Indoor photo in a plain room with white tiled floor and white walls. A man in a long-sleeved white ritual garment sits on the floor at left, holding and looking through a stack of small colourful booklets, with an orange plastic basket and a navy bag beside him. A second man in orange clothing sits partly behind him, also looking at the booklets.

A garland of white and red flowers lies at the right edge.

A photograph of an indoor ritual on a bare white-walled floor. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and seated on a white-draped cushioned seat, extends his hands to receive a mala. In front of him a kneeling devotee in white kurta and an orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, bows his head with cupped hands. A red and white patterned rug and woven mat lie on the floor. Behind them, a standing man in a white kurta and yellow shawl stands with folded arms, and another man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a mala aloft. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, which fits the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, so this is an appearance-based label only.

A seated man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron dhoti and a shawl draped over his shoulder, reaching to accept a plate of food from a standing sannyasi in orange robes. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas sit or stand at the edges, and a bald man in orange kneels at the lower right. A seated man in a white shirt holds a small item in the foreground. The room has a red draped backdrop, a blue floor and a green mat, with a pair of sandals on the floor. The seated man's distinctive long hair, orange robes and rudraksha-adorned attendants suggest a person receiving offering in a ritual setting.

A seated figure in long, swept-back dark hair and a flowing orange robe sits on a white sofa with dark cushions, smiling broadly while receiving a white bag with red handles from a kneeling devotee in orange robes. Another man in orange with a full black beard and ornate gold necklace stands at right holding a stack of orange-wrapped packages. A third person in white clothing stands at the top right near camera equipment. A framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA" hangs on the wall behind, showing a figure in orange with a gold necklace. A leopard-print mat and striped rug lie on the floor, with a small table holding a gold tray, a bottle, and books at left. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, orange clothing and gold necklace match the probable Swamiji cues, so this is an appearance-based candidate.

Indoor photograph of a small orange-walled room with a dark red, ornately carved throne-style chair on the left. A woman in a red sari kneels beside the chair, reaching toward a brass plate of food. A man in saffron robes with long hair and a rudraksha-style mala stands centre, holding the plate, while a man in white kurta bends forward to receive it. Another man in saffron stands behind and a bald older man in a white shirt is at the right edge. Framed pictures hang on the wall behind them. Several heads of other onlookers appear in the foreground. a person candidate by appearance: the saffron-clad man with long hair and a mala, and the appearance is consistent with the page's identification, so this is a probable in-person presence.

A photo taken indoors in a plain room with pale walls and a white door with a red curtain. A man in a white shirt and white trousers, seen from behind-left, bows forward and receives a gift: a yellow basket of fruit or sweets and a purple cloth bundle. Facing him, a man in orange robes with a bead mala smiles and reaches out to take the offering. On the right, a tall man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange robe with gold border, a long rudraksha mala and a gold-bordered orange shawl, smiles and extends his hands in a welcoming gesture. At the far right edge, a bearded man in orange robes with a dark shawl is partly visible. Behind them are a bookshelf with books, a laptop on a table and a bed with a patterned cover.
