A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange garment with a white and red flower garland and a gold rudraksha-style bead necklace, gripping a thick white rope with both hands. He has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, looking downward. Behind him are palm fronds against a pale sky. The visible cues are long hair, saffron clothing, a garland and gold beads; the appearance-based identity is probable Swamiji, shown at a ritual event involving a rope, possibly a dhwajarohanam flag-hoisting, though the rope is clearly visible without further detail.

A man in an orange saffron garment with a long orange cord-and-white cloth held in both hands stands on a raised float decorated with garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace over the saffron cloth and has a red tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back hair. Behind him a coconut palm frond fills the background and a gilded ornamental pillar with floral garlands stands at left. Another person in orange is partially visible at the lower right. The scene resembles a procession moment on a decorated ratha or palanquin, with a Swamiji (probable) candidate on the float based on the orange clothing, long hair and gold necklaces.

Close photo of a man with long, swept-back black hair, a red kumkum mark and white vibhuti lines on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron shawl and a double garland of white flowers with red petals plus gold bead necklaces. Behind him, a brass vessel with flowers and a blurred crowd suggest a temple ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange saffron clothing, gold beads and garlands match the appearance cues for the presentation, so the person is recorded as in person.

A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a red bindi, eyes closed and smiling, holding a white cloth tied to an orange rope overhead. He wears a thick gold necklace, rudraksha mala, gold armlets and bangles, and a garland of white flowers and pink-red blossoms. A green parrot perches on his shoulder against palm fronds in bright daylight. The image is a photo of an individual person; the presenter's appearance has a distinctive cluster of cues (long swept hair, ornate gold, rudraksha, garland) consistent with the archive's a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A man in an orange turban and orange robe stands outdoors beside a white pole, gripping a rope with his right hand. He wears a red bindi on his forehead, a long garland of white and red flowers, and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces with bells. Behind him a red canopy with multicoloured tassels hangs above green trees. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe, flower garland and gold necklaces match the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, though the appearance is only a partial match.
