A photo of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a multi-strand gold necklace with large gold beads, gold armlets and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. He stands before a carved stone pillar or altar wrapped in red and yellow marigold garlands, holding small white flowers and a red bloom in both hands at his chest with eyes lowered. Trees blur in the background. Appearance cues are consistent with a person performing a flower offering, though the face is not used for identification.

A man sits with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders and a long garland of yellow and red flowers around his neck. He has a red tilak on his forehead and a short dark beard, and a red thread wrist band is visible. Behind him is a carved stone wall relief of a standing deity murti with multiple arms, beside red drapery and a golden kalasha with bronze-coloured items at left. The frame is an orange-clad devotee's pranam or darshan-type gesture in a temple setting.

A man with long dreadlocks and a full dark beard bows deeply with his forehead resting on a carved stone platform. He wears a rust-brown draped garment over one shoulder, gold bangles on his arm, a beaded and gold necklace, and a stud earring. Yellow and white marigold garlands hang along the carved stone, and a stone lion's head carving and a folded brown cloth sit nearby.

A photograph of a man with long dark dreadlock-style hair falling past his shoulders, bending forward with his forehead resting on a dark stone ledge decorated with yellow and white marigold garlands. He wears a rust-orange draped garment, gold armbands and bangles, a gold ear stud, and a beaded garland with gold ornaments across his shoulder. A rust-coloured folded cloth sits on the ledge behind him, beside a carved stone lion-head motif. Appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable) given the long hair, orange clothing and ornate gold adornments, shown in an act of devotional obeisance.

Outdoor ceremony with a tall copper-and-wood ritual structure wrapped in yellow marigold garlands and a base of purple, white and yellow flowers. A standing figure in saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair, a white and magenta flower garland, a gold necklace and gold bangles, bends toward the base in a devotional gesture. Grey stone statues of deities stand in the background among green trees, and onlookers, including an older woman in white at the left edge, watch from behind a low barrier while a camera is raised. The orange figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially; no clear identity can be confirmed from the photo alone.

A photograph of a man in orange saffron robes standing outdoors with palms pressed together in a gesture of reverence, eyes lowered and partly closed. He wears long dark hair swept back, a red bindi on his forehead, a gold ceremonial necklace, and a garland of white flowers with red blooms. Beside him stands a tall copper and bronze ceremonial pillar or kalasha-style shrine with carved details, wrapped with an orange cord, flanked by white and red flower garlands and yellow marigold strands, with palm fronds and trees in the background.
