A smiling man in saffron-orange robes with bare shoulders stands in a temple hall, wearing a long gold necklace of large beads, a white and green-leaf garland with red flowers, and a gold chain. He has a white vibhuti stripe and red kumkum dot on his forehead, and a red and white garland around his neck. A man in a white shirt bends forward and reaches toward his forehead, hands pressed together in respect. Behind them a video camera on a tripod and a shaved-headed attendant in orange are visible, along with a blue door and a gold-framed seat. The orange-robed man with long swept-back hair and ornate gold beads matches the a person cues, but the face is not used for identification; the role is a sannyasi receiving a devotee's blessing.

A smiling person with long dark hair in a bun, gold hoop earrings, a green and white flower garland and an orange-saffron shawl places a hand on the head of an older man in a white shirt who bows forward with hands together. Several other men stand around them, including a man at left with white sacred markings on his forehead wearing an orange-saffron garment and beaded mala. The long-haired figure is a person candidate by appearance: long swept hair, ornate gold armband and bangles, saffron shawl and garland, offering a blessing.

A photograph inside a bright hall with pink walls, ceiling lights and red curtains. In the foreground a smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-brown robe, a thick gold necklace and a long pink, white and yellow flower garland. He raises one hand in greeting. Beside him a man in a white shirt stands with hands folded, and other devotees, some in orange and gold saris, stand along a metal barrier. A gold-lit altar and deity murti are visible in the background. Presentation cues (flower garland, saffron robe, gold ornaments) suggest a person in person, greeting devotees.

A photograph of an indoor hall during a gathering. On the right, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a bare-chested upper body wears a long orange-beaded garland and a heavy gold ornamental necklace, with a beaded armband on his upper arm; he is speaking closely with a group. Around him stand several men in white shirts and striped shirts, and a bald man with a white forehead marking and a saffron shawl. Behind them are more saffron-clad people, a red-draped stage area, a projection screen, a hanging yellow cloth and a colourful striped pillar with tassels. Several people are visible in the background.

A seated man in orange saffron robes and long dark hair, wearing a red bindi and garlands of white and red roses, smiles broadly and raises one hand in greeting from a gilded throne. Beside him, a man in white ritual dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and gold bracelet leans in with a hand on his chest, smiling in reply. Behind them a second figure in white clothes sits partly visible, and pink lotus flowers rest on the red cushions. Behind the throne stand carved stone pillars, a gold finial and green trees under orange drapery.

A photograph of a satsang-style hall where a man in a rust-red and gold-bordered garment with a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and gold armlets places his hand on the head of a bowed, grey-haired man. The bowed man and a man in a white shirt with glasses stand with palms pressed together in namaste along a line of silver stanchions. The man in the red garment has long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a broad smile; the hall behind has a red velvet drape, a gold-decorated throne with a red cushion, a lectern, camera tripods and seated devotees in white. The man in the red garment is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-gold clothing, placing his hand on a devotee's head in blessing.

A photograph of devotees greeting a man with long swept-back dark hair, orange-saffron robe, red flower garlands and gold ornamental necklace on the right. A woman in a yellow blouse and orange saree with a teal border presses her palms together in namaste on the left. A man in a teal shirt and glasses leans in smiling, and a woman in a white sari with a red shawl stands beside him. Another woman in white with a red shawl and an older woman in white sari are visible behind, with a partially visible bald person at the right edge. Shelves with small items and a white wall form the background. A man with long hair, orange robe, multiple red garlands and a gold necklace, who has the qualifying cues, appears central-right, so the swamiji candidate is probable.
