Photograph of a crowded event hall with red carpet. In the foreground a man with long dark braided hair and a white floral garland, wearing a rust-red robe, holds out two red apples toward a bearded man in a white kurta with an orange-saffron shawl. The bearded man leans forward to receive them. Behind him a man in a dark red robe with a turban-like wrap and a man in red garments look on. A golden trident-shaped ceremonial staff is visible at right. Women in saffron, pink and yellow saris stand behind, and a video camera on a tripod is at left. A bearded man with a saffron-red robe and beaded rudraksha necklace stands at far right.

A bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and a long beard sits in the foreground wearing a thick red and white rose garland, handing or receiving red fruit. Around him, several men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a cream and gold dhoti with a rudraksha mala, and a man in gold cloth with a rudraksha mala stand or sit. A videographer on a tripod films from the right, and a woman in a teal sari appears in the background beside a wall-mounted air conditioner and maroon curtains. The room has pink walls and red-framed panels. The bearded man with the garland displays distinctive long locks and a bare chest with a rudraksha-style adornment, but his identity is uncertain from appearance, so he is described by role only.

Photograph of two sannyasis facing each other closely in a ceremonial hall. On the left, a young man with long dark hair tied back wears an orange shawl with printed text and a rudraksha mala, his hand extended toward the other. On the right, a bearded man with long dreadlocks, a white forehead marking, a brown-red garment and a dense rudraksha mala with gold ornaments smiles toward him. Behind them, a man in white ritual dress with a white forehead mark and gold necklaces sits smiling, and several people in white dhotis and orange-striped cloth stand in the background near gold-patterned walls.

A photograph of a devotional gathering in a red-carpeted hall. A man in a white checked shirt and dark trousers bends forward to offer or receive red apples from a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a white and pink flower garland, who holds a golden trident-like staff. Behind them, young men in orange robes and rudraksha malas stand near a figure in white with a red sash. A man in a white shirt films with a phone, a cameraman with a video camera stands at right, and a man in a light green shirt watches on the left. Red apples sit on a red cloth in the foreground.

A ceremonial scene in a temple-style hall. A seated man on a gold-and-red throne, wearing a saffron-orange robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands, has a red fruit in his hand. A young man in white dhoti kneels before him, placing a garland or offering at his neck. A shirtless man in a white dhoti and rudraksha mala stands at left, and another in white dhoti kneels nearby with arm bands. A cameraman films from behind. A silver spear and a brass trident stand beside the throne, a decorated umbrella rises at left, and marigold garlands drape a golden deity murti at the upper right. The seated man has long swept-back hair and a full beard, with distinctive saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, so this is a person appearance-based candidate, while the scene is a puja-style darshan.

A ceremonial scene inside a hall with red curtains and a golden canopy at right. In the foreground, a long-haired figure with dark beard, gold earrings, gold armbands and a bright golden garment faces the camera, receiving a red-cloth-wrapped offering from a kneeling young man in white dhoti and orange shawl who holds a small red item in his cupped hands. Behind them a man in white dhoti and yellow-bordered shawl, with white vibhuti on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, stands with his hands folded in anjali. Another priest in white with vibhuti tripundra and beaded neck garlands stands nearby, and several men in white clothes watch from the background.

A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark swept-back hair, a crown-like adornment absent, wearing a white and flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, receiving offerings of fruit from devotees. A man in a navy shirt and glasses bends forward to offer an apple, while a man in orange dhoti and red shawl with a rudraksha mala stands beside him. Behind, a man in white with a trident-shaped golden staff kneels and reaches out, and a cameraman with a video camera and a man photographing with a phone stand near a red throne draped in gold. Several hands extend apples and fruit across the frame. Numerous people in white and orange attire surround the scene. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji with long hair, saffron robes and garlands, seated on the red and gold throne.
