A man with a shaved head, red bindi and a saffron-orange wrap with gold border stands at left, raising one hand in greeting, with a rudraksha-style mala of orange beads around his neck. Beside him is a golden canopy shrine holding two adorned deity murti seated on a red-draped platform, one in purple garments and one in green, both heavily garlanded with red and orange flowers. Deep maroon velvet drapes hang behind, and a standing fan is visible at right.

A man in a rust-orange and gold dhoti-style garment with a gold ceremonial necklace and a rudraksha-style mala stands at left, smiling and raising his right hand in a blessing gesture, wearing gold bangles and a red bindi. To the right, two dressed deity murti sit on a dark teal cloth-draped seat in front of an ornate gold carved arch, garlanded with yellow and red flowers. The seated figures wear silver ornaments and crowns; one holds a trident-like staff. Burgundy velvet drapes form the backdrop.

A seated man in orange-saffron robes and a pink-and-cream turban with a gold ornament stands near the front of a stage draped in red fabric. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a thick beaded shawl, and heavy gold necklaces, and his eyes are closed. Beside him, a seated man in grey clothing is partly visible at the left edge. Behind them, a golden throne-like seat holds a woman in an orange-red outfit with a yellow turban and gold necklaces, and a gilded deity murti in red and gold garments decorated with white and red flower garlands stands on the right. A red banner with partly visible lettering runs along the bottom of the stage. Swamiji (probable) appears in the foreground, identified by his saffron robes, rudraksha mala, gold necklaces and turban cues.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a gold-carved throne in front of a large golden-and-orange backdrop. He wears layered gold and beaded necklaces, red and white flower garlands, gold bangles and an orange shawl, and raises one hand in blessing. Beside him stands a tall silver trident on a pole. Behind him are two large decorated deity murti figures with painted faces, crowns, red-orange draped garments, garlands and ornate silver ornaments, one holding a staff and the other a raised hand. a person is seated in front, with saffron clothing, a rudraksha-style gold necklace and garlands as the qualifying cues. Red and gold decorated banners hang at the left edge.

A photograph of a standing man in saffron-orange robes with a long, loose drape over the shoulders, wearing a gold headband and a heavy gold bead necklace with a pendant. He stands to the left of a seated, gold-toned statue of a deity in orange garments with a crown and jewelled ornaments, holding a sword and a small hand-held object. Marigold and red flower garlands, yellow and purple cloth surround the seated figure. The standing man gestures toward a silver-and-gold ritual tray with decorative tassels at lower left. The setting is a temple platform with a gold-trimmed arch behind. The standing man is a person candidate based on the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, gold headband and gold necklace, but the appearance is partially obscured and the identification is uncertain. Two other people are faintly visible in the background at the doorway.

A photograph of a standing man in an orange-brown ochre robe with a matching shawl over the shoulder and a long rudraksha-style bead mala around his neck, his left arm bandaged in white and his right hand raised in greeting. Behind him stands an ornate gold arch framing two decorated deity murtis seated on a red silk-draped platform, garlanded with red roses and yellow marigolds, one wearing a purple garment with a silver crown and the other in a red sari with a jewelled crown. A blue ocean wave backdrop and a standing fan sit at the right edge, with dark maroon curtains behind. The man's appearance is consistent with a person, given his saffron-ochre robes and rudraksha mala, though the image alone is not conclusive.

A man with long dark hair and an orange robe sits on an orange upholstered armchair with his bare feet resting on an orange-draped footstool, a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a gilded arched shrine holds two gold-crowned deity murtis with garlands of yellow and red flowers, one holding a trident and the other standing beside a golden kalasha-shaped sculpture. Brass oil lamps, fruit offerings and a small brass tray stand on the stone ledge, with a small white-robed sage figurine on the altar. The floor is covered with orange cloth.

A standing figure in a rust-orange embroidered silk robe with gold zari paisley patterns, a gold ornate crown, a gold pendant necklace and a long orange-beaded garland poses beside two deity murti seated on a golden throne canopy. The central murti wears a gold crown, a gold-yellow sash, and a flower garland; the right murti wears a pink-and-gold crown, a flower garland and a silver trident-like staff. Gold mesh drapes frame the seated figures, with red and white draped backdrops behind. The standing figure raises one hand in a greeting gesture. The figure's appearance is consistent with the description on the page, but the face-free appearance cues here are ornate clothing and crown, so the person is labelled as a probable Swamiji in person.
