A photograph of a bare-chested man standing outdoors before a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots, with a low stone wall and reddish earth below. He wears a deep maroon-red dhoti draped over one shoulder with a cream-coloured border, layered gold necklaces, a gold armlet and gold bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. His hands are pressed together at his waist in a respectful anjali pose and he gazes to the side with a slight smile. An orange wall and foliage appear in the background.

A man with long, loose dark hair stands outdoors against a blurred tree trunk backdrop. He wears a red-pink draped shawl over bare shoulders, a heavy gold bead necklace with a central gold pendant, a thin silver collar necklace, and gold-and-red beaded armlets and bracelets. He has white tripundra marks and a red bindi on his forehead and holds his hands clasped at his waist. Shown as a portrait, the figure has long swept-back hair, a shawl, and ornate gold jewellery, matching the appearance cues for a probable Swamiji.

A standing man with long, loose dark hair wears a red draped garment over bare shoulders, with a heavy gold beaded necklace, a silver torc, gold armlets and gold bangles. He has white forehead markings and a red bindi, and his hands are clasped at his waist. Blurred tree trunks form the warm background. The appearance is consistent with the Swamiji cues named in the page, including long hair, ornate gold jewellery and red clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure, presented as a single person.

A standing man with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a red border, multiple gold chains and a rudraksha-style mala, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead. His hands are pressed together in front of him. Beside him on the right are large golden deity murti statues with ornate crowns and red drapery, and behind him a red wall and palm trees. A second person in orange sits at left, partly visible.

He wears a deep maroon draped cloth with a pale edge, a heavy multi-strand gold necklace, gold armlets and a gold bracelet. His palms are pressed together at his chest and he has a red bindi on his forehead. Scattered leaves lie on the ground.

A photograph of a man standing outdoors in bright daylight with a blurred green and orange background. He has long, swept-back black hair and a small red bindi on his forehead. He wears a bright orange-red shawl with a patterned border over his shoulders, a thick gold chain and multiple heavy gold-bead rudraksha-style malas across his chest, and a gold snake-shaped armband on his upper arm. A red pillar and orange stone structure appear at the edges of the frame.

A barefoot man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti line and red bindi on his forehead, gold hoop earrings and a gold necklace, walks smiling along a sandy courtyard in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and multi-strand rudraksha malas. Behind him, a bald priest in orange and yellow robes bends forward beside a footwear pile. A tall blue metal stand holds a bowl, and dark stone shivalingas and a carved deity murti stand near a red-and-white painted platform and orange temple wall. Swamiji (probable): the walking man shows long hair, saffron clothing and ornate rudraksha malas with gold adornments.
