A photograph of an indoor darshan line in a bright hall with large windows. A man with long, swept-back black hair and a sleeveless saffron-orange robe stands at right, holding a small wooden box containing a yellow fruit and a folded paper slip, while his left arm extends to touch or bless the head of a person in the line. He wears white ash markings on his forehead. Several devotees stand close, including a woman with a red bindi and a woman in a white top with pink flower print, and bangled wrists are visible at lower left. Overhead are metal trusses and fluorescent lights.

A standing man in an orange saffron dhoti-style wrap and a long rudraksha mala stands with one hand on his hip and eyes closed, a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. He stands in front of a large seated audience, many wearing white clothes and white blindfold-style cloths over their eyes, some in yellow. Orange tassels and a decorative hanging hang at the top of the hall.

Photograph of two men walking through a plain white interior corridor toward a dark wooden doorway. In the centre, a man in an orange robe wrapped around the body and an orange turban smiles while looking to the side, with long dark hair visible at the back of his neck. He appears to match a person by the orange clothing and turban, though the cues are not strongly distinctive. Beside him on the right, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala walks with a serious expression. A blurred figure in white and orange stands at the left edge, and another partially visible figure is at the far right.

A photograph of a relief distribution under a corrugated metal shelter with bamboo supports after a storm, with bare, damaged trees and green vegetation outside. A man in an orange saffron robe with an orange turban stands at the left beside a pillar, one arm extended, smiling toward a group. Several women and a man in the foreground face him; one woman wears a pale top and has a long braid, and others wear saris. On the counter are folded colourful clothes, a bag of goods and a cardboard box. Video cameras are visible at the right edge. A man in white stands at the left in the background. Appearance is consistent with a saffron-robed sannyasi wearing a turban, though this cannot be confirmed from the image alone.

A smiling man with long dark wavy hair stands outdoors on a sandy ground, wearing a sleeveless orange saffron wrap draped over his shoulders. He has a white sacred ash line and a red kumkum dot on his forehead and is gesturing with one open hand. Behind him are rows of red and white painted pillars and a scatter of footwear on the ground. Another person in orange robes is partially visible at the left edge. The probable Swamiji cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and sacred forehead markings, while the identity remains unconfirmed from appearance alone.

Photograph of a long-haired man in the foreground wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment draped over his shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead, turning his head to the left. Behind him, a smiling man in an orange robe with a red mark on his forehead stands at a doorway, and another man in a white shirt and a partly visible figure in orange stand nearby. The foreground figure has long swept-back dark hair and the cues of a saffron-clad sannyasi, so he is a person candidate photographed in person.

A photograph of a seated man in a bright saffron-orange sleeveless garment with a draped orange shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala of dark beads and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back. He sits on a rocky ground beneath a leafy tree, smiling and looking to the side. Around him, several men wear white kurta-dhoti clothing with orange shawls, some seated and some standing with hands clasped. A woman with dark hair sits at the lower right edge, partly cropped. The setting appears to be an outdoor gathering.

Outdoor photo at an event with a crowd behind a low orange stage. A man in orange robes stands centre-right with long dark hair swept back, a red bindi on his forehead, a bare-shouldered orange wrap, and his right hand on his hip, smiling toward the audience. Beside him on the left, a man in an orange kurta holds a handheld microphone. Behind them, blurred devotees in white, green and yellow saris sit among a car and buildings at dusk.
