Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a red velvet cushion and gilded carved back. The central figure wears a red-orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a red-orange robe, a thick golden necklace and a large rudraksha mala, and holds one hand raised in blessing while the other rests open. To the left, a man in white dhoti and rudraksha mala holds the arm of a devotee in an orange robe and white headband who bows deeply with hands together. To the right, a woman in a white sari with gold border and red bindi holds a folded white cloth, and another woman in a red-orange garment stands at the edge. Red curtains and brass lamps form the backdrop.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest and red cushions, wearing an orange-red turban, orange-red robes and a thick gold-and-beaded garland. A man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands at left with hands clasped, and a young boy in white shirt and white dhoti kneels at the throne's base to the left. At right, a woman in an orange-red sari with a beaded necklace holds a small object, and a young boy in white shirt with blue stripes bends forward at the throne's side, reaching toward the seated figure. A man in white dhoti with gold borders stands at far right with hands folded in greeting.

A ceremonial puja scene before a large ornate gilded throne with a dark red curtain behind it. A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits at the centre, wearing a white garland and a sandalwood-marked forehead, smiling as he gestures with his hand. Standing to the left, a man in white dhoti with gold borders pours liquid from a small vessel into a brass plate. On the right, a woman in a white sari with gold border stands with hands joined. Another man with bare upper body and white ash markings sits at far left. A brass vessel and a red-and-gold cloth lie on a low gold platform in front, with green leaves in the foreground. The seated man may be a person based on orange robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold seat, but the appearance cues are limited.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne with a tall gilded back before dark red drapes. He wears a long layered rudraksha-style mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and one hand is extended. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and saris with gold borders bow and attend: a man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti rests a hand on the head of a bowing person in white, and a woman in a white sari holds up a small paper, while others in orange garments stand nearby. A brass lamp stands at the left and a gold-edged dais sits below the throne. The appearance matches the a person cues of saffron clothing, turban and mala on the throne, so the seated figure is a person in person.

A photograph in an ornate hall with red and gold decor. A bald man with a red-orange shawl, a flower garland and a tilak sits on a large gilded throne with lion-head armrests and red tiger-striped cushions. He smiles and gestures with one hand. In front of the throne, a man in white kneels with palms pressed together. To the right, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands with her arms outstretched. A silver tray of bananas sits in the foreground.

A seated figure in an orange-red saffron robe and matching red turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold back and red cushions, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and a large garland around the neck, eyes closed, hands resting open on the armrests. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby: one at left bends forward toward the throne, the other at right, with palms pressed together in namaste, is accompanied by a younger man in white. Red curtains, a gold lamp stand and a gold chariot-like carved panel frame the scene on a red-carpeted stage. Several people in white attire attend the seated figure, consistent with a devotional gathering.

A photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange-saffron garment draped over one shoulder with a gold border and a heavy necklace of gold beads. He has a red tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrists, and is reading a small white paper handed to him by a second man seen from behind in a white striped shirt. A brass oil lamp and a golden bird-shaped finial stand in the background. The seated man is a strong appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, gold bead necklace and throne, so the swamiji field is in_person.
