A night procession on a street, with a man in an orange turban and orange robe at centre, wearing long white and red flower garlands, a rudraksha mala and a smile, flanked by men in white dhotis and shirts and orange shawls. Blue and white flags and a lit signboard appear in the background. A man in white on the right faces him with hands together. a person is the central figure in orange with turban and garlands, but the candidate cues are moderate, so this is uncertain.

Night-time street scene of a procession or welcome. At centre, a figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange head wrap smiles, wearing a white and red flower garland and several beaded rudraksha-style malas. Around them, men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shoulder cloths, stand close and clap or gesture; one holds a long wooden stick at left. Some people carry white and blue flags in the background. The figure has a distinctive saffron ascetic presentation, with several visible cues including the orange head wrap and beaded malas, so this is a person candidate in the crowd, though a face-based identification is not made. Ground is dark asphalt.

Night-time photograph of a crowd on a road. At the centre, a smiling man wears an orange saffron robe and an orange head wrap, with a long white and red flower garland hanging to his waist. He stands with hands folded, surrounded by devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with orange shawls draped over their shoulders. On the right, men in white kurtas stand close by, and a few white and blue flags are visible at the top edge. The people around him are closely packed, and the scene is lit by street lights in the dark.

Outdoor procession at a Jayanti celebration. A central man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a white dhoti with gold border, a gold necklace and a red-and-white flower garland, walks with palms pressed together in greeting. Around him, several men in saffron robes and rudraksha malas walk closely, one holding a golden trident-topped staff and another a golden staff with a finial. A multicoloured decorated umbrella is raised above the group. A man in cream kurta with an orange shawl walks at the right edge, and a crowd of onlookers fills the background.

A photograph of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a red bindi, standing with palms pressed together in greeting namaste. He wears a long garland of white jasmine and red flowers with green leaves, and a gold necklace with a gold pendant. Behind him a man in white clothes with an orange shawl stands near a tall gold staff, and to the left a bearded man in orange robes wears a gold necklace. Behind them, a colourful striped cloth covers a stage and a white platform with flowers is at right. Several people in white garments stand in the background. The bearded figure at left and the smiling turbaned man are both in orange saffron clothing with gold ornaments, consistent with the candidate description; the appearance is a probable Swamiji match based on the turban, orange robes, gold necklace and garland cues.
