A smiling man stands barefoot on an orange patterned rug with both arms raised overhead, palms open. He wears a yellow turban with a jewelled brooch and red bindi, a white and red flower garland, a yellow shawl over green striped silk dhoti-style garments, rudraksha beads, and gold bangles. Beside him, a gold-coloured ornate lion-form throne or peetha stands draped with multicoloured flower garlands, with a potted palm nearby and a brass lamp at the left edge.

A standing man in a red turban and red shawl over an orange and green silk dhoti, with gold armlets and bangles and a beaded necklace, raises one hand in a blessing gesture beside a large golden seated deity murti. The murti is adorned with thick garlands of red roses, yellow and white flowers, wears a red silk dress and a jewelled crown, and holds multiple weapons including a trident and sword. A gilded throne with a cobra-hood canopy sits on a golden wheeled platform before a dark curtain and a backdrop showing an ornate deity image.

A photograph of a standing man in maroon and orange ritual dress, with an orange turban, long dark hair, a rudraksha mala with a large gold medallion, and a red-and-yellow flower garland, smiling with palms joined in greeting. Beside him stands a golden-bronze deity murti of a goddess in a maroon sari with silver jewellery and garlands, raising one hand, set against a rainbow-coloured flower arch on a yellow-draped golden lion-footed pedestal, with a dark red velvet backdrop. The man's appearance (turban, long hair, rudraksha mala, gold medallion) fits the page's Swamiji reference, but identity is only probable.

A standing man in a yellow turban and yellow shawl over an orange and purple dhoti, wearing rudraksha beads, raises one hand in a blessing gesture beside a golden ratha-style cart carrying a decorated deity murti. The murti is draped in heavy garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers and has a golden crown and necklaces. The golden cart has elephant-head ornaments and wheels. Behind them a large printed portrait of a smiling man in a red turban and red beads is labelled with a copyright line. A white tower cooler stands at left and a brass lamp at right, on a plain pink-walled stage.

A standing man in an orange turban and maroon dhoti with orange border stands on a small red rug before a golden deity murti of a woman standing on a gold bull-shaped carriage with a yellow cloth draped over it. The murti wears white jewelled necklaces, a red blouse and gold-bordered sari, and is framed by a large arch of red, white, purple, yellow and green flower garlands against a dark maroon velvet curtain. The man wears a red and yellow flower garland, a rudraksha mala, a large gold pendant, gold armbands and a bangle, and performs a raised-hand greeting gesture with a smile. A bank of flower decoration and gold vehicle wheels is visible at the base. A probable Swamiji candidate is present, identified by the orange turban, ceremonial gold pendant and rudraksha-style mala; the person is in ceremonial dress standing beside the murti.
