A photograph outside a silver vehicle, its rear door open, showing a long-haired man in a lavender-purple dhoti-style wrap with a heavy gold bead necklace and a red tilak, raising one hand in greeting. Beside him a woman in an orange sari with a hair bun holds a silver pot or kalasha decorated with yellow marigold garlands and green leaves, and a man in orange clothing stands behind her. Palm trees, a red brick wall and a dirt road form the setting. The man in purple is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style gold beads and ceremonial adornment, present in person.

Outdoor photograph beside a silver pickup truck with its door open, under palm trees and beside an orange-red compound wall. A central man with long swept-back hair, a smiling expression, a red and blue flower garland, a large gold pendant necklace and a rudraksha mala wears a red-brown dhoti and shawl and is surrounded by several attendants in reddish-brown and white robes with yellow borders, forehead markings and rudraksha malas. The attendant on the left in front carries a brass kalasha with a green leaf and gem-studded base, and another attendant on the right holds a small drum. Several attendants walk alongside in procession. The central figure matches the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) cues of swept-back hair, a gold pendant, a mala and garland, and is shown in an arrival procession with attendants bearing ritual items.

A photograph of three people in saffron-orange robes walking across a dirt courtyard beneath a long, colourful cloth canopy strung on bamboo poles. The central figure has long, swept-back dark hair, a large marigold garland and a rudraksha mala, and wears orange dhoti and shawl with sandals; the figure on the right, shaved-headed, wears an orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala and holds a phone to his ear. A woman in orange sari with a white water bottle stands at left beside a silver SUV, and an orange building sits behind. Several cues suggest the central figure is a person, though the appearance is not definitive.
