A photograph in a plain blue-walled room with barred windows and a pale marble floor. A seated man in an orange robe and orange turban, with a rudraksha mala, smiles and gestures with raised hands while sitting on a low bed covered in a patterned cloth. In front of him, an older grey-haired man in white shirt and dhoti sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. Two men in white kneel to the right, one with hands folded and a garland of flowers beside him, and a standing man on the far right wears a long white robe with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, hands clasped. Scattered flower petals lie on the floor. Since the page identifies the seated figure as Swamiji, and his appearance shows an orange turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, the seated man is a probable Swamiji (probable).

Indoor photograph of a room with a white wall, exposed wooden ceiling beams and a ceiling fan, and an open cream-colored wooden door at right. A person in a long orange sleeveless garment wears a white and red flower garland and smiles while standing near a wooden chair and a small framed picture on the wall. Beside them stands a man with a beard in a white short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti, hands clasped, looking toward the garlanded person. Two people are visible in total. The orange-clad figure has long dark hair and a distinctive orange robe with a garland; the appearance is suggestive but not enough to confirm identity.

Indoor photograph in a plain room with pale blue walls and barred windows. A figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban, wearing a long rudraksha mala, sits seated on the left edge beside a bed with a white sheet. Three men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around him, one pointing, and an older man with white hair on the right is in white. A folded orange and gold cloth lies on the bed. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair under the turban and a rudraksha mala, but his face is not used for identification; the appearance cues are partial, so the figure is described by role as a seated sannyasi in saffron.

A photograph of a devotee gathering indoors. A seated man in an orange turban, orange robe and a multicoloured flower garland sits on a white-draped couch, hand raised in a blessing gesture. Before him, a man in white with hands pressed together in namaskar bows, while a bald man with grey hair sits in front in white. Men in white shirts and dhotis with rudraksha-style malas and orange shawls stand and sit around, and a woman in white is at the left edge. Behind them hang patterned orange and white drapes and a white ceiling. The seated figure has distinctive orange turban, saffron robe and garlands, a presentation compatible with a person, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity.

A photo taken in a plain room with white walls, a wooden-framed bed with orange cloth on it, and windows with frosted panes. On the left, a man with long dark hair and a sleeveless orange robe stands smiling with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, wearing gold-rimmed sunglasses and a gold watch, also presses his palms together and smiles. A third man in a white shirt and light trousers with a belt stands behind them. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and matching saffron clothing, which is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person.
