Indoor photo in a bare concrete hall with white block walls and a brown door. In the centre, a long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap walks barefoot and smiles, appearing to be a person on account of his long swept-back hair and saffron clothing. Beside him a man in an olive green t-shirt and cream trousers stands with hands clasped, and another man in a maroon shirt and white dhoti stands behind. Behind them are rows of gold-coloured deity murtis on the floor, and a large portrait of a woman with long dark hair hangs on the wall. A striped green cloth and a tall yellow-and-gold hanging are at the left.

In the foreground, a row of ornate gold-toned metal deity murtis and brass figures sits on the left, with a garland of yellow and green flowers hanging at the edge. A long-haired man in an orange cloth wrap, bare-shouldered, stands facing the murtis with one hand raised near his face. Beside him a bearded man wears a red dhoti, a gold-yellow cloth and a rudraksha mala. Around them, men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with hands folded, and a man at the far right wears an orange shawl over white clothes. The swami's presentation shows long swept-back hair and orange clothing, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only. A small seated figure in orange is visible at the lower left, near the metal figures.2007-02-24Indoor photo in a plain white-walled hall with a corrugated metal ceiling and a wall speaker.

In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe walks barefoot across a striped green, pink and blue mat, smiling and looking down. He wears orange garments wrapped over his body. To his right, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style pendant holds a rolled item and walks alongside. Behind them a man in white and another in orange move through the room, and a pedestal fan, white plastic chairs and a table stand nearby. A large printed banner on the back wall shows a man in white turban-like headwear. A camera operator is visible at the left edge. The long hair, orange saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive and align with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.2006-12-10June 11 20142014-06-11December 23 20072007-12-23October 12 20142014-10-12Indoor photograph of a temple room with a tiled floor and white walls.
