A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands in a shrine-like room, wearing a sleeveless orange wrap garment and orange cloth. He faces a younger man on the left in a yellow-orange kurta with long curly hair, who holds a clipboard and papers. A third person in white clothes is partly visible at the right edge. Behind them, a framed portrait of a deity or saint with a golden crown and a garland of white and red flowers hangs on the wall, and a wooden cabinet below holds brass oil lamps and a small kalasha-like brass vessel. Framed pictures of a saint in orange robes and a deity appear on the left wall, with shrine niches above.

A photograph taken inside a plain white-walled room with a wooden cupboard on the right. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a white and red flower garland over his shoulders steps through an open wooden doorway, his arm extended toward a folded white cloth on a carved wooden screen. A second figure in orange stands behind him in the doorway area. On the left, a carved wooden partition is draped with white and yellow flower garlands, and a framed picture hangs on the wall above a shrine-like table decorated with marigolds and small brass ornaments. The man's long dark hair is swept back, and he wears a saffron robe and a garland; the candidate appearance is consistent with a person, with long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland as cues, so the figure is marked as in_person with uncertainty.

A man with long, swept-back dark wavy hair and a red bindi stands in a white-walled room beside a table stacked with books and small brass figurines. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over a rust-orange top and a rudraksha-style necklace, and looks to his left with a smile. Behind him, a second man in glasses and white clothes stands in a doorway.

A man with long dark swept-back hair, a small red mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and an orange robe stands at the centre, speaking and gesturing with one hand. Beside him a second man in orange with a rudraksha mala holds a small white object. On the left an older woman in a pink sari and gold earrings holds her palms together in namaskar. A glass display cabinet on the right holds trophies, small framed photographs and a small brass figure. Probable Swamiji's appearance matches the long hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala cues.

A man in saffron-orange robes wearing a long white, yellow and green flower garland stands barefoot in a bare-walled room with a dark wooden display cabinet holding deity figures and flowers on the right. Behind him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaste, and another figure in orange stands in a doorway hung with a green leaf-and-cloth torana. The saffron-robed central figure has long hair swept back and an ornate gold-toned appearance; with several cues (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland) he may be the a person, though his face is not identifiable from the image. A water bottle sits on the floor near the cabinet.
