A photograph inside a marble-walled hall of a man in a white shirt and white trousers with spectacles and a moustache reaching out to offer a small silver-coloured object to a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange-red saffron garment, a long gold bead necklace with a pendant, a red floral headband and a sandalwood-marked forehead, and sits on a red-cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne with a sunburst back. Behind them a standing man in an orange-and-yellow robe with a gold bead necklace and a shaved head smiles, and a crowd of onlookers in white and blue crowds the frame. A hand with bracelets reaches in from the right. The figure appears to be a person by appearance, with long hair swept back, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing, seated in an honoured position.

A photograph inside a red-and-orange tent decorated with long garlands of marigolds, roses and other flowers in yellow, red, purple and white. A figure with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a brown-orange garment, a red and white flower garland and gold bangles, sits on a raised cushioned seat beside a gold-coated ceremonial staff and a gold vessel. Two men in white shirts and dark trousers and a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe with a sacred thread stand at right, one with palms joined. Overhead stage lights and rigging are visible. The figure is seated and attended, with a devotee in white holding up an object toward them.

A photograph of a seated man in a red-brown garment with a rudraksha mala and a layered white and yellow flower garland, sitting on a gold-coloured throne beside a golden lion-headed armrest. He extends his arm and hands toward a crowd of devotees pressing close, several reaching out with folded hands. Behind him stands a large deity murti decorated with yellow and red flower garlands, and a gold figure of a standing attendant on the left. A man in a bright orange top stands near him, and a woman in a dark outfit sits in the background.

A photograph in a red-draped hall shows a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a brown rudraksha-style mala seated on a red cushioned throne, his hand extended to a kneeling devotee in a white shirt. Behind the throne is an ornate gold carved backrest with a gold deity relief, and a gold lion-headed armrest. A trident stands upright beside the seat. Around him, men in white and orange-trimmed clothing crowd close, one wearing a gold chain, and a video camera on a tripod stands at the upper left. A bald priest in orange robes stands in the background. Printed copyright and source text sits at the lower right.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, and rudraksha malas, seated on a red throne with gold lion-head armrests under a white and red tent. A woman in white with a red-bordered sari kneels before him, touching his hand, while a bare-chested man in orange with a yellow and white bead necklace stands behind. Several women in orange and saffron garments with beaded necklaces, some holding offerings, gather around, and more devotees in white stand in the background. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate based on his long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and garland. The scene resembles a devotional puja or padapuja at a festival setting.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, wearing an orange-red robe, a rudraksha-style brown bead mala across the chest, and a red-and-white tilak mark on the forehead. Three devotees in orange kneel and lean toward him: one in orange holds a red apple and an open illustrated book showing a painted landscape, another in orange and rudraksha beads sits beside him, and a woman in orange with a tilak is seated at the right. Colourful tassels and a decorated backdrop frame the scene. Visible people: five.
