A photograph of a seated figure in a bright orange-red robe and a long white and green flower garland with a gold pendant, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in white dhoti and kurta with an orange shawl. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and a bare shoulder, sitting on a white-covered couch against a gold draped backdrop with white flower strings. A woman in white sari with orange border and a rudraksha mala stands to the right. Green floor covering is scattered with flower petals.

A seated man on a gilded, red-cushioned throne under a flower-garlanded umbrella is receiving a kneeling devotee on a white stage. The seated figure wears a cream turban, a deep red silk jacket, a white dhoti, and a thick multicolour rose garland, and holds a small white paper. He has a red tilak mark on his forehead and appears to be bestowing a blessing by placing a hand on the devotee's head. The kneeling devotee wears a white shirt and white trousers with bare feet. Behind them a man in an orange robe stands, and to the right an attendant in white holds a rudraksha mala. Red and white petals are scattered on the stage, and a brass owl-shaped ornament sits beside the throne.

A seated figure in flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, surrounded by yellow, pink and red flower garlands. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red pendant bends forward and touches the seated figure's hand near his face, while the figure holds a wooden staff. A woman in white with an orange shawl stands behind on the left, and a gold-draped backdrop with pink and blue fabric frames the scene, with a water bottle and flowers on the stage.

A seated man in saffron robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, his right hand resting on the head of an elderly man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bends forward, leaning on a blue cane. A younger attendant in orange robes and a gold-beaded garland stands behind the throne. Behind them hang yellow and orange marigold garlands and a flower arrangement of pink and yellow gerbera daisies. A tray of flowers and offerings sits on a white-draped table. Red carpet covers the floor. The seated man has long swept-back hair, orange robes and a crown-less throne setting, which matches the appearance-based cues for a person, shown here as a blessing being given to a devotee.

A seated man in a flowing orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a red footstool, with a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair. A woman in a white sari with gold border stands at his left, bending toward him, and a man in white shirt and trousers leans in from the right and touches his arm. Another man in orange robe stands at the far right. The throne sits before a backdrop decorated with yellow flower arrangement and a red flower Om symbol, with marigold garlands and a floral arch above. A striped rug covers the floor in front.

A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a golden footstool, holding a blue sheet of paper and a pen while reading or signing. Beside him stands a bearded man in an orange robe and a rudraksha mala with glasses. Two men in white shirts and white trousers lean in from the left, one in a denim jacket, and a person in white stands at the right edge. Behind them are a checked green-and-cream backdrop and garlands of yellow gerbera daisies and white flowers, with a red carpet underfoot.

A photograph in a hall with red velvet drapes. A man with grey hair, wearing a white kurta and a rudraksha mala with a small name badge, kneels on a white-draped platform and touches the forehead of a seated figure. That seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, wears an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, and sits on a white-covered couch beside a tall brass oil lamp with a flame and flower. Behind them a man in orange robes sits on the floor, and a potted palm stands at left. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so the in-person candidate is probable, while the kneeling devotee in white is a devotee.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe and red sleeveless top, long dark hair swept back, smiling with palms pressed together in greeting. A devotee in white dhoti and shirt kneels low before him, hands folded, head bowed near his feet on a red patterned rug. Behind, a younger man in orange robes sits, and a row of men in white dhotis with orange shawls stands at the left. A red curtain, a wall plaque with names, and a carved stone niche with a brass vessel appear in the background. A wooden seat draped with an orange cloth and a cushion sits beside the figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron clothing and has long swept-back hair, receiving a devotee in a darshan setting.
