Photograph of a smiling man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron shawl and skirt, a red bindi on his forehead and a long strand of gold beaded ceremonial necklace; he raises one hand in greeting while walking through a hall. To his left a shaven-headed man in orange robes with a bracelet walks beside him, and behind them a shaven-headed man in a white dhoti with gold border stands near a red curtain and a projection screen at the top left. Two physical people are visible in the foreground plus one further figure in the background, so the count is three.

A photograph of a group walking through a temple interior at night. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a gold-and-bead necklace, gold armbands and an orange saffron garment with a gold border walks forward, appearing to speak. Probable Swamiji by appearance: long hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron clothing. Around him, several men wear saffron or orange robes with rudraksha malas, one in a white kurta with rudraksha beads, and a woman in a cream sari stands behind. Another man in a white kurta with rudraksha mala is at the right edge. A carved stone pillar and a metal rod are visible in the background.

A photograph of a group walking through a bright white-walled hall with a corrugated roof. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark wavy hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on his forehead. Beside him on the left, a bearded man in an orange robe with an orange turban and a silver chain walks alongside. On the right, a bare-chested man in an orange cloth with yellow edging and a beaded mala walks and looks ahead. Behind them, more saffron-clad sannyasis and white-clad men follow through the open doorway, and a few men in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background.

A photograph inside a building with a wooden door and a grille window. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red-and-white forehead mark wears an orange shawl over his shoulders and a thick ornate gold bead necklace with a gold pendant. Behind him, two younger men in orange robes walk, one wearing a rudraksha mala. On the right, an elderly white-haired man with a white moustache and tilak wears white clothes with a rainbow sash. Several other people are partially visible at the left edge and in the background. The visible cues on the central man (long hair, orange shawl, gold beaded necklace) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), appearing in person and walking with attendants.
