A photograph of a seated man on an ornate red-cushioned throne with gold carved wood behind him, wearing a rust-orange cloth wrap and a heavy brown beaded necklace with gold bead strands, gold bangles and bracelets, and a gold earring, with a red tilak on his forehead. He reaches out to take a gold-bordered printed booklet held by an older man with glasses at the left edge. Beside him a younger man in a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala, with white and red forehead markings, looks on. Red drapes and a microphone stand are in the background. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, recognised by the swept-back long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-orange robe.

A seated figure in a red-orange turban with a gold ornament and a large rudraksha mala with a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, extending a hand and holding a stack of white cards. Beside him, an elderly man with grey hair and a beard, wearing an orange robe and shawl, bows forward with his hands near the throne's gold lion-head armrest. Behind them is a large banner portrait of a smiling woman in a red turban and gold-trimmed clothing. A second orange-robed man stands at the upper left, hands pressed together in greeting. The figure on the throne is an appearance-based candidate and the visible cues are a red turban with a gold crest, rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, so he is labelled a person in the sense of a probable candidate; the page does not confirm his presence.

Photo of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair and white vibhuti marks on his forehead and arms, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a dark rudraksha mala. He is seated on a red cushion before an ornate gold throne-like backrest, pouring or applying white paste or ash into the cupped hands of a younger man in a teal button-up shirt who kneels before him. A small ornate brass or silver kalasha-style pot sits near the seated man's lap. Carved stone pillars and a gilded background fill the setting. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha adornment consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so he is.

A seated man with long dreadlocked hair and a full beard sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red cushion, smiling and gesturing with an open hand. He wears a rust-orange robe, a matching orange shawl, a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, a gold ceremonial necklace, gold earrings, and beaded rudraksha armbands on both arms. Beside him on the left, a man in a white shirt sits with palms pressed together in greeting. Next to him, a man with a vibhuti mark on his forehead, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and a white dhoti, holds a red fruit in his hands. Brass lamps stand in the background on a dark red carpet. The seated figure matches the appearance cues for a person, seated in a position of teaching, with two attendants.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl and multiple rudraksha malas sits on a red and black tiger-striped cushion in front of a golden throne. He has long dark hair tied back, white vibhuti and a red tilak on his forehead, gold earrings, and a small microphone clipped near his face. He smiles while handing a book to a hand reaching in from the lower right; his other arm is extended toward the left. Behind him at left, an older man in orange clothes with a rudraksha mala sits on another gold throne. A gold lion-like carved armrest is visible. The setting appears to be a temple or satsang hall.

A photograph of a ceremonial scene inside a temple hall. A seated man on a red-cushioned silver throne wears a leopard-print headband with flowers in his hair, a brown-red shawl, a white and red floral garland, gold armbands and a gold chain. He is smiling and gesturing with both raised hands toward a shirtless devotee seen from behind in a white and yellow cloth, who also raises open palms. To the left, a young attendant in orange dhoti with white markings on his arms and rudraksha beads holds up a white sheet of paper. A figure in orange and white is partly visible at the lower right, and a gold-decorated background is behind. a person appears as the seated figure, identified by his long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, and ceremonial throne with garland. Crowd is small.

A photograph of a ritual blessing inside a temple-like hall. A man with long matted dreadlocks, wearing a rust-red cloth, a heavy gold bead necklace, gold armlets and red beaded bracelets, extends his right arm to press his palm onto the head of a seated devotee. The devotee, bare-chested with a sacred thread and a vertical white mark on his forehead, presses his palms together in reverence. In front is a small golden deity murti of a goddess with a crown and necklaces, flanked by bird figures. Behind them stand people in white dhotis and a woman in a saffron-brown sari with rudraksha beads, against a wooden pillar. The man with dreadlocks appears to be a person, given his long hair, rudraksha-style adornments and gold necklace, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
