Indoor devotional scene in a hall with a wooden ceiling and fluorescent lights. On the left, a seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and a white flower garland, smiling as they receive something from a man on the right. The man wears a striped grey-and-maroon collared shirt and a rudraksha mala, and holds small offerings in his palm. Behind them, a woman in a blue floral dress stands watching, and a few other attendees are visible in the background. A red and white flower garland hangs on the left edge. Visible elements suggest a devotional offering; the seated figure matches the appearance of Swamiji (probable) through long hair, orange robe and garland, though the identification is appearance-based only.

Indoor photo at a Holi-era event hall with a projector screen and red and gold decorations behind. On the right, a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair wears orange-saffron cloth and a long orange rudraksha-style mala with gold ceremonial beads, and gestures warmly toward men in white shirts. A shaved-headed man in orange-red cloth with a white forehead mark and beads stands beside him, smiling. On the left, two men in white shirts face him and smile, and a row of standing men in white and striped shirts watches in the background. a person is visible as the central figure with long hair, saffron cloth, and ornate gold beads, greeting visitors.

Outdoor relief camp scene in a village setting. A man seated in a white plastic chair wears an orange saffron dhoti-style garment, a white and purple flower garland, and multiple beaded bracelets on his wrists. He extends one arm and gestures toward a man in a striped collared shirt with a backpack who leans in close, holding a small open white box with red contents. Around them stand people in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in white on the left, and a person in red athletic clothing behind. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and orange ceremonial clothing, a compatible presentation for a person as the event subject, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

Indoor photo of a home visit in a small room with pale blue walls and framed certificates. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and orange-red dhoti sits on a red cushion at right, smiling and gesturing with his open hand toward visitors. Behind him a shaved-headed attendant in saffron robes and rudraksha mala stands holding a silver staff. A photographer in orange robes raises a camera in the background. At left a man in a pink striped shirt and an older man in white with a marigold and multicolour garland face the seated figure; a woman in white stands at the edge. A striped mat, brass plate, lamps and fruit lie on the floor. Seated figure matches the page's Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial clothing, labelled probable.

A photograph inside a large indoor hall with red-curtained windows and ceiling lights. In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange sash over bare shoulders, with a long orange-red beaded mala around his neck and a gold-bordered orange wrap, stands at right with a white bandage on his forearm, extending his hand. His hair is swept back in a bun and he wears a red mark on his forehead and gold earrings. A man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard leans in and holds out a hand while a man in a white shirt and glasses applies a red mark to his palm. Several other people stand in the background, some in white and some in striped shirts, and a bright shrine decoration is visible at the far right. Whether the saffron-clad man is the Swamiji is an appearance-based judgment: the orange mala, saffron-gold wrap and swept-back hair are present, so this is a probable candidate.

Other men in white clothes and a few women and children stand behind.
