Outdoor photo of two men in saffron-orange robes against a backdrop of palm trees and a tiled roof building. The foreground man is shirtless with a saffron shawl draped over one shoulder, a long dark hair knot, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and a rudraksha mala hanging across his chest; he stands with one hand on his hip, smiling and looking down. Behind him, a second man with curly dark hair wears an orange robe, a small red tilak, and holds his hands clasped in front of him. A dark SUV and a small stone sculpture appear at lower left. Swamiji (probable) appears as the foreground figure, based on his long hair, rudraksha mala, saffron shawl, and distinctive stance.

Outdoor photo of a smiling man in the centre wearing a loose orange-saffron robe draped over a dark high-necked turtleneck, with a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair swept back; his right hand is raised mid-gesture as if speaking. Beside him on the left, a laughing man in a white kurta wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. On the right, a smiling woman in a beige cardigan, navy trousers and a dark beaded necklace stands close. Dense green trees form the background, with rocky ground at the bottom edge. Several figures are partly visible behind them. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha, shown as a standing speaker among devotees.

Outdoor festival stage under a striped canopy with orange pennants. A smiling young man seated on an orange-draped throne wears a white and gold turban, a long red and white flower garland, orange saffron robes and a gold-embellished ceremonial necklace; he holds a tall gold ceremonial staff. A devotee in orange robes bows low before him at the platform's edge, with orange-clad attendants and a smiling man in dark clothing to the right. Behind them, a white-robed elder stands before a decorated altar with a deity murti and a framed portrait under colourful garlands and bunting.

Outdoor photograph on a grassy field with scrubby trees and an overcast sky, apparently a bhoomi puja ceremony. A man in long saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a tilak on his forehead and red-and-black rudraksha malas around his neck stands in the centre, smiling and holding red flowers at his chest; this is a probable Swamiji candidate based on the hair, malas and saffron clothing. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes holds a silver vessel with a small flame, and another orange-clad man stands at left. Several women in white saris with yellow or orange shawls stand behind, one holding a metal tray with offerings and another an accordion-style instrument. Roughly six to twenty people are visible.

A smiling man with short dark hair and a small red bindi on his forehead stands with eyes lowered, wrapped in a loose orange saffron cloth over a sleeveless orange garment. Behind him, a man with a white dress and orange shawl stands at left, and a bearded older man with curly grey hair is partly visible at the left edge; white light from a window fills the background. The central figure is an appearance-based candidate with compatible saffron robing and a devotional bindi, but no distinctive crown, long hair or rudraksha is visible, so identity is uncertain. Four physical people are visible.
