Indoor satsang hall under a tented ceiling with orange and white drapes. A central figure wears a rust-red turban, long dark hair, a layered gold-and-beaded necklace, and an orange-red robe with a gold border; the figure holds a curved walking staff and appears to be handing papers or a small item to those nearby. Another seated person in a saffron-orange robe and beaded mala reaches forward, and several men in orange and yellow turbans and sashes stand or sit around, some holding white papers. To the left, an altar displays deity images and a golden framed picture under green and red hangings.

A stage at an outdoor satsang event under a white tent canopy. A woman in an orange-red turban and matching saffron robe with a rudraksha mala sits on an orange throne at left, gesturing with her hand toward a man in white-and-gold headwear and a bead necklace seated beside her. An older man in an orange robe sits in the center on an orange throne, bending forward. A standing man in a pale peach-coloured shawl stands at right facing them, and attendants in orange shirts stand behind. Behind them a gilded ornate arch with a golden canopy and carved deity figures frames the stage, with flower garlands visible at left.

A crowd of saffron-clad sadhus and devotees gathers outdoors in an orange-tented camp. In the centre, an elderly bearded man with long grey hair, wearing an orange-red robe and a beaded mala with large pink-red beads, gestures with raised palms as others press forward. To his right, a man with long dark hair and an orange shawl over a white kurta holds a silver ritual staff, while a bald man in a white garment and glasses stands nearby. A young man in an orange turban stands at the left edge, and a shaved-headed priest in orange holds a bead necklace at the lower right. Orange canopies and a saffron tent fill the background. Identity uncertain; roles only.

Outdoor photo under a canopy of yellow and red draped cloth at an Ujjain gathering of saffron-clad sadhus and devotees. In the foreground, a long-haired man in orange clothing, a red turban, a gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha-style beads sits cross-legged on a red and patterned carpet, with a yellow-robed woman in a marigold garland beside him. Around them, sadhus in orange and white sit and stand, and a man in white dhoti with a gold-trimmed shawl holds a ceremonial staff topped with a trident. Marigold garlands and a red cushion appear nearby, and a mixed group of seated and standing people fills the background.

A photograph of an outdoor stage event with a row of seated saffron-robed men on ornate gold-armed chairs beneath a striped teal, red and yellow canopy, with marigold garlands hanging at the top left. On the far left, a man with long curly hair and a saffron robe sits with bare feet. Next to him, a younger man with long swept-back hair wears a saffron robe and a rudraksha mala. In the centre, a bald, white-bearded elder in saffron sits beside a man in an orange turban holding a microphone at a white-draped table. Other saffron-clad men with shaved heads and bearded faces sit along the right. A red and gold ceremonial seat stands behind them, and a blue floor mat covers the stage.

Outdoor satsang gathering under an orange tarpaulin canopy with bright sunlight. Foreground, an elderly bearded man in orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a garland of yellow-orange flowers and a rudraksha-style necklace, holds a folded white paper and extends his hand toward a younger man. That younger man sits smiling in a deep maroon-red turban and maroon-red wrap with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold-beaded necklaces, and gestures with an open hand. Around them, many devotees in saffron-orange robes sit close together, and a white ceremonial staff with a curved top rises in the centre. The younger man has distinctive long hair, a maroon turban, and gold necklaces, consistent with the page's description, so this appearance-based candidate is labelled as probable Swamiji.

Outdoor photo under a yellow-and-white canopy at an assembly of saffron-clad sadhus. A tall man with long dark dreadlocks, an orange-brown turban, a saffron-brown robe and gold necklaces and bangles reaches forward with his right arm to touch or bless the crown of a seated elder in orange robes and a yellow turban, who has a flower garland. Behind them stand bearded men in orange and red robes, a man in a yellow turban, a bald man in glasses, and a cameraman filming with a video camera. A man in white at left holds a silver-rimmed drum and a red and gold garment. Another seated elder with a white beard and rudraksha beads sits at lower right. The Swamiji candidate is a probable match: the tall man has long swept-back dreadlocks, a turban, distinctive gold ornaments and an orange-brown robe, but the identification is based on appearance only.
