A night photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a small red mark on his forehead, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and across his chest, with his upper body bare on one side. He stands in front of a dark outdoor setting lit by a few overhead lamps and tube lights. Beside him at the right, a second man in white ritual clothing with an orange shawl looks down with hands folded in front of him. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long hair, saffron shawl and forehead mark, with the man on the right described as a devotee in white and orange.

Night photograph at an outdoor ashram ground lit by a few distant lights. In the foreground a young man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a loose orange saffron wrap over his body and walks forward with eyes lowered. Behind him, two men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk on the reddish earth; one carries a small object in his hands. At right stands a red-painted pedestal topped with a white stepped base and a vertical metal pole. The page presents this as a person at an arathi event, but the figure's appearance is only moderately distinctive, so the identity is marked uncertain. Three people are visible.

Outdoor photo at an event with a crowd behind a low orange stage. A man in orange robes stands centre-right with long dark hair swept back, a red bindi on his forehead, a bare-shouldered orange wrap, and his right hand on his hip, smiling toward the audience. Beside him on the left, a man in an orange kurta holds a handheld microphone. Behind them, blurred devotees in white, green and yellow saris sit among a car and buildings at dusk.

Night-time photograph of a procession on red stone steps. In the centre, a man wearing a saffron-orange shawl and a long gold-bead necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead, walks forward and gestures with one hand. Behind him, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders walks on the steps, and a woman in an orange garment follows among a crowd of onlookers in light clothing. The scene is lit by dim artificial light.

Outdoor ceremonial scene under a tent canopy with red, white and blue banners on poles behind. A young man with long wavy black hair wears an orange cloth wrapped over his shoulders and body and a small red forehead mark. Beside him stands a bespectacled man in a white dhoti and white kurta with an orange shawl across one shoulder and a rudraksha mala around his neck, holding a silver-coloured vessel with both hands. Seated devotees and lamps are visible in the background.

Photograph of two men in saffron-orange robes in a covered open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof and whitewashed walls. On the right, a long-haired man in an orange wrap descends or steps up a grey stepped platform, lifting one bare foot. On the left, a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a small dark bag in his hand stands at the foot of the steps, looking toward him. Behind them is a white statue of a bull or animal figure draped with a colourful cloth, beside a potted palm and a blue stand. Appearance-based label: a person for the long-haired man in an orange wrap, with his long hair and saffron clothing as cues; the shaved-headed man is a devotee in orange.

Night photograph of a walking procession along a dirt path beside a red-and-white painted low wall. In front, a man in an orange saffron shawl and orange cloth, with long swept-back hair and a bare-chested upper body, walks forward. Behind him, two men in white kurta-style clothes with orange shawls walk; one holds a small torch or light. A man in white with an orange shawl is partly visible at the right edge. Dark trees and bushes fill the background. The front figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, but the image is dark and blurred, so the identity is uncertain.
