Close photograph of a young light-haired child in a white garment with gold brocade trim at the collar, looking intently to one side with pursed lips. Behind him, out of focus, an older woman with grey hair leans forward, and warm orange and red fabric blurs the background. No swami is visible in this frame, so no appearance-based candidate is present.

A young boy with curly blond hair sits in a beige chair during a seated ritual, holding a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame in his right hand. He wears a gold satin vest over a white collared shirt, with a dark beaded mala and red lanyard around his neck and a red bracelet on his wrist. Behind him, several men in white ritual clothes sit on the floor, one with a beard, in a hall with a warm setting.

A young boy with white vibhuti ash marks on his forehead and arms and a red kumkum dot sits cross-legged on a red velvet-covered seat. He wears a white dhoti-style cloth with orange borders draped over his shoulder and a thin cord around his neck. Behind him are a red zebra-patterned cushion, an orange towel, and a vase of yellow flowers on a gold-toned ledge, with strands of rudraksha or prayer beads visible at right. The setting suggests an ashram satsang hall. No adult is visible in the frame.

Women in orange clothing with rudraksha beads and gold bangles sit close by, and a silver foil container and orange cup rest on the floor. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the figures are devotees.
