A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes and a rudraksha mala seated among devotees, handing small orange fruits or offerings to a woman in a purple patterned top and purple shawl who extends her hands to receive them. Other people crowd around, including a woman in a white top with a blue bag, a woman in pink, and a child at left. A white-draped table with printed brochures and a small book sits at right. The man's long dark hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), shown here giving prasad to a devotee.

Night outdoor photo of a large crowd of devotees, many in white, gathered behind barricades. In the foreground a figure in an orange-yellow turban and sleeveless yellow-orange garment, wearing a white and pink flower garland strung with yellow beads and a rudraksha mala, extends hands toward devotees. Nearby, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a green sari with glasses hold up yellow fruit with palms pressed together. Other devotees kneel and sit on blue plastic chairs under string lights and a tree.

Indoor event under a metal-framed roof with bright stage lights and a crowd seated behind. A man with short dark hair in a white kurta, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, leans forward to clasp the hands of a seated person in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe. A woman in a yellow-trimmed white top on the left holds two red apples. Another man in white with a mala stands behind, and several onlookers in white sit nearby.

Night photograph of an outdoor devotional gathering with string lights and a crowd of white-clad people behind a barrier, with orange flags and a lit building in the background. In the foreground a man in an orange-yellow turban and orange-yellow garment, wearing a white flower garland and a garland of yellow beads, extends a red apple to a line of devotees. A woman in a light blue sari with hands pressed together in namaste stands at left, a man in white holds a red apple, and a long-haired young man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala holds a mala and offers a hand. Two more people stand nearby, one in a white dress with an orange shawl and mala. The scene reads as an offering of fruit during darshan.

A photograph of an outdoor tented event with red and white draping. In the foreground, a man with long, swept-back dark hair wearing a white dhoti with gold border, a heavy gold necklace and a gold chain, seated on a red-cushioned chair and gesturing toward a devotee. Next to him stands a man in a white shirt and orange shawl with a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a white sari. A plate of red apples and oranges and a garland of red flowers sit in the foreground. Behind them, rows of women in white saris and orange-bordered saris, and men in white, stand on a green and red floor. A bald man in orange robes is partly visible at upper left. Visible banners in red and blue hang along the tent.

Night outdoor photo at a temple-event stage area. A figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban, wearing a large white flower garland, reaches forward to hand a red apple to a man in white shirt and dhoti with a sandalwood tilak and rudraksha-style mala. Beside him an older man in white and a woman with grey hair and gold jewellery look on, a woman in orange at lower left claps her hands. Behind them a tray of apples sits on a table, with string lights, potted banana plants and white chairs in the background. Probable Swamiji's appearance cues are present on the figure receiving attention: orange turban, swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland.
