A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long garland of yellow marigolds and red flowers sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in red and black tiger-striped cushions. Before him, a girl in white with a rudraksha mala is being handed or receiving a small object by a woman in an orange-and-cream patterned sari. Other people in saffron and white stand around the throne; a small table draped in white holds flowers and a water bottle. Behind them, a wall display shows framed photographs of ascetics and yoga postures, with a bookshelf and a window with dark blue curtains. A painting of a deity murti is visible at the right edge.

A photograph of an indoor event in a hall with framed photographs on shelves and a banner with Telugu text above. A young man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with a garland of red and yellow flowers places his hand on the head of an older man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala. A woman in a white and gold sari with gold bangles stands at left with palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling. Behind them an older man in white and a boy observe. A table with fruit and flowers sits at right.

Indoor photo of a bookshop or book-display area with a black banner hanging high on the wall showing three panels: a figure in red patterned background seated in meditation, a figure in orange robes and turban seated on a rock labelled Enlightenment, and a figure in white robes with a white turban and rudraksha mala labelled with Telugu text. Below the banner, shelves hold many framed and packaged booklets and DVDs. Three people stand at a white plastic table: a young man in white with a yellow shawl, a boy in an orange-and-red checked lungi, and a man in white dhoti-style clothing with a yellow shawl who gestures toward the shelves. A white plastic chair stands in the foreground. A ceiling fan is mounted on the right.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red striped cushions, wearing a white-and-orange floral garland and a red bindi. A man in white clothes leans forward and presses his forehead to the seated figure's head while the seated figure places a hand on the bowed man's head, a blessing gesture. A woman in an orange sari with a white flower garland sits at lower left, and other partially visible people in orange sit at the bottom edge. A white-draped table holds stacked books, and the room has beige walls.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and red-tinted dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, long dark hair falling past the shoulders, a red mark on the forehead, and a wooden staff in one hand. He extends his other hand to touch the head of an elderly white-haired man in white shirt and trousers, seated in a white plastic chair with his hands folded at his chest. Behind them a younger man in orange garments stands on the right side of the throne, possibly assisting. Standing attendants wearing white shirts and trousers watch from the left, and a woman in a green and white patterned sari with folded hands stands at the right edge beside another woman in white. Gold drapery, a garland of orange and yellow flowers and red blossoms decorate the backdrop, and red carpeting covers the floor.

A photograph of a Navaratri celebration on stage. A woman in an orange saffron sari and rudraksha mala sits on a gold ornate throne with a red cushion, under a gold umbrella decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands. A young girl in a light floral dress and braided hair stands before her, hands together, while women in white saris with orange and gold borders and a man in white stand nearby. Behind them a large portrait of a smiling man with long hair, rudraksha mala and bare shoulders hangs beside a painting of a goddess with a crown and red-and-gold adornments. A child is held by a woman in a pink-and-white sari at left, and a bowing attendant in an orange robe stands at the front. Some people in the foreground are seated, watching.

Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a carved lion-form base, wearing orange saffron robes and a long red flower garland, with long hair swept back. A kneeling elder in a white kurta places a hand on the garlanded figure's shoulder. To the right, a young woman in a white sari with a gold border and a dark bead necklace sits beside a microphone stand. Behind them hangs a red-and-silver backdrop. The figure's appearance, long hair, orange robes and throne with garland are consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated in honour at an Ananda Samajam event.

A seated man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red-and-white forehead mark sits on a red velvet throne with gold carved panels. He reaches out to rest his right hand on the shoulder of an older man with grey hair and a white shirt, who bows his head toward him. Behind them stand several onlookers in white, orange and yellow garments, a man in an orange robe with a red shawl, and a bald man in white with an orange stole. A small brass vessel sits on a white table beside the throne, and a folded orange towel rests on the red seat. A man in a red polo shirt stands at the left edge.

A seated man in an orange saffron shawl, with a white flower garland and red and yellow flower garlands, places his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bends forward in devotion. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion. Behind them stands a monk in orange robes, and women in white and yellow dupattas stand to the left beside a wall. A black wooden board reads Dhyanapeetam and lists devotees who built Ananda Sabha. A stone carved pillar and a brass hanging bell appear in the background, with a clock on the orange wall. The seated figure wears a saffron shawl and garland, and his long swept-back hair matches the Swamiji cues; he is an appearance-based probable candidate.
