Outdoor photo on a dirt ground in front of an orange and yellow tented pavilion, with trees and a white vehicle behind. A central man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a red-and-white flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling. Around him people in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a gold-bordered sari, and uniformed police officers greet with folded hands. A young man at left wears a yellow shawl over white clothes. Physical figures are sharply visible; the orange-robed central man shows distinctive saffron clothing, orange turban and garland cues, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.

Outdoor photo on a dirt ground beside a white vehicle and a large white tent. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray with a green-leaved coconut offering, and pink flower petals fall through the air. A central figure in an orange robe and a white jasmine-and-rudraksha garland, with long hair, holds one palm raised in blessing. Behind them, a man in orange with a saffron wrap and a man in white kurta walk, and a man in a cream shirt holds a silver plate. At right, an older man in a cream kurta with folded hands smiles.

Outdoor photograph on a dirt ground beside a leafy tree, with a red and pink bunting string strung above at the right. A central man with long dark hair, a short beard, and a rudraksha mala wears a saffron-orange robe and smiles while standing among a group. Beside him, a man in a saffron robe with a shaved-looking head and bearded face wears a saffron shawl. To the left, a bald older man in orange robes stands near a man in a white-and-grey shirt. A woman in an orange sari stands at the right edge, and several men in white shirts and trousers stand around a white car. Visible cues are clothing and adornments only, so the central man's identity is uncertain.
