A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands centre, with a red mark on his forehead, holding a small object in his hands and smiling.

A photograph of a darshan or healing blessing in a hall with maroon drapes. A long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap and orange garment sits at right, placing his right hand on the head of a seated young man in a checked shirt. Nearby, an older man with grey hair, white clothes and a rudraksha mala holds currency notes toward the saffron-clad figure, and a younger man in an orange shawl stands beside him. Behind them a white-clad woman with a red bindi stands near a table of flowers, fruit and offerings, and an orange-robed figure sits further back. The seated figure with the swept-back hair shows distinctive saffron clothing and a long-hair presentation, which are candidate cues; the identification is uncertain, so this is described by role.

A photograph of a darshan-style gathering. A long-haired figure in a sleeveless saffron/orange robe sits at right, holding a small bundle of green fruit or nuts and reaching toward a white bag. Devotees surround him: a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands center with palms pressed together and a red thread on his wrist; a woman in a white sari with an orange border and gold jewellery looks on at left; a man in an orange cloth with a shaved head stands behind. On the right, a table holds rows of small framed photos and printed items. Several people are seated in the foreground. The figure in saffron has long swept hair and distinctive saffron clothing, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity.

The orange-robed seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, but appearance-based identification is uncertain, so this is described by role only.
