Night-time darshan: a smiling figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head cloth sits on a red upholstered chair, resting his hands on the head of a devotee who kneels in front in a white shirt. The devotee's head is bowed and palms are pressed together. Two people in white stand left, a woman with glasses and dark hair is partly visible in the lower-left corner, and oil lamps glow in the background. a person: the saffron robes, orange head cloth and seated central position align with the page's claim, though the face is not used for identification.

Two people in white ritual clothes stand at left, one in an orange shawl, and a woman in pink at right.

Indoor photo of a seated ritual scene on a patterned rug. On the right, a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a heavy gold necklace sits and applies a mark to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white checked shirt and grey trousers, who holds a small cup or dish. Behind them, an older bearded man in an orange-brown cloth and head wrap sits. Above, a framed black-and-white portrait shows a standing figure with a staff and head wrap, beside a small red and white altar piece. A standing man in a maroon shirt and orange dhoti is at the left edge.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a dark rudraksha mala and gold ornaments sits on an ornate gold and red throne, placing vibhuti or a blessing mark on the forehead of a bespectacled older man in an orange kurta with a white shawl, who presses his palms together in respect. A woman in a red-and-gold sari with a mala stands at left with hands folded, and a shaven-headed priest in white dhoti with a sacred thread stands behind. A tray of flowers and offerings sits on a table. The background wall has a dark sign with white lettering, and a small deity murti stands in an alcove at right.

A photograph of an indoor ritual in a room with bright green curtains. A long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe and a garland of white flowers and rudraksha beads sits on a white-covered seat, extending a hand toward a golden vessel held by an older attendant in orange, wearing a beaded necklace. In the foreground, a man in a white kurta kneels on a patterned red rug, while a man in a checked shirt stands at left and another man in white stands at right. A man in orange robes with a rudraksha necklace stands at far right. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron-coloured robes with a flower garland, a cue consistent with the page's a person reference, but the appearance is not conclusive.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a red undergarment, sitting on a white and silver brocade throne cushioned with red bolsters. Behind them a wall of yellow marigold garlands hangs. A man in a white kurta, with a silver wristwatch, leans in and places a hand on the seated figure's forehead, while his other hand rests on their knee. On the left an older woman in a beige sari stands watching, and a person in a blue shirt is partly visible at the right edge. Several people are visible.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.
