A photograph of a seated ritual gathering indoors. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange saffron garment over a red undershirt, with a white and green flower garland and a rudraksha mala, and his hands are joined in front of a microphone on a stand. Behind him, men in white dhotis and orange shawls sit on white cloth, one with a white tilak on his forehead, and a woman in glasses in white and orange sits at the right. Behind them hang orange drapes and a silver metal pole, with yellow marigold petals and offerings on a white stone platform in the foreground.

A photograph of a seated speaker in an orange saffron robe with a long white and orange flower garland, speaking into a microphone on a stand at a gathering. Behind him, several seated devotees in orange shawls and white clothes sit on a floor with a bright orange-yellow curtain backdrop. A few have white and orange tilak on the forehead, and one wears a rudraksha mala. Yellow flower petals lie on the table in front. Several people are visible in the frame.

A photograph of a seated speaker in orange clothing addressing a gathering at a microphone. The central figure wears an orange garment over bare shoulders, a large white flower garland with green and blue ribbon accents, and rudraksha beads, with long dark hair swept back. Beside him, a young man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala sits with a white forehead mark, and to the left another seated man in white and orange looks down. Behind them, rows of people in white and orange sit before orange drapes, with a tall gold pole and a silver ceremonial staff with a trident-like finial at right. Because the page notes Swamiji at this event, the central figure has distinctive visible cues: long swept-back hair, a flower garland and rudraksha beads, and orange clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate physically present.

A seated speaker at a microphone stand in front of an orange-draped backdrop, wearing a saffron robe, a white and orange-green flower garland, and a rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on the forehead and long hair swept back. Behind him, seated devotees in saffron shawls and white clothes listen, one with a white tilak on his forehead, another wearing a rudraksha mala. Yellow flower petals lie on the table in front. The speaker appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance cues of saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and long hair, presented at a satsang-style gathering.

A man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back hair and a red bindi stands speaking into a microphone on a stand, wearing a multicolour garland of white flowers with green, white and orange ribbons and a dark rudraksha mala. He gestures with his right hand. Behind him, a bright orange curtain and gold-and-silver poles frame the scene, and seated men in saffron and white clothing listen, one at left with white tilak on his forehead and a red cushion beside him. The appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala are consistent with Swamiji (probable), who appears to be addressing the gathering in person.

Photograph of a seated ritual gathering indoors, with a central figure in an orange ochre garment with a red-and-blue-and-white flower garland, hands pressed together in anjali, eyes closed, a red tilak mark on the forehead, and a microphone on a stand in front. Flanking him are devotees in white dhotis and saffron-orange shawls, some with hands folded in prayer. A white brick platform in the foreground holds scattered yellow flowers, a small offering vessel and incense sticks. Behind them, a golden pillar, silver ritual staffs and orange curtains are visible. The central figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron clothing with a garland, which are appearance cues consistent with Swamiji (probable) leading the ritual; the group is seated in prayer.
