Four men stand on a stage before a red drape with a carved golden pillar at left. At far left, a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and wrist bands looks toward the stage. In the centre, a man in a white and pink checked shirt wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. At right, a long-haired bearded man in a rust-brown kurta wears a red and white lanyard with an ID badge and a red tilak on his forehead. At far right edge a hand holds a microphone. Appearance-based identity is uncertain, so no candidate is confirmed.

Four men stand on a stage before a deep red draped backdrop with a gold-and-orange carved pillar at the left edge. On the far left a shaved-headed man in rust-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands behind a second man in a checked short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, with a yellow tilak on his forehead. Third from the right, a bearded man with long hair wears a rust-orange kurta and orange dhoti with a red-and-white ID lanyard, hands clasped. On the right a man with long hair, yellow tilak and a brown rudraksha mala speaks into a handheld microphone, wearing a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders and gold necklaces.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red turban with a jewelled ornament and a vertical tilak on his forehead, smiling with eyes closed. He wears layered rudraksha-style brown beaded malas, a gold pendant, and an orange-and-yellow shawl over his shoulder, seated on an ornate gold throne with a red backdrop and warm lighting. Beside him, a man in a white kurta with an orange-bordered shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste, leaning toward him. The seated figure has distinctive long-style presentation cues including turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, matching the page's Swamiji reference as a probable identification by appearance.

Photograph of two men seated in cushioned chairs on a red-carpeted stage before a wooden door and several microphone stands. The man on the left wears a yellow-orange shawl with a green-and-maroon border over a saffron-coloured garment and has a red tilak on his forehead; his hair is short and tousled. The man on the right wears a white-and-blue striped collared shirt, glasses and a pen in his pocket, and sits with his hands clasped. Both look toward the same direction. No identity is established from appearance.

A photograph of a ritual scene before a large deity murti draped in orange and blue silk with garlands of red and orange flowers. A bare-chested young priest in white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and rudraksha-style beaded necklace holds a small ritual vessel and a lamp over a brass plate. Beside him an older man in a white shirt stands with his palms extended to receive the offering. Two women at the left, one in a green sari with pink and gold border and another in a green headscarf, watch. A brass tray, small oil lamps and a tall gold kalasha-style stand sit on the table. Orange cloth hangs behind.

In the left foreground a young priest with bare chest, hair in a topknot, a sacred thread and a white dhoti with orange border offers a tray with pink and white flowers, a garland and a plate of offerings to the seated men. Red curtains and red-cushioned chairs line the back of the room.
