A photograph of a house visit in a garden courtyard with a silver car parked at left and a fountain behind. A woman with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron sari and a white-and-yellow garland, stands at centre with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside her, a man in white dhoti and shirt holds a silver tray with a brass lamp and offerings. A man in white with glasses and a white shirt reaches toward the tray. A woman in an orange sari bends low at right, touching the ground, and a woman in a blue floral top stands at the edge. Several men in white dhotis and orange or yellow shawls stand behind, some with hands folded, one wearing a rudraksha-style necklace. Tropical plants and frangipani trees surround the scene.

A photograph of an outdoor ritual welcome at a courtyard with a tiled roof and palm trees behind. In the centre, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe with a multicoloured and white flower garland stands with his hands near a silver tray. A woman in an orange-brown sari with jasmine in her hair holds a silver tray with a brass kalasha topped by a coconut, decorated with yellow flowers and green leaves. Bending forward in white clothes at the lower left is another devotee, while a man in a white dhoti with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala stands at the left, and a man in an orange shawl with folded hands stands beside them. Several other men in white and dark trousers stand in the background beside a white car.

A photograph of a covered outdoor porch with a concrete floor and a pale yellow wall. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti-wrap with a long rudraksha mala and long dark swept-back hair stands barefoot on a round metal plate, smiling. A man in white kneels and holds a small lit oil lamp toward him. Around them stand devotees: a man in white with a white cap, a bald man in white and a gold-bordered dhoti, a man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, and women in dark tops watching. A tree trunk wrapped in marigold garlands and banana leaves stands behind, and a silver car is parked beyond. A brass vessel is visible at the right edge.

A man in a saffron-orange robe with a long white-and-red flower garland, dark hair falling past his shoulders, walks forward smiling and gesturing with one hand. Behind him a woman in a white sari with a red border carries a silver kalasha with a green leaf and yellow marigold garland, a ritual pot offering. Men in white shirts and white trousers walk nearby, and another man in orange stands behind. At right a child in a blue kurta stands with palms pressed together in greeting. A white-draped table holds a brass lamp, flowers and a plate at left. Appearance-based probable Swamiji cues are the long hair, saffron robe and garland, so he is labelled as probable.
