A photograph of a crowded indoor hall with striped decorative pillars and white canopy draping. A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, stands at centre holding a folded white card. Beside him a devotee in a white dhoti with a multicoloured-striped shawl folds his hands in greeting. A monastic in saffron stands at right holding a silver tray with gold ornaments and offerings. Several men in white dhotis, some with gold chains, stand around, and an official-looking man in a grey shirt with glasses stands at left.

A photograph of a devotional gathering indoors, with a blurred projection screen on the wall behind. On the right, a bare-shouldered man with hair swept back into a bun wears a white cloth draped over his shoulder and multiple beaded red-and-orange malas on his arm and neck, smiling as he extends his hand toward a devotee. Facing him, a younger man in a white shirt presses his palms together in greeting while another man with white hair and white clothing bows his head. Several other people in white and pale clothing stand in the background.

A photograph inside a hall with an orange and white draped ceiling and a white projection screen on the left. A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange robe with a long black rudraksha mala and stands at the centre, with a hand extended toward a bald man in white dhoti and shawl who holds a folded white cloth. Around them, men in white dhotis and orange robes stand in a group, one man in orange on the right wears a rudraksha mala and holds a tray. Behind them, a gold and red throne-like seat stands before dark curtains. Swamiji (probable) is the smiling central figure in the orange robe with the long rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair.

A smiling man with dark hair in a bun, wearing an orange-saffron silk garment with a gold border and a heavy necklace of gold beads and gold armbands, extends his hand toward a bearded older man in a white shirt who presses his palms together in greeting. Around them, several men in white shirts and mundus fold their hands in prayer, and a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a red tilak stands behind. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with warm lighting.

A photograph of an indoor hall with pale walls and hanging orange and multicoloured banners. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a white-and-gold garland stands with his head turned, gesturing with one hand toward a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who holds a blue paper. Beside them, a bald man in orange robes holds a white tray with gold items. Several men in white dhotis and shirts and orange-robed monastics stand around, one with a rudraksha mala, and a foreign-looking man in a white shirt stands at the back. A partially visible figure at the right holds a gold-coloured tray. The orange-robed man with the long swept-back hair and garland matches the page's Swamiji cues of saffron clothing, a ceremonial garland and long hair, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.

A photograph inside a hall with pillars wrapped in orange, blue and yellow patterned fabric. In the foreground, a line of men in white and light-blue shirts stand with hands folded in respect, one bowing with palms pressed together. Facing them, a figure with long, swept-back black hair and an orange garment draped over the shoulders, wearing gold necklaces, holds a tray of small items with gold trim. Beside him, a shaved-headed attendant in an orange robe stands in front of a tray.

A photograph of a festive indoor gathering with colourful striped tassels hanging from the ceiling. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak, a saffron-red shawl draped over one shoulder and a multi-strand gold-beaded mala smiles while pressing his palms together and gesturing toward a man in a white shirt on the left, who has his arms folded. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around smiling and making anjali gestures, and a man on the right in white dhoti with a gold-beaded necklace holds a wooden tray with brass vessels. The setting appears to be a ceremonial hall with pink walls. Swamiji (probable) with long hair, saffron-red shawl and gold mala is shown greeting devotees.

A photograph of a festive indoor gathering under a white tent ceiling with hanging fans and colourful striped cloth pillars. In the foreground, a long-haired figure with a red tilak on the forehead wears a saffron-orange shawl over a bare chest, with beaded gold-toned necklaces, and smiles while extending hands in greeting. Several men in white shirts and dhotis press palms together in namaste or hold hands to chest, one wearing glasses, another an older man with a red mark on his forehead. Another monk-like attendant in saffron stands at right beside a wooden box. Behind them, more devotees stand in the hall.
