A photograph of an indoor room with dark wood panelling, a red valance and a white satin curtain behind. A standing man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing layered gold necklaces, gold armlets and a gold waist belt, with a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, stands at left with his hand extended toward a seated woman in a red-and-white sari who is wearing a jasmine flower in her hair. Nearby, a bald man in orange clothes and a rudraksha mala stands behind a tray. At left a red tray holds small packets and a gold-and-red ornate chair is visible.

A photograph of a devotional gathering in an indoor hall with red drapes. In the foreground, a bald man in an orange shirt and a man in a white shirt press their palms together in namaste toward a central figure. A bare-shouldered woman in an orange wrap wears a long white jasmine garland with red flowers and gold bangles, and reaches forward with her hand over a red tray holding gold objects and papers. On the right, a man in an orange and yellow-bordered wrap wears a dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, looking downward while another devotee's hands are folded beside him. Behind them, a young man in orange robes wears a rudraksha mala and a tilak. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan, with the hall's decor visible in the background.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne in front of a deep red velvet curtain. The seated figure, with long swept-back dark hair and a bare chest draped in orange cloth, smiles and holds a long rudraksha mala that he lowers toward a young devotee in a white shirt with an orange shawl who bows his head. A man in a white shirt bends forward at the lower left, and a partly visible person stands at the far left edge. A small white tray is held near the bowing devotee. The distinctive orange-and-hair presentation and throne suggest a person, seated and giving blessing with a rudraksha mala. Four people are visible.

A photograph of an indoor hall with white ceiling lights and red curtained windows. In the foreground on the right, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, gold earrings, a long orange-red rudraksha mala and an orange-red shawl with gold border stands with his right arm extended. Beside him, a man in a white shirt bows forward with his hands together, reaching toward the extended arm. On the left, a bespectacled man in white with an orange lanyard holds a string of orange-red rudraksha beads and a small gold-coloured object in his open palms. Behind them, several men in white shirts, orange robes and dhotis stand near metal barrier railings, with more people in white saris and white clothes further back.

A young man in a red checked shirt and khaki trousers leans forward to hand a book to a seated figure in a red-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala and gold armbands, on a red velvet chair. Beside him, saffron-robed monks sit on the floor with malas, and a gold throne stands at right. Several other men stand in the background of a plain room with a standing air conditioner, fans and maroon curtains. Stacks of books rest on the red chair. The seated figure on the red chair is an appearance-based a person candidate.

A photograph inside a large indoor hall with red-curtained windows and ceiling lights. In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange sash over bare shoulders, with a long orange-red beaded mala around his neck and a gold-bordered orange wrap, stands at right with a white bandage on his forearm, extending his hand. His hair is swept back in a bun and he wears a red mark on his forehead and gold earrings. A man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard leans in and holds out a hand while a man in a white shirt and glasses applies a red mark to his palm. Several other people stand in the background, some in white and some in striped shirts, and a bright shrine decoration is visible at the far right. Whether the saffron-clad man is the Swamiji is an appearance-based judgment: the orange mala, saffron-gold wrap and swept-back hair are present, so this is a probable candidate.
