A crowd photo taken under a corrugated metal shelter decorated with a garland of marigolds. A bearded man in a white kurta, black waistcoat and orange-saffron tilak sits on a white cot holding a rudraksha mala. Beside him a young boy in a red-and-white shawl and white dhoti with a gold border smiles, and another boy in white with a gold border sits in front. Behind them stand several men, including a bearded man with long hair in a black vest, a man in a beige waistcoat and yellow cloth with a tilak, and an older woman in a yellow shawl and pale headwrap. Others in white shirts and bright shirts stand at the back, and a man in a checked shirt sits at the front. The setting suggests a camp at a religious gathering.

A candid photo inside a tent with corrugated metal walls and a red carpet at a Kumbh camp. A bearded man in a white kurta and black vest sits on a white-sheeted bed holding a rudraksha mala, with a tilak on his forehead. Around him stand bearded sadhus, one in a yellow shawl and cream top, another in a black vest, and a woman in a yellow shawl with folded hands. In front, two boys in white dhotis with yellow borders sit on the red carpet, one wearing an orange-red shawl. A man in a white sleeveless top with orange tilak and red beads sits at right. Marigold garlands hang from the tent ceiling and a red flower offering sits on the bed. A banner reading 2015 is visible at left.

A photograph inside a hall at AadiKailaasa, Bengaluru, showing a seated figure in saffron clothing with a rudraksha mala placing his hands on the head of a devotee seated on the floor. Around him, devotees in white and saffron stand with palms pressed together, and a woman in a green sari holds a small bald child. A saffron-robed young monk stands nearby, and a man in white holds a pair of hands in prayer. Offerings and small items, including a pile of rudraksha beads and printed material, rest on a white cloth in front. A dark red curtain, a standing fan and a wall with patterned panels form the background. Several onlookers fill the room, with a patterned banner in the upper right corner.

A photograph of a Sarva Darshan healing session in a hall with a red curtain stage and a white cushioned seat. Seated at centre-right, a long-haired man in orange robes and a beaded rudraksha necklace sits on the white seat, with his hand extended toward a devotee in a green sari. Around him, several orange-robed monks and devotees in white and orange stand and kneel. A shaved-headed monk in orange stands behind, raising a hand in blessing. A man in a checked orange-and-white shirt stands at left, and a young man in a red shirt and glasses stands behind. Books, a small pile of blue booklets and a tray of offerings lie on the white seat's edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated long-haired figure in orange with rudraksha beads and a mala matches the page's claim, though appearance is only moderately distinctive. Background includes a printed banner with floral patterns and a large image on the right wall.

A crowded indoor photo at a Kumbh Mela-style camp tent with orange fabric backdrop and hanging posters. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads stands bare-chested, offering or applying something to the hands of a man in a white shirt and checked shirt. Around them devotees crowd close: a man in striped blue shirt, a bespectacled man, a man in a golden silk kurta and light blue shawl, and women in yellow and pink saris with red bindis. Some men wear orange and pink turbans. No clear a person candidate is visible.
