A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and a red velvet curtain behind him. He wears an orange-brown robe, a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead, a rudraksha mala, and a leopard-print cloth around his waist. He extends his right hand to touch the head of a bare-chested devotee in white dhoti and red beaded necklace, who kneels before him with raised hands. A woman in an orange robe with long dreadlocked hair sits to the left, supporting the devotee's arm. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate: long swept-back hair, orange robe, rudraksha mala and throne, with the page noting his presence.

A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden lion-shaped armrest and a gilded parasol above, with hands pressed together in namaskar. He wears a brown-orange dhoti with a gold border, a long garland of flowers, a bead mala and a vertical white tilak on the forehead. Beside him, a bare-chested attendant in a yellow-orange cloth with a green-edged sash holds a lit oil lamp with a flame toward him. Other white-clad people sit in the background, and a brass plate and a pedestal stand in the foreground. Floral garlands in red, yellow and white frame the backdrop.

A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in a red-draped setting with a gold-carved throne. A seated man in maroon robes, a rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, and white tripundra on his forehead holds a small lamp-like object and gestures toward a kneeling man with bare upper body in orange-red cloth and a rudraksha mala, who holds his palms together. A silver staff stands beside them and a microphone is in front. Two physical people are visible.

A ceremonial scene in an ornate hall with a red carpet. A man in white dhoti with gold border kneels before a seated man on a silver and red velvet throne, offering something with his hands. The seated man wears a rust-red garment and a rudraksha mala, and his long hair is swept back. Behind them a standing figure in orange clothing and a tall crown-like headdress with a tiki mark on the forehead holds a silver staff. Other devotees in red and white robes and rudraksha malas stand in the background. A silver staff rises beside the throne and a small table fan stands nearby.

A seated man in an orange-red saffron robe and a tall black turban, with rudraksha malas across his chest and arms and white and red tilak marks on his forehead, rests his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt on the left. He holds a small paper in his left hand while reading it. He sits on a golden throne with an ornate gold relief panel behind him, covered with a leopard-print cushion. A brass bell hangs above, a golden kalasha-style vessel stands nearby, and string lights hang at the edge. Two people are visible, and a probable Swamiji candidate with the turban, rudraksha and saffron cues is seated on the throne, giving blessing to the devotee.

A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a full beard, sitting on a red cushioned seat with bare feet. He rests his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a red-and-orange shawl and red wrist thread, who bows forward with palms raised. Behind them stand a golden deity murti and a red curtain, with a gold-framed chair edge and a partly visible person in orange at the right edge. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji, seated and blessing the devotee; his long hair, rust-orange robe and rudraksha-style braided cord are the distinguishing cues.

Facing him from behind is a priest in an orange-red turban and saffron cloth, with a rudraksha mala and white markings on his arms, holding a silver lamp with a large flame. Carved dark wooden screens form the background.
