A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a multi-strand rudraksha mala sits on an orange cushioned throne in a temple setting, holding a sheet of paper in one hand and placing his other hand on the head of a kneeling young man in a white shirt and white dhoti who has his hands in anjali. Behind them are gold-coloured temple pillars, a deity murti draped with orange cloth and garlanded with marigolds, and a fruit tray. The scene suggests a darshan or blessing.

A photograph of a long-haired man in flowing saffron-orange robes with a red bindi, seated on a white-covered dais before an ornate gold throne-back decorated with floral relief and a circular emblem. A man in a white checked shirt and grey trousers kneels and bows his head, pressing his forehead against the seated man's chest as the seated figure rests a hand on his head. Garlands of yellow marigolds and pink and purple flowers adorn the throne, with a flower arrangement at left and green foliage behind. Probable Swamiji is visible by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and bindi, presented as the seated figure receiving the devotee's obeisance.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair swept back in a braid, wears a thick rudraksha mala and gold ornamental necklace and smiles broadly. He sits on an ornate gold throne-like chair while an elderly white-haired man in white clothes, wearing a white flower garland with pink flowers, bows forward and clasps his hands in greeting toward him. Behind them standing attendants in orange and white clothes and a man in a white shirt look on, and seated devotees fill the background. A bright patterned fabric hangs at the left edge.

Photograph of a ceremonial scene on a gold-carved throne draped with red tiger-striped cushions and garlanded with yellow and red flowers. A seated man with swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap over a red sleeveless top and holds a bare arm extended toward him. Kneeling before him on a white cloth-covered dais is an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti with rudraksha beads around his neck, bowing forward with hands clasped at the seated man's waist. A second person in orange robes stands at the left edge behind the scene. Woven bamboo screen and leafy green vines frame the background.

A photograph of an orange-draped seated figure with long dark hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange sleeveless robe, placing his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white kurta with hands joined in namaskar. The seated figure rests his feet on an orange cushioned footstool with a small brown mat. Both are on an orange cloth-covered dais in front of a temple with ornate grey stone carvings, tall brass lamp stands, brass kalasha pots and oil lamps, and a deity murti draped in purple and teal cloth with flower garlands. A cameraman with a video camera stands at left and a white-clad attendant at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes on a throne-like seat, a candidate depiction in an in-person blessing scene.

A photograph of a long-haired man in orange robes seated on an orange-cushioned throne-like seat, touching the forehead of a kneeling man in a white collared shirt who bows with hands clasped. The seated figure wears a rudraksha mala and a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and a golden staff rests across his lap. Behind them is a large gilded urn-shaped vessel and a white marble statue of a saint wearing an orange head cloth, with yellow and red marigold garlands hanging from the altar and orange drapery at the top. A small bell and a brass lamp sit on the altar ledge.

A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a red undershirt rests one hand on the head of a kneeling older man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing glasses and a gold bracelet. The seated figure has long dark hair and a red mark on the forehead, and sits on a red and gold throne with a gold-embossed backdrop depicting a deity murti, with garlands of pink flowers at the top. The scene suggests a blessing being given, and the seated figure has a distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold-embossed throne cues consistent with the page's a person reference, though identity is uncertain from appearance. The kneeling man receives the blessing with his head bowed and a small object held in his hand.

The seated figure wears orange robes over a red undergarment, has long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi, and sits on red patterned cushions in front of an ornate gold throne with yellow and purple floral garlands. The kneeling man has white hair and a pink identity badge and reaches toward the seated figure's hand. A second man in orange robes stands at the left edge beside a floral arrangement.

A seated man in a maroon-red turban and deep red-brown robe sits on a red velvet cushioned throne with ornate gold carved armrests. He wears a white and red flower garland, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist, and a rudraksha-style red and gold necklace. He smiles while placing his right hand on the grey-haired head of an older man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white shirt and a red beaded necklace and holds an orange fruit in his hand. Oranges sit on a tray in the foreground, with green potted plants and a red-draped background behind. The scene suggests a blessing given by the seated man to a devotee. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long-looking swept hair under a turban, ornate gold jewellery and a ceremonial garland on a throne, so he is labelled as a probable candidate.
