A seated man in an orange saffron wrap and sleeveless orange garment, with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, smiles while resting his right hand on the head of a kneeling person in a striped light-blue and cream collared shirt. He sits in an orange upholstered chair before a golden altar with red and yellow floral garlands and brass oil lamps, with carved stone pillars behind. An orange towel lies over the armrest.

A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and an orange sleeveless wrap on his bare shoulders sits on an orange cushioned seat in front of brass vessels, a brass bowl with petals, and red cloth at a temple shrine. He holds the hands of a devotee in a striped dark collared shirt who leans in close, and another person's head appears at the lower right.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes seated on an orange-cushioned throne-style chair, smiling, with a red tilak on his forehead and bare feet resting on a brown mat. A boy in an orange striped polo shirt and grey trousers kneels before him, back to the camera. Behind them is a golden ornate shrine with a deity murti draped in marigold and red-yellow garlands, golden oil lamps and a kalasha, with a small figurine in the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, orange robes and a tilak, and the page notes him at this event.

A photograph of a seated figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long, dark, swept-back hair placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt and beige trousers. The kneeling devotee bows forward with his palms together near the floor on a red and blue patterned mat. Behind them, a tripod stands and several people in white and dark clothing stand in the background. A small tray with offerings sits beside the seated figure, and a white cloth lies on the seat. The image appears to show a blessing or darshan moment. The seated figure matches the orange-robed, long-haired presentation of the Swamiji candidate, with cues including saffron robe and long swept hair, so the appearance-based label applies.

A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, smiling and placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a red-brown striped shirt with a rudraksha mala. Behind them is a floral arrangement of pink, white, purple and yellow flowers, with a large deity murti draped in red and white cloth and garlanded with flower strands. A low wooden table with a orange cloth and offerings sits at left. The seated figure has distinctive long swept hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, consistent with a person, and the kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing during a pada puja. The scene matches an in-person pada puja with a visible deity backdrop.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on an orange-cushioned throne with a red pillow. A kneeling man in a dark striped shirt and beige trousers holds the seated man's hand while looking up at him. A woman in white stands at the left edge, and a girl in white sits at the right edge. Behind them is an altar with brass lamps, kalasha-style vessels, a tray of oranges and flowers, and a red-draped shrine. The seated figure's long hair, saffron robe and throne match the orange and crown cues, so this is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) candidate receiving darshan from a devotee.

He smiles and extends one hand toward a man in a white shirt and blue jeans who bends low to touch his feet. Behind them, a second person in orange robes stands near a small table holding fruit and a tray. A man in a cream jacket and striped trousers stands at the left edge.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange robe with long, swept-back black hair, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne chair, placing his right hand on the head of a bowing man in a striped light shirt and dark trousers with an orange shawl over his shoulders. A second man in an orange robe stands behind the throne holding a small object, and a silver tray with fruit, flowers and a tilak-marked offering rests on a white table beside them. Several men in white and light clothing stand in the background, one wearing a yellow shawl and a white forehead mark. The image shows a blessing or darshan moment.
