A night photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a small red mark on his forehead, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and across his chest, with his upper body bare on one side. He stands in front of a dark outdoor setting lit by a few overhead lamps and tube lights. Beside him at the right, a second man in white ritual clothing with an orange shawl looks down with hands folded in front of him. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long hair, saffron shawl and forehead mark, with the man on the right described as a devotee in white and orange.

A man seated outdoors at night, photographed from the front, wearing a rust-orange wrap over a saffron-orange garment. He has a white sandalwood-paste band with a red dot across his forehead, and his dark hair is swept back. He wears a white-and-red-and-yellow flower garland. Behind him, a partly visible bald man in orange robes stands near a dark vehicle, and dark foliage fills the background.

A photograph taken at night inside a temple-like colonnaded hall with white pillars and stone steps. In the foreground stands a man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, an orange saffron wrap and garment, a rudraksha mala, and a thick white and magenta flower garland around his neck, his hand resting on his chest. Behind him, several people in white and saffron stand in the dim hall, and a small oil lamp glows on the steps to the right. The figure matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable), based on his long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and garland. A dark stone sculpture is partly visible at left.

He wears a white flower garland with red blossoms and a red-and-brown bead mala across the chest, a white tilak on his forehead, and long, swept-back dark hair. Around him, several men and boys in white kurtas and dhotis walk alongside; one bearded man on the left carries a tray, a boy in white wears a dark bead necklace, and a young person in pink stands near the centre. A woman in a pink top is behind the central figure. A woven basket is held by a person at the right edge. Red-roofed structures and lamp posts appear in the background. The saffron-robed man has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, a garland and a mala, matching the page's Swamiji candidate with probable appearance cues.

Night procession photograph lit by a row of hanging lanterns and a warm glow ahead. In the centre, a man with dark hair and a small red bindi walks in a red-maroon robe, wearing a long garland of white, blue and red flowers and a wooden bead necklace.

Other people in red and white garments stand in the blurred background, and a photographer's light is visible at lower right. a person: the centre figure has the appearance of a candidate, but the visible cues are limited to a garland and bindi rather than long hair or ornate gold adornments, so identity is uncertain.
