To his right, a monastic in orange with spectacles and an orange turban looks on. A man in a white shirt holding a red bag and a camera operator stand at right.

A procession outdoors near a whitewashed wall with a notice board. A central man in orange robes, an orange turban and a red bindi stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling, wearing a long white and red flower garland and gold ornaments. Around him, several men in orange robes and gold chains walk closely; one on the left, with a full beard and gold-tipped staff, holds a tall golden staff topped with an ornament. A bearded man in glasses and a white shirt stands behind. In the foreground a man in orange with a gold chain walks past, and a shaven-headed young man in orange clothing with a white tilak looks forward. A woman in a white sari with a red bindi stands in the background.

A photograph of a festive gathering under a red and gold canopy with a golden shrine behind it. A tall figure in a saffron-orange wrap and matching orange turban, with a long gold necklace, smiles at the centre-left. Beside him, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes smiles and reaches toward a kneeling man in a white dhoti and a red shawl, who has long curly hair and is bending over an offering tray. Other orange-robed sannyasis and a white-clad man with a gold-bordered shawl stand around, some with hands raised in greeting. A drummer in white stands at left. The orange wrap-clad figure with a crown-like turban and gold necklace is a person candidate by appearance, though the identification is uncertain.

Photograph of a festive ashram event under a red and gold canopy with golden ornamental decorations and a gilded dome-shaped shrine behind. In the foreground, a man in an orange turban, orange robes and a long gold necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling and bowing slightly. Beside him, a man in white kurta with a red shawl has hands folded. Two shaven-headed monks in orange robes face each other nearby, and a man in white dhoti with a red-bordered shawl stands at right with a shaven head. Other orange-robed figures and onlookers fill the background, and a partially visible person in white stands at far left.

Photograph of two men walking through a plain white interior corridor toward a dark wooden doorway. In the centre, a man in an orange robe wrapped around the body and an orange turban smiles while looking to the side, with long dark hair visible at the back of his neck. He appears to match a person by the orange clothing and turban, though the cues are not strongly distinctive. Beside him on the right, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala walks with a serious expression. A blurred figure in white and orange stands at the left edge, and another partially visible figure is at the far right.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange turban and orange robes, with a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads, smiling broadly on a large orange armchair at a public talk. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes and another man in orange sit partly visible, and at left an older man in white shirt and white trousers with glasses holds a small phone to his face. The background is a pale white draped backdrop.

Two saffron-robed men sit side by side on red-cushioned metal chairs on a stage at a formal event. The man on the left wears an orange turban, orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, smiling with hands clasped. The man on the right, with a shaved head and white tilak marks, wears an orange shawl draped over his head and a dark rudraksha mala, gesturing with one hand as he talks. Behind them a large painted backdrop shows a seated figure beside a pillared structure, with pink flowers and white garlands at the left edge. A seated man in white and a patterned shawl is at the far left, and another man in white is partly visible at the top right.

A photograph of two men in saffron-orange robes indoors against pale pink and white tiled walls. The standing man on the left wears an orange turban, a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, and presses his palms together in greeting while smiling. The seated man on the right, wearing an orange shawl over his head and shoulders, leans forward and holds a flowering sprig of pink-blossomed plant. Swamiji (probable): the standing man wears a turban, saffron robes and an ornate gold necklace, and fits the compatible presentation cues, so he is described as a possible Swamiji in person.
