A photo of a ceremonial gathering inside a temple-like hall with colourful striped pillars. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a white and red flower garland, a gold ceremonial necklace and a pink silk garment with green border reads from a sheet of paper while holding it in both hands. An older man in a white checked shirt with a lanyard watches on the left, and a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right. Several other men stand behind. The central figure shows distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and pink-and-gold ceremonial dress, matching the page's Swamiji (probable) label for an in-person presence.

A photograph of an indoor satsang setting with colourful striped pillars with orange tassels in the background. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak wears a white and red flower garland with gold beads, a pink shawl with green border over bare shoulders, and an orange cloth; he smiles while holding a folded paper and a tray of offerings before him. To the left, a man in a white shirt stands with palms pressed together in namaste; further left and behind, other men in white shirts watch. On the right, a shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl stands in profile. The figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partly, so the identity is uncertain.2010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26March 03 20132013-03-03December 26 20102010-12-26A photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with coloured cloth-wrapped pillars. A long-haired figure in a magenta sari-style garment and a white-and-red garland of flowers with gold ornaments places a hand on the forehead of a man in white clothes holding a folded paper. Other men in white dhotis and shirts stand around, one with hands joined in namaste at the left edge. A bald man in an orange-and-white robe stands at the right. Brass plates with offerings and flowers sit on a table in the foreground. The figure appears to be a person candidate by appearance cues of long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and garland, presiding in a blessing role.2010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26November 03 20112011-11-03A photograph of a man with a shaved-looking short dark hairstyle, saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, a gold-and-bead necklace with gold beads and a thick red flower garland, and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he reads a folded white paper. Several men with folded hands stand in a line before him, one in a brown shirt and others in white and checked shirts, with a row of people behind them. At the right edge a robed attendant in orange holds a tray of red fruit and ritual objects.

Probable Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange clothing and heavy gold ceremonial ornaments, the cues for a presiding guru in this archive. Around him, a bald orange-robed devotee stands at left with rudraksha beads, a grey-haired man in white with a raised palm, a man in white with a mustache, and a shaved-headed man in white behind. Blurred onlookers fill a hall with a red curtain behind them.2013-06-17A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and red top, with a red bindi, a white pearl necklace, gold pendant and rudraksha malas, smiling as he receives a folded white paper from an older man in a white shirt who holds his palms cupped together. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white and an orange-robed monk stand near a silver tray at the bottom edge. The man in red has long swept-back hair and a crown-free but ornate, distinctive presentation with multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role of receiving a petition.
