A photograph of a ceremonial reception in front of a floral backdrop of yellow, orange, purple and red flowers. A figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and a long yellow-and-pink flower garland, bowing with hands raised while another person offers a silver tray holding white cloth and small items. A bald man with white and red forehead markings and a white beard, wearing white, presses his palms together beside them. A younger man in orange cloth stands behind. A man at left, shirtless with orange-yellow beaded necklaces and white markings on his back, wears an orange dhoti with a red-and-green border and holds the tray. a person candidate: the bowing figure with long hair, orange robe and garland has a distinctive presentation, but the face is partly lowered and the appearance is not clear enough to confirm.

Outdoor ceremony under a white canopy with purple drapery hung with yellow and orange marigold garlands. A bare-chested sannyasi in orange cloth, with long tousled hair, leans forward to accept an object from a shaved-headed monk in orange robes who holds it with both hands. A seated man with long dark hair, a red garment and cream shawl, wearing a flower garland, smiles at the exchange and appears to be Swamiji (probable) on the basis of his long swept-back hair, red and gold ceremonial dress, garland and seated position of honour. Seated beside him are orange-robed monks and white-clad elders on red-cushioned chairs, with onlookers standing behind them.

A photograph of a reception on a stage draped in red fabric. In the centre, a bearded man in a saffron-orange robe with a red-orange tilak on his forehead stands with palms pressed together, wearing a long garland of yellow and orange marigolds. To his left, a man in a red turban and dark red robe with a gold-yellow waistband smiles and gestures with his hands toward him. To his right, a bald man in wire-rimmed glasses and maroon robes with a gold-yellow border holds a wooden tray of white flowers and garlands. Behind them are ornate gold-framed shrines with deity murtis decorated with flower garlands, a brass oil lamp, and a canopy with colourful fringe. Whether the central figure is the person named on the page cannot be determined from appearance, so this description uses roles only.

Outdoor ceremony under a yellow, orange and blue canopy with trees behind. A bare-chested man with long dark hair tied back and a full beard, wearing an orange cloth, reaches forward to embrace or greet an older bald man with glasses, a red tilak on his forehead, and a golden-orange shawl. A man in a white striped shirt stands with his back to the camera at right, and monks in orange robes stand at left, one holding a microphone. A garland of white flowers hangs from the older man's arm. The scene appears to be a formal greeting or honouring at a religious event.
