A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe with a gold-striped border, wearing layered rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, smiling and extending his hand toward a kneeling man in a light green shirt who holds out an apple. Another man in a patterned green garment bends forward beside him. Behind the seated figure stand a golden throne with ornate carving, brass oil lamps, and a second seated man in orange robes with a shaved head, yellow forehead marking and spectacles, wearing a brown beaded mala. A standing person in white clothing with a beaded mala stands at the back. Apples sit on a tray in the lower left.

A seated man in a rust-red turban with a red tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate silver throne backdrop. He wears a red-orange shawl with gold border over his shoulders and a long mala of rudraksha beads, with a gold chain beneath, and a lapel microphone is clipped near his face. His hands rest clasped in his lap. Behind him, marigold and red floral garlands frame a golden deity murti. A small framed photo sits at the left edge. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in a satsang setting.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste. He wears a long white and red flower garland and a gold necklace, with long dark hair visible. Two saffron-clad attendants lean in: one with a shaved head and one with long grey-streaked hair and beard, who wave a lit flame or aarti before him over a silver tray with flowers. Behind the throne are garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses, a gold trident, and a brass spire. Two women in orange saris sit at the right edge, hands folded.

A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet backrest, wearing an orange saffron robe with maroon borders and a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest. He has a red tilak on his forehead and his hands rest folded in his lap. In the foreground, the back of a person's dark hair and a white garment are visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ornate gilded seat are consistent with the page's claim, so the figure is labelled as a probable in-person candidate.

A bearded man with long swept-back hair sits on an ornate silver throne covered with leopard-print upholstery, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, rudraksha armbands, and a red bindi with white vibhuti markings on his forehead. A silver lion-shaped armrest is at right and a red curtain hangs behind him. One person is visible.

A ceremonial puja scene in a hall with a golden throne backed by a large flower-garland arrangement in red, yellow, green and white. Seated on the right, a man in an orange-red turban, gold necklaces and a red floral garland sits on the gilded throne with a trident-like staff beside it, appearing to be the honoured figure of the ceremony. Adjacent, a shaved-headed man in an orange-red wrap and dark rudraksha mala sits in front of a small brass lamp, a silver bowl and offerings, with a white-clad priest in a rudraksha mala and tilak beside him. Bananas, a kalasha-type silver vessel, flower-decorated trays and a purple-cloth vessel are arranged in front. Appearance-based candidate: a person on the throne, with his gold-necklace and garland cues visible.
