A photograph of a devotional gathering at an ashram. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulder, ornate gold-toned necklaces, and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, and extends his hand to greet a smiling man in white dhoti and shawl with a white-and-red forehead mark. Around them, devotees in casual clothes, a boy in a yellow shirt, and a young man in a black top stand close, and a silver tray with garlands is visible at the right edge. Behind them, more people in white ritual clothing and a red-and-white pillar complete the setting. Appearance-based cues on the central figure are distinctive, so he is a probable candidate for a person shown in person.

A photograph of a crowded indoor event where a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a long gold-bead necklace and gold bangle, extends his hands to a devotee. The man has long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha-style gold necklace and is the probable Swamiji by appearance, presenting a distinctive saffron robe and ornate gold ornaments. Beside him a smiling man in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border and a white forehead mark receives him. Several people in casual and white clothing, including a man in a blue striped shirt and a boy in yellow, stand around them, and a silver tray with gold items is visible at right.

Photograph of a temple gathering in which a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace, long swept-back hair and a gold chain, gestures with an open hand toward a smiling man in a white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-gold border. Several men stand around them, including one in a white dhoti with hands folded in namaste, a man in a blue striped shirt and a young man in a black t-shirt. A silver tray holding brass items sits on a wooden box at right, and a decorated yellow-and-red pillar stands behind. The saffron-clad man has distinctive long hair and saffron/orange robes with rudraksha-style beads, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person. Several other people stand in the background.

A seated figure appears at left in a red shirt. a person: the central man has long dark hair and rudraksha malas over an orange robe, but these cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role as a devotee-type figure in orange.
