Indoor photo in a bare concrete corridor with pale green-grey walls and a corrugated metal roof. On the right, a long-haired man in an orange-red robe and a rudraksha mala faces left, smiling, toward a group of sannyasi men. Four or five men in saffron and orange dhotis and shawls, some with orange headwraps, stand in the corridor; one in white with an orange shawl and mala stands with hands folded. A framed portrait on the back wall, labelled PRINCIPAL on a sign above it, shows a figure in orange with long hair. The scene is a quiet encounter between the figures in the passage.

Indoor photo at an exhibition or reception area with cream walls. A framed portrait hangs on the wall, garlanded with red and pink flowers and a small sign above it reads "PRINCIPAL". Six people stand in view: a man in white kurta and dhoti at left, a man in a white shirt and light trousers facing the wall, a smiling woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala, a woman in a yellow sari with a green-bordered pallu, and two bearded men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha necklaces, one with a red-and-saffron head cloth.

A photograph of a covered open-sided hall with an orange corrugated roof and red-framed windows. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe walks barefoot across a striped green, pink and blue mat, smiling and looking down. He wears orange garments wrapped over his body. To his right, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style pendant holds a rolled item and walks alongside. Behind them a man in white and another in orange move through the room, and a pedestal fan, white plastic chairs and a table stand nearby. A large printed banner on the back wall shows a man in white turban-like headwear. A camera operator is visible at the left edge. The long hair, orange saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive and align with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.

A photograph of two men standing on a marble step at the entrance of a pale yellow building with a dark doorway behind them. On the right, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead wears a loose saffron-orange wrap that leaves his shoulder bare, plus orange-strapped sandals, and holds a long dark wooden staff with a brass handle. On the left, a younger man in a white kurta and white dhoti with red borders, with an orange shawl over his shoulder, holds a folded orange cloth. Dry leaves lie on the paved ground.

A photograph in a small wood-panelled room with a brown floral-upholstered sofa and armchair and a wooden coffee table holding stacked books and a pink cloth. A man in a white long kurta and dark trousers stands at left with palms pressed together in greeting. A long-haired person in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and shawl, with a red-and-white forehead mark, stands at centre smiling with palms joined, and another person in orange is partly visible at the right edge. Two people are present in the room, the figure in orange and the man in white, plus a partly visible third person.

A photograph of a room with white walls and beige curtains. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and a red sleeveless top, wearing a dark rudraksha mala, stands at left smiling while handing a small red object to a man on the right. That man wears a white shirt and white trousers with a gold-bordered saffron shawl over his shoulder and a gold bangle. Behind them a second man in saffron cloth stands near a small table with stacked books and a steel tumbler. A white-draped sofa at left holds a brass kalasha-style vessel and books. Red chairs line the right side. The appearance-based label is probable for the long-haired man in saffron, who fits the page's a person claim only with partial cues (long hair, saffron cloth, rudraksha mala), so this is an uncertain in-person candidate.

Indoor photo in a plain room with cream walls, a wooden cabinet, a small table covered with white lace and a glass, and red upholstered chairs. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair, smiles and bows slightly while another man in saffron robes with glasses and a beard stands at right with palms pressed together. A third saffron-robed man stands at left, and several men in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background. Framed pictures and a notice board hang on the walls behind them.
