Indoor photo of a satsang-style gathering in which a man in a cream turban, orange-saffron shawl and multiple beaded rudraksha malas stands at the centre, leaning forward to receive or give a gesture from an elderly man in a grey-and-white striped shirt and glasses who extends his hand toward him. Around them, a bare-headed priest in white dhoti with white tripundra markings and a rudraksha mala stands at left with hands folded in namaste, several devotees with palms joined, and a man in an orange robe with bare shoulders is seen at the right foreground. A projection screen glows white behind the group against a maroon curtain. The turbaned man's appearance and ornaments are consistent with the page's a person reference but the identification is uncertain.

A photograph of a ritual offering inside a bright indoor hall with a white ceiling and fluorescent lights. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and dark-rimmed glasses stands with hands together, receiving prasad from a tray. A woman in the center-right wears a maroon-and-brown turban with gold ornaments, a cream-and-gold sari, heavy gold necklaces and gold bangles, and holds a silver tray of sweets, offering them. Behind her, several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand in a group, one with a shaved head and a red tilak. A man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands beside them. Several other devotees are visible in the background.

Indoor ashram gathering. In front of him, a man in white shirt bows and reaches toward him while a younger man in white folds his hands in greeting. On the right, a bald priest in orange robe with red border holds a wooden tray and offers items. Other attendees in white shirts and a camera operator with a boom microphone are at the left edge; a white board and red curtain sit in the background.

A man in a white dhoti and white shawl with a gold border, wearing a rudraksha mala and a jewelled ornament, touches the forehead of a bespectacled man in white garments and a rudraksha mala. The man in the turban and gold-bordered shawl has a long gold pendant and a rudraksha mala, and a monk in orange robes stands at right holding a tray of offerings, while onlookers in white and colourful clothes watch in an indoor hall. The scene suggests a blessing being given. A man in the turban and ceremonial gold necklace matches a distinctive presentation, and the page indicates Swamiji attended, so this is Swamiji (probable) giving a blessing to a devotee.

The seated figure's back is toward the camera. A woman in white bends low at the lower left, touching a white cloth. Behind them, many men and women in white dhotis and white clothes stand or sit. No identity is asserted for the seated figure.

A photograph of a ceremonial reception in an indoor hall with maroon curtains. A man in a cream-coloured turban with a jewelled ornament and a white dhoti with a gold border wears rudraksha-style red beaded bracelets and a long beaded necklace; he is receiving a garland of white flowers and orange blossoms from a man in a striped shirt at left. A younger man in a saffron/orange robe stands at right, and several onlookers in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background. The turbaned man in white and gold is a candidate for a person on appearance (probable), based on his ornate turban, jewelled adornment and beaded necklaces, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red turban and draped saffron-orange cloth, wearing a red floral garland and gold ornaments, receiving a gesture from a devotee. A man in white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala kneels with folded hands and offers his palms toward the seated figure, while a golden kalasha-style vessel rests nearby. Behind them, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala holds her hands together in namaste, and other attendees in white and rust-coloured shawls stand by. A golden trident is visible at the top of the frame, and a red curtain hangs in the background.

Indoor event in a hall with a white screen and maroon curtain behind. A person in an orange turban and saffron-orange shawl, wearing layered red and white marigold garlands, a gold ornate necklace and gold bangles, extends a hand to a devotee and holds a folded white paper while standing at a tray with offerings. Several devotees in white and cream clothing stand in a line with palms joined in prayer, one young man in glasses wears a maroon top with rudraksha-style beads. A monk in orange robes and glasses stands at the right edge. The appearance of the turbaned central figure is consistent with the a person cues of orange turban, garlands and ornate gold necklace, so this is an in_person candidate, though the face is not used for identification.
