Photograph of a man in a dark red-maroon sleeveless wrap with a long orange rudraksha mala with gold bead ornaments, holding folded white papers and gesturing with an open hand while smiling at a bald man with gold hoop earrings and a white forehead mark who has his palms joined in greeting. Other onlookers in white and green shirts stand behind in a dim temple hall. The smiling man has long swept-back dark hair, white sacred ash markings and a red forehead dot. Whether the smiling man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the role is given as a devotee receiving a greeting.

A man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vertical tilak and red bindi, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, multiple rudraksha malas, gold ornamental beads, a gold pendant and rudraksha armbands, stands reading from a sheet of white paper with eyes lowered. Around him, devotees with folded hands and outstretched palms gather; an elderly man in white on the left and a young girl in green in the foreground watch closely. A red curtain and a deity image with a crescent ornament appear in the background, in a hall setting. The figure matches several cues of the a person candidate, so this is a probable identification from appearance, not a confirmed one.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a wrap with a dense gold ceremonial necklace and gold armband, holding a white sheet of paper and reading it while people gather around. Probable Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange clothing and heavy gold ceremonial ornaments, the cues for a presiding guru in this archive. Around him, a bald orange-robed devotee stands at left with rudraksha beads, a grey-haired man in white with a raised palm, a man in white with a mustache, and a shaved-headed man in white behind. Blurred onlookers fill a hall with a red curtain behind them.

A smiling man with long dark hair swept back, wearing a saffron-orange wrap, a thick gold bead necklace, and a large pink and white flower garland, extends his right hand toward a devotee at the left. Several men stand around him with their palms pressed together in greeting; one in a pink shirt and one in a striped shirt are visible. Behind them a red curtain and gold-decorated altar or throne frame are seen. The scene suggests a darshan moment; the man with the gold necklace and saffron wrap is an appearance-based a person candidate, marked as such.

A photograph of an indoor ashram hall with a row of men in front of a tiled backdrop and hanging saffron and orange fabric. In the centre, a long-haired man in a peach-pink dhoti-style wrap and multiple gold beaded necklaces smiles while receiving a folded white paper from a bare-hand offering. Beside him, a man in an orange robe holds a silver plate with a yellow cloth, and a young man in white with a red shawl stands behind. Several devotees on the left, dressed in white and pastel shirts, have their palms joined in greeting. Cloth bunting and a white canopy frame the hall. The long-haired central figure has distinctive adornments and clothing cues consistent with the page's a person reference, though his appearance alone is not conclusive.
