A bare-chested man in saffron-orange cloth with a gold-bead necklace and a swept-back hair bun stands with palms pressed together, smiling, facing a woman in a green sari with a folded-hands greeting. Around him, men in orange robes and gold necklaces, a shaved-headed man in white with a red mark on his forehead, and a man in black shirt stand close, while a woman in a maroon top with a dark bag stands at left, hands together. Swamiji (probable): the central figure in orange shawl with swept-back hair bun, gold necklaces and bare chest is a candidate by appearance, shown in person.2011-02-22A procession in an indoor hall with a warm, dim-lit room and a black speaker stack and cables on the floor behind. A central figure in rust-orange and gold-striped robes, wearing a rust-orange turban, a long pink and white flower garland, beads and a pendant, walks barefoot with palms pressed together in greeting. Appearance does not clearly establish identity, so this is a devotee or sannyasi in procession rather than a confirmed identity. To the left, a woman in orange sari with rudraksha beads carries a silver tray. On the right, a woman in orange sari holds a tall golden trident (trishul) and a man in white dhoti with orange shawl stands beside her, with a golden standard visible at top right. Two more robed attendants are visible in the background.2015-07-09A photograph taken at night under a covered outdoor structure with a concrete floor and overhead lights. Four men stand in conversation. At the right, a smiling man with long dark hair wears a rust-brown silk dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a gold-trimmed garment, appearing to be the central figure of the group. To his left, a man in a saffron-orange robe and shawl stands holding a long wooden staff with a serpent-shaped carved top, with a white beard and head covering, while another bearded man in orange stands behind him. At the far left, a shaved-headed man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl with gold trim and a rudraksha mala smiles.

Beside him a younger man in an orange hooded jacket and orange dhoti stands near a tall pole. Behind them, devotees in white kurtas and cream salwar-style clothing stand with hands folded in namaste, one woman wearing a white shawl with bright printed scarf and another in white with a lanyard. A green sign with Hindi and English lettering is visible at right and a dark building at back. a person cues: orange-red robe with rudraksha mala, but the hair and face are not strongly distinctive, so this is uncertain.2011-12-05February 07 20162016-02-07A photograph of an indoor audience hall where a man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban walks down an aisle with palms pressed together in namaste.
