A photograph inside a hall with pink walls and decorative colourful tassel hangings. In the centre, a smiling man with swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron garment with gold borders and a heavy gold-beaded garland; he appears to be the Swamiji (probable), given his saffron clothing, ornate gold necklaces and swept-back hair. Beside him, a shaved-headed attendant in matching orange robes and gold necklace holds a white tray with gold items and has white markings on his arm. To the left, a man in a black polo shirt with a lanyard presses his palms together, while a man in a white shirt bends forward in front of him. Several other people in white, grey and light blue shirts stand behind, and a projection screen is visible at upper right.

Indoor photograph of a religious ceremony in a pink-walled room with a framed deity print on the wall and a brass oil lamp at right. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a dark rudraksha mala and an orange saffron wrap stands at left with hands folded. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes reaches out to clasp the hands of a bare-chested priest wearing a red shawl with gold border and white dhoti, who stands before brass vessels and a bell. A bearded man in orange robes sits at right, and a yellow-saree-clad woman is partly visible at far left. Several figures in the room are visible, and the scene appears to be a formal blessing or ordination exchange.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long gold necklace and a red-and-white garland, sitting barefoot on a white cloth-covered chair in a hall with a striped mat floor. Around him sit saffron-clad devotees, some with white-painted foreheads and rudraksha malas, and older men in white dhotis. A bare-chested man in a blue-and-red dhoti stands in the background, and a man in white with a red mala and a multicoloured waist cloth stands at right holding a microphone. A figure seated at lower centre wears white and has a grey beard. The seated central figure has a sandalwood-marked forehead and long dark hair; the candidate is shown with cues consistent with the page's description of a person.

A photograph of a ceremonial scene indoors with a white ceiling, recessed lights and a gold-decorated seat at right. A man in a yellow-orange robe with a red-orange sash stands at centre, with a tilak and a trident-topped staff with a crescent behind him, receiving an offering. A bare-chested sadhu with grey-white ash and beard in orange cloth stands beside him. A man in a red-orange turban and beaded silver jewellery kneels at right, leaning forward and holding out an orange cloth. Other devotees in orange and red robes stand around, one in white with a rudraksha mala behind. a person cues appear on the central figure: a trident staff, saffron robe and tilak, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.

Photo of an indoor reception in a marble-walled hall with a blue lift door in the background. An elderly bald man with white forehead markings and a red-and-gold headband, wearing a rudraksha mala and orange cloth draped over his bare upper body, sits on a gold and maroon throne and gestures with raised hands toward a man in white. A younger man in an orange robe with a red-and-gold headband and a garland sits beside the throne. A standing man in orange with a white shawl and a long beaded necklace watches. On the right, a smiling man in white shirt and white dhoti, holding a white cloth, faces the seated figure, with another man in white beside him. A tray of apples and a box of sweets sit on an orange-draped table with a silver urn.
