Outdoor photograph on a dirt path beside a green metal gate and leafy trees with yellow flowers. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe with a white and red flower garland stands barefoot, arm extended, smiling. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels with palms pressed together in greeting, and a devotee bends forward beside him. A bearded man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands to the left, and a silver car is parked in the foreground. A man in white holds a brass plate with a green leaf offering at right, and another person in white stands at the edge.

Outdoor photo beside a silver SUV with a corrugated metal fence behind. A man with long dark hair and an orange saffron wrap, garlanded with a white flower and red-and-green garland, bows his head while an older bald man in white clothes raises a hand in blessing toward him. A bearded man in an orange robe and glasses stands behind with palms pressed together in greeting, and a man in white with a beaded mala is at the right edge. A foreground devotee's head is visible at lower right, and a flower offering with white blossoms sits at lower left.

A photograph taken outside a building with pillars beside a silver minivan. A man in orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair stands at the centre, wearing a white floral garland and a red-flowered garland, smiling as people bow to him. A man in a white shirt bends low and reaches toward his hands, while others in white shirts and formal clothes stand around. Two women in saris with jasmine flowers in their braided hair lean forward, and a young man in a maroon shirt stands at the right. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair and orange saffron robes with garlands, seen as a person being honoured by devotees, not a crowd count of the event.

A photograph of an outdoor street arrival on a dirt road beside a white car. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over the shoulder and waist, stands barefoot in the middle of the road with a long garland of white jasmine and red flowers hanging to the waist. A man in white dhoti and shirt bows low at the figure's feet, touching the ground near the bare feet, while another man in white with folded hands stands behind holding a brass vessel with flowers on a plate. A bearded man in an orange kurta with a rudraksha mala and orange shawl stands to the left, and a woman in a striped sari smiles nearby. A cameraman in a red shirt films behind, and a green metal gate and yellow-flowering trees form the background. The central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a garland, matching the a person cues; it is a probable candidate, present in person.

He wears a long garland of white flowers with pink, purple and green threads, a heavy gold chain and a red tilak on his forehead. Several people in white shirts and dhotis surround him, one bending forward in the foreground, and a boy in orange clothing with a red mark on his forehead stands at right. A roof rack is visible on the vehicle behind.

Outdoor photo at a Bidadi festival site where a white car is parked on a dirt road. A smiling woman in orange and saffron robes with a marigold garland steps out of the open rear door, with an older woman in orange beside her. Two saffron-clad men hold white jasmine garlands with red roses ready to offer, and one wears an orange turban and a rudraksha mala. A man in white shirt and orange shawl stands at the car door, and a man in a red-and-white camera in the foreground photographs the scene. Behind them, a crowd in white and yellow clothing gathers near a decorated procession canopy with bright cloth hangings and a pole.

Outdoors beside a silver SUV, a smiling figure in saffron-orange robes with a long multicolour flower garland (yellow, pink, purple, white) and a rudraksha mala is being garlanded and steadied by a person in white clothing. Around them, white-clad men with bare upper bodies and gold-bordered dhotis, one holding a mala, press hands together in greeting, and a camera operator films from the right. A tent and a brick wall stand in the background, and the person with long hair and orange robes and a saffron head wrap is a probable Swamiji, based on the flower garland, saffron robes, long swept hair and rudraksha beads.

Outdoor photo of a crowd greeting arrivals at a roadside event. In the foreground, a saffron-robed figure with a long orange head wrap and a bare upper body holds up a white and red flower garland, and a second saffron-robed figure wearing a saffron head wrap and a white and red garland is stepping toward a white car. Behind them, orange-robed sannyasis, men in white kurtas, and a man in a dark blue suit stand near the open car door. Onlookers with raised phones, police officers in khaki uniforms with caps, and a yellow tent with flags fill the background. Sun-lit dirt ground and vehicles surround the group.
