Outdoor event at a satsang venue. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head wrap and long dark hair stands at the foot of a green-carpeted staircase with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind the stairs, several men in white shirts and trousers also stand with hands folded, and a man in a brown shirt joins them. On the right, a man in white with a rudraksha mala greets people, and a bald man in white leans in to receive something. Orange drapes with blue-and-purple trim hang behind, with orange flags on poles and a small potted plant on the left. Flower garlands lie on a tray at the bottom. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by the saffron robes, orange head wrap and long dark hair; the scene is a reception of greeting at a stage.

A photograph of an outdoor scene on a stone-paved step beside a green lawn and tall hedges. A long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands centre-right, facing a man in a white shirt and grey trousers. Around them are devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas with orange shawls, and a barefoot person in white and orange at right moves toward the group. Pillars and a temple spire appear in the background. The figure in saffron shows distinctive long hair and a mala, a person candidate, but the appearance cues are not strong enough for certainty.

A photograph of a temple outdoors with palm trees and a tree in the background. A central figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a white forehead mark wears an orange-red robe and a garland of orange-red flowers, with palms pressed together in a gesture of greeting as he stands before a whitewashed stone shrine with a domed top. Swamiji (probable), given the long hair, the orange robe and the garland. To his left, a man in orange robes with a flower garland and a yellow cloth stands beside men in white dhotis. Several other people in orange and white stand behind him. A tall stone pillar and a dark rock wall with a cloth tied to it sit at the right edge.

Outdoor stage event in the evening. A person in orange robes and an orange turban stands at the top of a short step, hands pressed together in namaste, smiling. Behind them is a large printed banner showing a smiling figure in an orange turban and orange garment, and a white draped backdrop with marigold garlands and a golden pedestal column holding a flower arrangement. Seated to the right, men in white shirts and white dhotis and a woman in orange sit near the stage, and small potted plants sit on the green-covered steps. Orange flags and an orange drape appear at the right edge.

Photograph of a crowd of devotees on white and red striped temple steps. A central figure in orange ochre robes wears a long white and red flower garland, a gold pendant necklace, a red headband and sandals; his long hair falls past his shoulders. Around him, men in white kurtas and white dhotis, several with orange shawls and red headbands, stand and crouch; one man in white bends low at the lower left. Behind them stand more men in white shirts and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, beneath hanging green leaves and a golden trident.

At left, a man with a saffron-orange turban and long dark hair presses his palms together in greeting and smiles. Beside him, a man in a red shirt with a blue rosette badge walks along, and a man with long hair and a beard wears an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and joins his hands. On the right, several women in white and cream saris with gold bangles stand with palms pressed together, and a woman holds up a silver vessel. A white-draped table holds a brass bowl of green leaves, a flower garland and a small silver dish.
