A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair, vibhuti on his forehead, and a rust-orange garment sits on an ornate gold throne carved with peacock-like birds and lion heads. He wears a red and green flower garland, a rudraksha-style pendant and a ceremonial gold necklace, and holds a small object in one hand. Seated figures and blurred devotees in the foreground watch from a decorated hall with gold and red fabric. The distinctive hair, saffron-orange attire and ceremonial gold necklace appear consistent with the page's a person reference, so this is a probable in-person candidate. Several people are visible in the foreground.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and red bolster cushions, under a gold canopy hung with white and marigold garlands. The central figure wears an orange robe with gold border, a gold necklace with a pendant, a white and red flower garland, and gold bangles; long dark hair falls to the shoulders and the eyes are closed as the hands rest folded in the lap. A trident stands beside the throne, and an attendant in orange and cream stands at the left edge. Marigold and rose garlands decorate the dais and tent backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold ornaments, seated in a peetha-style throne, a ceremonial event setting.

A photograph of a ceremonial investiture on a gold-and-crimson dais. A man in a gold crown and a red-and-gold shawl, bare-chested with a white garland, places a garland of white and red flowers around the neck of a seated younger man. The seated man wears long swept-back hair, a saffron-orange robe and a red-and-white garland with gold beads, and smiles while touching the garland. Behind them stand a bare-chested attendant in an orange cloth and gold-lion throne arms, with a gold plate holding offerings nearby and a deep red curtain in the background. a person: the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and a garland, consistent with the page's description of the coronation as the seated figure being honoured.

A photograph of a ceremony on a stage. A man seated on an ornate flower-decorated throne wears a cream-gold sherwani-style outfit, a light saffron turban and a long multicolour-pink garland; he has his palms pressed together. The throne is wrapped in white, yellow, orange and pink marigold and jasmine garlands, with a red cushion. A man in white with an orange shawl stands at left holding a microphone and papers and speaking. Behind the throne a painted temple-pillar backdrop and a standing man in white with an orange garland, and an older woman with garland at right, watch. In the foreground a bald man in white sits with head bowed, and a brass oil lamp stands at right.

A smiling man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with carved floral scrollwork and a crest at the top. He wears a gold crown with a peacock feather, an orange saffron robe, a tall white and red flower garland, and a heavy gold bead necklace with a small pendant. His hands rest folded on his lap. The throne is framed by marigold and rose garlands, red zebra-patterned cushions sit beside him, and a flower-decorated canopy hangs overhead. Given the page's a person flag and the throne and saffron cues, this is a person depiction in a festival setting.

A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne flanked by golden lion sculptures with red cushions. He wears a gold crown, a red tilak on his forehead, layered white and pink-red garlands, a gold necklace, rudraksha-style bead bracelets on his arms, and an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl. A small microphone is visible at his face. Behind him a painted backdrop shows a multi-armed deity form in orange and red, and a golden ornamental canopy. A silver ceremonial staff rests beside the throne. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the crown, saffron clothing, garlands, and beaded adornments, so this figure is labelled as the probable Swamiji seated in person.

A smiling person with a long dark hairstyle, wearing a red bindi, stands before a golden backdrop and is garlanded with a thick multicolour garland of white, orange and red flowers over a saffron cloth. Three people surround them: a woman in a yellow sari at left, a man in white with a gold ring and watch reaching in from the right, and a woman in orange at lower right handling a small silver vessel and offerings. Another smiling man in orange and white stands at upper right beside a floral arch of marigolds and red-and-white draping. Appearance-based label: a person is not established, as the central figure's clothing shows only a saffron wrap and a garland, so identity is uncertain.

The seated man wears saffron-orange robes, a white and red flower garland, a gold necklace, and a red tilak; he holds a gold crown with a peacock feather while a second person in saffron robes with long hair stands at the left edge, reaching toward him.
