Outdoor photo on a dirt courtyard at an ashram. A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a flowing saffron-orange robe and dhoti walks forward holding a wooden walking staff, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. Behind him a crowd of people in white clothes stands near a whitewashed building with a hanging bell, and a woman in a white outfit with a blue bag stands at right beside bamboo blinds and white plastic chairs. A cameraperson in white with an orange cloth lifts a camera. The description is an appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), walking with a staff, dressed in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and long hair. A bottled water and plastic chairs sit in the foreground.

A smiling man with long dark hair walks down a dirt path beside a long building with bamboo blinds, holding a tall wooden staff. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a line of women and men in white clothes stand near tables set with steel vessels and plates, with thatched roofs and a white building in the background. A cameraman stands among them. The scene appears to be an ashram at Aadi Kailaasa.

A smiling man with long dark hair stands outdoors in front of a stone wall and trees, wearing an orange saffron shawl with gold-edged border draped over his bare shoulder and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads. A red bindi is on his forehead and a white marking is visible. Behind him, several people in everyday and white clothing, including a woman in a cream sari with red border and a woman in a dark patterned sari, look on, some holding papers and phones. Probable Swamiji is presented in this appearance-based label given his saffron shawl, long hair and rudraksha mala, but this is not a confirmed identification.

A photograph at night of a man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange and red saffron wrap over a bare chest and a rudraksha mala necklace, smiling as he walks forward holding a small blue and yellow box. He appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala. Behind him, several people in white dhotis and white saris stand on a dirt floor near a red-walled building with a doorway decorated with hanging green leaf garlands. A white-draped seat or table with a cushion sits to the right, and a small table holds a water bottle and papers.
