A photograph at a Kalpataru Darshan event under a gold and cream canopy. A seated man on a gilded throne with ornate gold carvings wears a rust-brown dhoti-style cloth, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, smiling as he takes a framed gold-bordered picture from a man in a cream shirt and orange shawl. Standing nearby, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a long rudraksha garland watches, while an attendant in orange and gold garb with a gold-trimmed headpiece stands behind the throne. A young woman in white at the right edge holds a similar gold-framed item. The seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues, so the appearance-based label is probable, but the match is not certain.

A photograph of a seated man in a maroon-red robe with a gold-coloured waist belt and a thick beaded necklace, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin cushion beneath.

A golden trident stands beside the throne, and a gold relief panel with a deity figure is behind it. Two attendants in white and dhoti-style dress stand in the background. The man on the throne has long, swept-back dark hair and a bare upper arm with gold armlet, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji; his appearance is a probable match.
