Outdoors at a dusty compound with a block wall, palm tree and orange marigolds behind. A person in a flowing orange robe sits cross-legged on a low dark platform, smiling, one hand raised near the ear. Behind and beside them stand three men in white kurta-style clothing: one in white with an orange shawl, one older man with a white moustache and a rudraksha mala, and one in white with a lanyard and badge. The orange-robed seated figure has long dark hair pulled back and bare feet, and appears to be a sannyasi-style presenter rather than a verifiable identity, so the a person field is left unsure.

A photograph in a plain whitewashed hall with blue metal bunk beds and an open door at right. A figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange sleeveless top, orange wrap and a rudraksha-style mala, stands at left and rests a hand on the bare shoulder of an elderly bald man in a peach-coloured cloth and a beaded neck garland. Behind them stands another man in orange. At right a young man in a white kurta, white dhoti and orange shawl stands with folded arms. Cues for a person appearance are the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange clothing of the figure at left, who appears to be the one giving blessing or healing. The image is an appearance-based candidate, so the a person value is unsure.

Outdoor photo on a concrete step at an ashram building with a brown doorway and a framed photo board on the wall. A young man with long, swept-back dark hair and a bare-chested orange wrap stands smiling at center. Beside him, a bearded man in white kurta with an orange shawl smiles toward him, another man in white with an orange shawl stands behind, and an older man in white with glasses stands at the upper right. A boy in white kurta with arms folded stands at the far left, with gunny sacks behind him. The swept hair and orange clothing are the appearance cues, so the central figure is a person.

A photograph of four men walking through an indoor hall with polished grey floors, dark pillars and a stone staircase behind them. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a red vertical mark on his forehead gestures with one hand raised to his head, mid-conversation. Beside him a younger man in white kurta and white trousers wears a rudraksha mala and holds a folded booklet. A moustached man in white kurta stands with arms crossed at left, and an older bearded man in white, with a lanyard and a small object in his hand, walks at right. Potted plants and other people in the background complete the scene. The saffron-robed man shows distinctive orange robes, a rudraksha-style necklace is worn by the younger man, and the context supports a person candidate in the orange robe.

A photograph of devotees gathered indoors at a temple-like hall with marigold garlands hanging above. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti on the left stands with hands folded. A center man in white with an orange-and-red patterned shawl leans in and gestures with clasped hands while speaking. A man in orange robes stands behind him. On the right, a person with long swept-back dark hair, an orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala smiles broadly with hands together, while a man in a yellow garment and gold necklace stands beside him with hands pressed together. Several older men are visible in the background.

A photograph of a group standing under a shaded open structure with a white wall of lattice windows behind them. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a dark rudraksha mala and a saffron-orange robe with a gold-edged wrap is speaking and gesturing with one hand; the saffron-clad figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) and is present in person. To his left, a man in cream shirt and white dhoti points outward while speaking. To the far left, a woman in a white sari with an orange border and gold necklace stands with her hands clasped. On the right, a man in an orange robe with a red border and rudraksha mala stands with arms folded, and at the far right edge another man in a cream shirt and white dhoti is partly visible. Five people are visible.

Photograph of several men in an indoor corridor with pale walls, glass windows and a tiled floor. A central man with long dark hair, a full dark beard and a saffron-orange wrap draped over his body holds a folded white cloth in one hand. Beside him, an older bald man in saffron robes and glasses stands, and an older man with white beard and saffron wrap faces him in conversation. On the right, a man in a white shirt and yellow-green lungi stands with his hair tied up. A man in a white shirt is partly visible at the left edge. The central figure shows distinctive long hair, beard and saffron wrap, but the appearance cues are not conclusive enough to confirm his identity.

Outdoor photo of four men on a paved courtyard in front of a white building with barred windows, a small white relief figure above the door and green foliage with pink flowers behind. The central man has long, swept-back dark hair, a tilak mark on his forehead and wears a flowing saffron-orange robe; he gestures with one hand while speaking. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and tilak are the cues for the central figure. To the left, a smiling man in orange robes wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. Behind him a bald man in white dhoti-style clothing smiles. To the right, a smiling man in a white kurta holds a rudraksha mala and a small book, with an orange shawl over his shoulder.
