A photograph of an office entrance being opened, with a long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala walking through the doorway, hands held together at the chest. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala. Behind him, an older man in white shirt and white dhoti walks in, and another man in white shirt carries a tray. The doorway is decorated with a green leaf torana and a strand of flower garland. Two or three onlookers in light clothing stand outside a barred window on the right. Bare white-tiled floor and pale walls.

A photograph inside a bright, plain room with pink walls and a white tiled floor. In the centre, a figure with long, swept-back dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a rudraksha mala draped over the chest, walking toward a right-side altar. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand near the open white door at left; one holds a brass tray of flowers. A third man in white and an elderly man in white dhoti stand at left. On the right, a framed portrait with a garland of yellow and red flowers sits on a white-draped table with flower offerings and a lamp. Through a barred window, several people are visible outside among trees, with a green garland strung across the top left.

Inside a bare, white-walled hall with a polished pale floor and barred windows, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala carries a silver kalasha-style vessel and a small silver lamp. Beside him walks a younger man in an orange saffron shawl with a gold beaded garland, long hair swept back, and a distinctive ornate gold necklace; this appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), walking in procession. An older man in white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala walks alongside. At right, a person in orange robes is seen from behind, and a camera operator is partly visible at the edge.

A photograph of a covered open-sided hall with an orange corrugated roof and red-framed windows. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe walks barefoot across a striped green, pink and blue mat, smiling and looking down. He wears orange garments wrapped over his body. To his right, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style pendant holds a rolled item and walks alongside. Behind them a man in white and another in orange move through the room, and a pedestal fan, white plastic chairs and a table stand nearby. A large printed banner on the back wall shows a man in white turban-like headwear. A camera operator is visible at the left edge. The long hair, orange saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive and align with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.

Indoor photograph in a tiled hall with a grilled window and a dark wall board. Three people walk across the floor. The central figure, a man with long swept-back dark hair, wears a plain saffron-orange robe and holds his hands together in front of him, smiling. To the left, a woman in a white dress with an orange scarf carries a garland of yellow and pink flowers. To the right, a man in white with a yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala walks past. A small fire pit sits on the floor in the foreground.

A man with long, swept-back dark wavy hair and a red bindi stands in a white-walled room beside a table stacked with books and small brass figurines. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over a rust-orange top and a rudraksha-style necklace, and looks to his left with a smile. Behind him, a second man in glasses and white clothes stands in a doorway. A metal shelf holds books, a framed photograph of a seated figure in meditation, and brass statues; a window with yellow blinds is on the left.

A photograph of an indoor room with a staircase and a window with metal grilles. A person in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a bare shoulder and a red forehead mark walks across a dark tiled floor in orange sandals; their long dark hair is swept back. A man in a white kurta stands at left holding a folder, and a woman in white with a red shawl sits on the stairs near rosary-like beads. A white plastic chair and red chair sit in the foreground, and a table draped in light blue cloth with a small brass lamp and offerings stands at right. Appearance-based label: a person, walking in saffron clothing with a red forehead mark and swept-back hair.

A photograph taken indoors in a plain whitewashed room with barred windows and a framed picture on the wall. A man in a saffron-orange wrap and an orange head wrap stands at left, long dark hair falling over his shoulders, gesturing with his right hand. Beside him stands a second man in a white shirt and white dhoti at right, partly cropped. Behind them on the floor are stone sculptures, including a standing deity murti, and rough stone blocks. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), a saffron-clad figure with long hair and a head wrap, visible in person.
