A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and red top, with a red bindi, a white pearl necklace, gold pendant and rudraksha malas, smiling as he receives a folded white paper from an older man in a white shirt who holds his palms cupped together. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white and an orange-robed monk stand near a silver tray at the bottom edge. The man in red has long swept-back hair and a crown-free but ornate, distinctive presentation with multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role of receiving a petition. Background includes yellow and orange drapes.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and rudraksha malas receiving a folded paper from an older man in a white shirt at an indoor gathering. The man in red has a red tilak on his forehead, a white pearl necklace with a gold pendant, and rudraksha bead armbands. Swamiji (probable), appearing as the man in red with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, is receiving the paper. Behind him a bald man in orange robes stands at right beside a silver tray, and other people in white clothes stand in the background.

A photograph of an exchange at a seated ceremonial setting. An older man with short white hair, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a dark rudraksha mala, stands facing right and smiles while accepting a folded paper from a younger man seated on a gilded golden throne with red upholstery. The seated man wears an orange robe and a long orange shawl, and has long dark hair tied back. Behind them, other people in orange robes and white clothing stand near a white curtain, and a gold ornamental decoration and fruit sit in the foreground.

A photograph of an indoor event in a decorated hall with gold and orange drapes. A man in an orange-saffron robe with a red and gold flower garland, a tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair stands at the centre, holding a printed pamphlet and reading it. Two men in white shirts stand to the left, one with palms pressed together in greeting. Several men in white and a bald man in orange stand behind. Behind them, a large portrait of a smiling bald man in orange hangs on a gold-framed backdrop. Several people, all visible, are present.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, adorned with rudraksha malas and a gold ornament, smiling as he touches the head of a kneeling white-haired man in a white shirt who holds red flower petals from a red box.

Indoor photo at an ashram hall. A long-haired man in saffron-orange cloth with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and a large ornate gold pendant and gold necklaces stands at centre, smiling and holding a folded paper while facing an elderly bald man in a white shirt with a white forehead mark who has his hands together in greeting. Other devotees in white and pink shirts, a man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads, and a shaved-headed attendant in saffron stand nearby. Behind them is a tray of offerings and a large framed portrait of a saffron-turbaned man on a red backdrop with golden decorations.

Photograph of a man in saffron-orange draped cloth, bare-chested with a long swept-back hairstyle, a crown-like hair tie, a gold earring and a long rudraksha mala of brown beads, smiling as he hands an object across to a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who wears a gold wristwatch and extends his hand. Other men stand behind them in white and light shirts, one with a vertical white tilak on his forehead, in a pillared hall with arched windows and a blue-painted panel. The white-clad man appears to be receiving something from the saffron-clad man in a devotional setting.

A photograph of a darshan-style exchange. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a red-orange shawl leans forward, joining hands over a silver tray with a seated man in a red sleeveless top draped with a pink-red flower garland and yellow marigold garland. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair and smiles. Behind them stand a man in glasses and an orange robe, and a golden ornate panel, green-yellow textured backdrop, and red zebra-patterned seat cushions. Orange and red flowers and fronds are on the table. The seated man has long hair, a flower garland and a red sleeveless top, but no saffron-only robe, crown or rudraksha is clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a ceremonial exchange under a white canopy hung with colourful striped pillars. A man with long dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, a red saffron-coloured shawl and a heavy gold-beaded necklace accepts a folded paper from an elderly white-haired man in a white kurta and shawl, who bends forward and offers it with both hands. A man in a dark striped shirt stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste. Other men in white dhotis and an orange-robed attendant stand nearby, and a tray of food offerings sits in the foreground. The attendant on the far right wears orange robes. The man with long hair has appearance cues of distinctive long hair, a red shawl and gold ceremonial necklace, which fit the Swamiji (probable) label; he is receiving a petition in a role of honour.
