A group photograph inside a hall with yellow pillars and arched niches, with a blue-framed shrine behind. A man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a long gold-and-bead necklace and a pendant, stands centre with hands clasped, smiling. Beside him a person in an orange wrap stands with folded arms. To the right a woman wears a pink and gold saree with gold bangles and a red bindi. Around them men in white shirts and white dhotis stand, and one bearded elder in white with a tilak is at the back. Plastic chairs are visible at left. The centre man has distinctive long necklaces and ceremonial orange robes, so this is a person appearance match, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, bare feet resting on a footstool, on a raised stage with a red-and-orange backdrop and a garland of red, yellow and green flowers above. Several devotees stand before him in a line: a man in white dhoti and shirt and an older man with white hair in white clothes assist near the throne, a woman in green sari with blue border and another in a brown patterned sari kneel or bow with hands joined in namaskar, a woman in white and a woman in a red sari with gold embroidery stand to the right. A man in orange cloth stands at far left. The scene reads as a devotional reception or padapuja-style honour, with the seated figure receiving the devotees. The seated figure shows long dark hair and a red mark on the forehead, and the appearance is consistent with the presentation of a person, though this is uncertain from appearance alone and the page does not state he was present.

A group photograph of about ten people posed indoors in a temple-style hall with yellow columns, arches and a painted wall panel. At centre a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl wears a gold-bead rudraksha-style necklace with a large gold pendant, and his hands are clasped in front. Beside him a woman in an orange shawl stands with hands folded. Men in white shirts and white dhotis flank the group, and a woman in a red and gold saree with gold bangles stands at right. A bearded elderly man in white stands behind. The appearance-based candidate is a centre figure in saffron with distinctive gold beads and pendant, so a person is noted as the central figure in saffron, though identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a ceremonial hall during a satsang. A seated figure in the centre wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and sits on a gold throne (peetha) before a large floral backdrop of marigolds and rose petals. A shaved-headed man in orange robes and a white forehead marking stands in the foreground, while other orange-clad sannyasis stand nearby. Several men in white dhotis and shirts and girls in pink, light blue and white salwar kameez stand in line on a red carpet, some with their hands folded. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of a person (long dark hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, gold necklace), so this is a probable in-person candidate; the standing sannyasis and devotees are identified by role only.

A seated figure in saffron robes and a white flower garland sits on a gold throne with red cushion before a floral arch of red and white blossoms. Several people stand around him: a man in white shirt and dhoti on the left, a younger man in saffron dhoti pointing at the throne, a bald man in white shirt and dhoti, and women in saris, including one in a light blue floral dress and another in a brown sari with white dots, several offering flowers. A cloth-draped, gold-accented hall forms the backdrop. The seated figure has a red tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha-style necklace of white flowers; the scene appears to be a darshan or honouring ceremony, identity uncertain from appearance alone. Visible people: about ten.

Photo of a standing group inside an arched hall with cream pillars and orange curtains. In the centre, a young man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl wears a multicoloured flower garland and a red-and-white tilak; he clasps his hands in front. Beside him, a woman in a pink and gold sari with a red blouse holds a plate, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at right. At left, an elderly bearded man with long white hair and a rudraksha mala sits in an orange wrap. Another orange-clad figure sits at lower right and a person in a yellow dress walks in the background.

A photograph of a wedding-blessing group posed before a large ornate golden throne with carved lion-like armrests and a tiger-skin patterned seat. Seated at his feet to the right is a man in white dhoti and shirt with a garland of pink and green flowers, beside a bride in an orange-red silk sari with gold jewellery and a matching garland. To the left, an older man in white kurta holds papers, and an older woman in a striped orange-and-maroon sari stands with palms pressed together. At far right, an older woman in a maroon sari stands with hands clasped, and a bald man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala stands behind the throne.

A man in a white shirt and grey trousers leans forward toward the seated figure, while several women in saris, one in green and one in white with gold border, and men in orange garments stand around them with hands near the throne.
