering. Warm string lights and lamps glow in the background among onlookers. The orange-robed figure cannot be confirmed as a person from appearance alone, so no identification is made.

Night-time photograph outside a parked silver minivan with its side door open. A man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a dark rudraksha mala smiles and holds his hands together in greeting as he steps forward. Behind him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds up a long white and red flower garland, while another in white holds a tray. Several men in white clothes stand nearby with hands folded in namaste, lit by floodlights and green foliage. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, orange turban and rudraksha mala are visible cues of his presentation, and the page identifies this event as involving him, so the orange-clad man is recorded as a probable in-person candidate.

Night photograph outside beside a silver car with its side door open. A figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a long white flower garland with a maroon bead strand, stands at the vehicle. A man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward and places his hands on the garlanded figure's shoulders, while another man beside him holds a tray with flowers. Several men in white kurtas and dhotis stand behind with hands folded in anjali, and green-lit trees form the backdrop. The garlanded figure appears to be a sannyasi in saffron clothing rather than a clearly identifiable person; no appearance-based a person candidate is established with sufficient cues.
