A bald older man with rimless glasses and a small red bindi sits at a draped table in a cream-coloured kurta, gazing to the side. Behind him stands a framed portrait of an older bearded man beside a younger woman, a deity murti adorned with red and orange flowers, and a tall garland of yellow, green, red and white marigolds and roses on the right. The scene suggests a devotional gathering with flower decorations and altar-style display.

A close photograph of an older bald man with short grey hair and rimless glasses, wearing an orange kurta and a white shawl over his shoulders. A white vibhuti or sacred ash mark is on his forehead as another person's hand rests on his head, in a blessing or initiation gesture. Behind him, an orange cloth backdrop and another orange-robed figure are visible. A second person with short dark hair is partly visible at the lower right, bending forward.2010-09-20A man in a plain white short-sleeved shirt and thin-rimmed glasses stands at a red podium with a microphone on a flexible stand, reading from a small booklet. Behind him are large framed portraits on a cream and orange backdrop: one shows a smiling older man with a white beard, another shows a bearded figure with a red bindi and orange-saffron robes. Orange flower garlands hang at the podium's base.

A microphone on a flexible stand is in front of him, and a string of orange marigold garland hangs on the podium. The setting appears to be a stage at an indoor event.2007-01-01December 31 20092009-12-31June 21 20172017-06-21A close portrait of a shaved-headed, bespectacled older man in an orange kurta with a white shawl draped over his shoulders and a dark rudraksha mala at his chest. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste while another person's hand rests on his forehead, a white sacred mark visible there. He wears gold rings, and orange-robed figures are blurred in the background against a red curtain. The man has no distinctive long hair, crown, or ceremonial gold necklace, so no a person identity is claimed; the figure is described by role only as a devotee receiving blessing.2010-09-20An elderly man with grey hair and glasses, wearing a cream-coloured suit, speaks at a wooden lectern with a red front panel and a microphone on a flexible gooseneck stand. Behind him hang a large banner and three framed portraits: a left portrait of a smiling bearded figure in orange robes and an orange head cloth, a centre portrait partly obscured, and a right portrait of a figure with a red bindi and orange robes. The portraits are printed images, not physical people, and no printed name is legible on them.2007-01-01November 24 20112011-11-24A photograph of an older man with short grey hair and thin-framed glasses, wearing a white kurta-style shirt with an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a metal wristwatch. He leans in from the side, lips near the wick of a small oil lamp held in a silver stand, lighting it at a golden shrine or altar with ornate gold-patterned carving and a red-topped structure above. A blurred painted backdrop and a flower arrangement appear at the top of the frame. He appears to be performing a lamp-lighting act of worship. Appearance cues are limited to a saffron shawl and white clothing, which are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2012-07-09June 21 20172017-06-21A photograph of a seated audience at a satsang-style gathering. In the centre, an older man with swept-back silver-grey hair, a grey moustache and clear-framed glasses wears a cream kurta and a rust-coloured rudraksha mala with a small amber pendant on a cord. A red bindi is on his forehead and a pen is clipped to his shirt. Around him, participants in white, blue and orange clothing sit in rows, and a partially visible young man in white with a rudraksha mala is in the foreground at left. Sparse, unidentified attendees fill the background. The man's appearance does not establish a candidate for the named teacher, so he is described by role only as a seated participant.2016-12-17
