A photograph of an outdoor scene beside a white car. A man with long dreadlocks and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead wears a rust-red robe and a pink and white flower garland, and is lifting one hand to his head. Beside him a man in orange robes and gold-trimmed clothing holds a silver tray with a gold-bordered orange cloth and a green leaf. A woman in orange stands in the background near a red wall, with palm trees and a billboard behind. The man with dreadlocks does not clearly match a person appearance, so the candidate is uncertain.

Outdoor photograph on a paved path beside a red boundary wall and green trees. A man with long matted dreadlocks, a sandalwood-and-white forehead mark, a gold chain necklace and a rust-red dhoti-style robe holds a pink and white flower garland up toward the window of a white car. A second man with a white forehead mark stands behind him, and a third man in orange clothing at the right holds a brass tray with green leaves and an orange cloth, appearing to offer an aarti-style welcome. The passenger in the car is partly visible through the glass. The man in the foreground, with dreadlocks, rudraksha-style gold adornments and ceremonial dress, matches the appearance cues associated with a person; the attribution remains an appearance-based label only.

A man with long dark hair, a rust-brown saffron-toned wrap and heavy gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beads stands beside a white car, placing his hand on a large tray of red and white flowers. Beside him, a young man in an orange turban and orange wrap holds a green and gold decorated bundle with a flower-filled vessel on top, while a man with white sacred ash marks and a beaded mala stands behind. Several people in orange turbans are visible in the background near a covered walkway, with palm trees above. The scene suggests a padapuja or welcome ceremony, with Swamiji (probable) appearing as the man in the centre-right wearing the heavy gold necklaces and long swept-back hair.

A photograph of an arrival at an outdoor street location beside a parked dark car with its door open. A man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and bandaged upper arms bows his head while another man in a saffron-orange robe with a red border places a garland of white and pink flowers over his shoulders. A third person in an orange robe stands at right with back turned, and a camera is visible beside them. A person in red-orange clothing sits inside the car. Trees and a building are in the background.

A bearded man with long, curly black hair and a red vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead stands outdoors in saffron-orange robes, holding a silver tray with a clear glass pot wrapped in white jasmine garland. A coconut and green leaves rest on top of the pot. Behind him are a silver SUV, palm trees, a concrete-block wall, and an orange flag at the top edge. The setting is a dusty ground. The man is a devotee or priest; his appearance shows long hair and saffron clothing but not distinctive enough cues to confirm the a person candidate.

Outdoor scene under a leafy tree near a dark vehicle. On the left, a man with long swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange shawl over his body, a long red-and-white flower garland and a gold-beaded neck garland, and smiles while a hand touches his head. On the right, a shaved-headed priest in a red-brown dhoti with a yellow border holds a brass kalasha decorated with yellow and red flowers, a pink lotus and green leaves, and wears a long rudraksha mala and bead armlets. Behind them a man in a white shirt holds his hands in anjali, and a cameraman films with a camera. Greeting and kalasha welcome ritual.

Outdoor welcome on a tree-lined road with parked white vehicles behind. A man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a long yellow-green bead garland stands at centre, smiling and reaching toward a brass-and-flower tray held by a man in white dhoti and shirt. Beside him a bare-chested priest in white dhoti holds a yellow-decorated kalasha wrapped in red flower garlands, and a man in white shirt and orange shawl stands close. A man in white shirt kneels in the foreground, and a basket of red flowers is held on the right. The orange-robed figure is a person appearance-based candidate with saffron robe, long swept hair and a bead garland, shown as welcomed by the devotees, so a person is in_person.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-orange cloth wrap, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace with a temple-shaped pendant. He bows his head and lifts both hands to his hair, wearing red-and-white bead garlands, orange and yellow marigold garlands, and red bead bracelets. A white car with a 'MAHAMANDALESHWAR' label stands behind him, with a floral-decorated vehicle or altar with white jasmine garlands at the right edge. Brick wall and green trees appear in the background. The man has long, swept-back hair, distinctive gold and bead adornments, and a rudraksha mala; the printed page links this photo to a person, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
