A photograph of people descending a concrete staircase outdoors beside a white building with green foliage. In the foreground a bearded man in saffron robes and a white bead necklace walks down the steps. Behind him a long-haired person in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch walks ahead. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti, barefoot, points toward the building with his right arm. Several other people in white and saffron clothing follow along the stairs and stand near the entrance, along with a person in dark clothing on the right. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired figure in saffron with dark rudraksha beads and a swept-back hairstyle, walking among the group.

A photograph of people walking barefoot through a wooden doorway into a light-coloured building with a polished stone floor and a view of trees outside. The central figure wears an orange robe, an orange shawl and a long yellow-and-red marigold garland, with a red-and-yellow tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. Beside him on the left, a man in white dhoti and shirt walks with hands folded. Behind, another person in an orange shawl and white clothes walks, and a man in white dhoti and shirt with a wristwatch stands on the right. Garlands in yellow and red line the doorframe. The central figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes with a garland, so an appearance-based candidate for a person is present but the cues are not fully distinctive enough to confirm.

Photograph of a group walking through a doorway in a plain interior. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and red markings on his chest, smiling and gesturing with his hand, is at centre. Beside him a man in white shirt and dhoti walks in the foreground. Behind them men in white dhotis and shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, follow, and a man at left holds a garland of yellow and pink flowers. A woven mat lies on the floor at bottom, and a printed notice is pinned to the wall at right. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man in the orange robe, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala; he is in person.

Outdoor photograph of a group at the entrance of a pale pink building with a doorway and concrete steps, gravel ground in front. A central figure in a flowing orange robe with a vermilion forehead mark stands on the steps, gesturing with one hand while a younger man in an orange shawl stands beside him. Behind them, men in white shirts and white dhotis stand in the doorway. On the right, a bare-footed man in a white kurta and white trousers, wearing a long rudraksha mala, faces the group. Another man in a white dhoti with a gold border walks down the steps on the left. The page links this to Salem Aadheenam, but the central figure's appearance does not clearly establish identity.

A photograph of a figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange head wrap with long dark hair descending the steps of a white marble staircase with dark wrought-iron railings. The figure wears a rudraksha mala and carries a dark bag, smiling toward the camera. Behind and beside on the steps are several men in white shirts and white dhotis, one with a white beard wearing a lanyard badge, another holding a dark bag. A few more people stand near a gate and in a courtyard with planted shrubs and a white wall; a woman in a blue sari stands at the right edge.

A photograph of a temple-entrance scene with a stone-block wall and a pink-painted stair railing at left. In the centre, a figure in an orange turban and orange shawl over a gold-bordered orange cloth stands with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered. Around them, men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and walk along the steps; one wears a dark beaded necklace and another has a green rosette badge. At lower right, a bearded man in white with an orange shawl sits near the steps. Visible attire is mainly white and orange, with a lantern-style fixture overhead. a person cues: orange turban, orange shawl and beaded mala on the central figure, but the appearance is only partly clear, so the identification remains uncertain.

Photograph of a covered porch entrance with pillars, a ceiling light and a red-and-cream facade with a decorative metal grille and a garland hung above the doorway. In the foreground on the left, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a beaded necklace stands with arms at his sides, looking to the side. Beside him, a bearded man in white kurta and dhoti stands barefoot in the doorway, and on the right a bespectacled man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a dark bead necklace stands barefoot with hands folded at his chest. Several other men in white clothing stand behind them in the entrance area. A portrait of a man in white is partly visible at upper right. Green leaves frame the right edge.

A group of men walks barefoot through a covered courtyard entrance beside a pink-and-gold ornate iron gate. At the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a gold-beaded necklace walks ahead; a candidate for the page subject, appearance-based and uncertain. Beside him, a man in orange carries a red-and-gold cloth bundle. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts, one in a light blue shirt, and an older man in a saffron shawl follow closely. Green walls, a tiled floor and a railing frame the scene.

A group of men walks barefoot along a dirt lane beside an old stone temple wall in a South Indian village. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and walks ahead of the others. Several men flank him in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shawls, rudraksha malas and shaved or white-marked foreheads. A tiled-roof house and a green-painted fence stand in the background.
