A photograph in a bright hall with pale columns and blue doorframes. In the foreground a shaven-headed man in saffron robes with a gold ceremonial necklace and rudraksha-style beads holds a framed old painting of a robed, seated saint. A woman in orange draped clothing with gold jewellery and a flower-decorated hair braid sits in a wheelchair and reaches toward the frame. Behind them a man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala stands watching, and several people in white, orange and dark clothing move through the background.

Photograph of a procession at an evening event with a stage backdrop. In the foreground, a grey-haired man in white shirt and white dhoti carries a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure seated on a cushion. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and shirt with rudraksha mala balances a white cloth bundle with flowers on his head. Two younger men in white shirts and dhotis wear rudraksha malas and walk alongside, and one holds a red-orange flag on a pole. A printed portrait is shown, not the physical subject.

A photograph inside a bright, pale pink hall during a ritual procession. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears a white dhoti and white shawl with a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead; he walks forward and looks to the side. To his left, a shaved-headed attendant in an orange dhoti with a gold border and a gold-beaded necklace carries a white tray. On the right, another attendant in orange holds a silver tray. Behind them, two women in white and a woman in a teal outfit watch. A colourful hanging banner with orange tassels hangs from the ceiling.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a canopy and a garland of yellow, red and white flowers at the back, in front of a large backdrop printed with a faded portrait. The seated person wears orange robes and a rudraksha mala, with long swept-back dark hair, and holds a hand out toward a man in white dhoti and shirt who is holding up a printed glossy magazine-style booklet showing a photo of an orange-clad figure. A microphone stands in front, and a black curtain, a white pedestal fan and tinsel decorations are visible at the sides.

A photograph of a corridor inside an ashram building with white walls and a marble floor. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe with an orange turban and a rudraksha mala walks forward smiling, followed by several men in white dhoti and shirt clothing and a few in saffron, one with an orange shawl. On the left, a man in a striped shirt and trousers stands at a display table with a red handbag, and a framed poster on the wall shows a seated figure with a haloed crown. The walking figure in orange fits the Swamiji (probable) cues of saffron clothing, turban and rudraksha mala, so he is described as a probable Swamiji in person. Around eight to ten people are visible.

A photograph inside a bright hall with pale pink walls and a tall painted pillar. A central man with long dark swept-back hair wears a white draped garment, a red-cord necklace, a rudraksha mala with gold ornaments, a red tilak and gold armbands, walking forward. Beside him a shaved-headed attendant in an orange robe and gold-beaded necklace carries a white tray, and on the right an orange-clad person holds a silver plate of offerings. Behind them a man in yellow and white stands near others in white and yellow clothing, and a woman in white and a woman in teal clothing are visible in the background. The scene looks like a temple ritual procession with offerings being carried.

A framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure is held up by a standing man in white clothes with a yellow shawl. Seated on a gold-trimmed throne, a person in orange robes and a white flower garland writes or signs on the framed picture with a pen, while a second orange-robed person stands at right with long dark hair. Two men kneel in the foreground: one in a red checked shirt with a rudraksha mala and a ring, the other in white with glasses and a mala, gesturing with a hand. A brown box holds red fruit and offerings on a white-draped table, and yellow-gold curtains hang behind.
