Photograph of an indoor event hall with pink walls and a ceiling of fluorescent lights. In the centre, a bare-chested figure wearing an orange-red turban, a long beaded rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold-and-beaded arm bands stands with a gold-bordered orange cloth wrapped at the waist. The figure holds a white paper and is receiving a folded paper from a man in a striped shirt who presses his palms together. Beside them a bald man in a saffron-orange sannyasi robe with a rudraksha mala and eyeglasses watches, and a man in a grey-haired white shirt on the left folds his hands in greeting. Additional people stand in the background, some in white and green shirts. a person appearance cues are present but partly obscured, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a seated figure with long dreadlocks, wearing a rust-brown turban and a brown robe with a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, extending a hand toward a group of men standing around him. Several men wear white shirts or dhotis with orange and yellow shawls and garlands; one bare-chested man in a red-and-maroon dhoti holds a rudraksha mala and offers something. A man in the centre holds a small object in cupped hands, and another raises a phone. Red curtains and a red carpet are behind them, with a bright light glare at the centre. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and a turban, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate presenting a blessing or offering to the devotees, with the surrounding men as devotees.
