A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange-red shawl draped over a bare shoulder, wearing a long garland of white flowers, green leaves and pink blooms, and a gold ornamental necklace. The figure has long dark hair and smiles with eyes lowered, reaching forward to accept a small packet of offerings from an older man in a white shirt with grey hair, who bends toward them. The background shows a white floral-draped backdrop and a golden hanging. Two people are visible.

A photograph of a stage event with a man in orange robes and a white flower garland receiving offerings from several devotees in white clothing with folded hands. The seated man in orange, with long wavy hair and a smile, is holding out a fruit; a microphone and a flower-decorated table sit in front of him. Behind, men in white dhotis and shirts and a few others in orange stand near red curtains and a painted tree backdrop.

A seated figure in a bright orange-red turban and matching orange-red shawl sits on a white peetha throne decorated with white and pink flower garlands, against a warm orange backdrop. He has long dark hair, a red-and-white garland and a heavy gold necklace. A man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala stands beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder. A younger man in white with an orange shawl stands at right, and another person's head is visible in the lower left foreground. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with long hair, orange turban and shawl, gold necklace and garland, with the devotee in white attending him.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange clothing and a matching orange turban with a gold band and a red jewelled ornament at its front. He wears a gold-edged orange shawl, multiple rudraksha malas and red-beaded bracelets, and has a red tilak on his forehead. He extends his hand to offer a small white cloth packet, held by a man in glasses and a checked shirt at left. Behind them, devotees in white and pink shirts stand with palms pressed together, and a man in glasses and an orange garment appears at right. The setting is an indoor hall with a ceiling light and colourful background. Appearance cues match a person, shown here as a presiding figure receiving devotion; the man is in the centre of the scene.

A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange shawl wrapped over the shoulders and multiple gold-beaded rudraksha-style necklaces stands at the centre, extending a folded white paper or prasadam to a row of men in white shirts and white dhotis with hands folded in greeting. Behind him a shaved-headed attendant in a saffron cloth and beaded necklace stands by a tray of fruit, and an older man in white with an orange shawl is visible at right. The setting is an indoor hall with a projection screen and blue drapery. The central figure matches the probable Swamiji appearance cues of swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial beads, and is presented as the one giving prasadam to devotees.

Photograph of an indoor tent event with pink and white draped fabric and a white canopy above. A man with long dark hair, an orange turban, an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala stands at the centre, leaning forward to take an item from a tray held by a man in orange robes at the right edge. Beside him, an older man with short grey hair in an orange shawl with gold trim smiles toward him. On the left, a bearded man stands behind a gold and red ornate seat, and a seated monk in orange with a white forehead tilak is partly visible. A table with flowers, bottled water and small items sits in the foreground. The central figure with turban and mala is an appearance-based a person candidate in an in-person setting.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and red top, with a red bindi, a white pearl necklace, gold pendant and rudraksha malas, smiling as he receives a folded white paper from an older man in a white shirt who holds his palms cupped together. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white and an orange-robed monk stand near a silver tray at the bottom edge. The man in red has long swept-back hair and a crown-free but ornate, distinctive presentation with multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role of receiving a petition. Background includes yellow and orange drapes.

The man in red has a red tilak on his forehead, a white pearl necklace with a gold pendant, and rudraksha bead armbands. Swamiji (probable), appearing as the man in red with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, is receiving the paper. Behind him a bald man in orange robes stands at right beside a silver tray, and other people in white clothes stand in the background.

A photograph of a devotional exchange at a ceremony. A man in a white shirt bows forward while a long-haired figure in a red shawl and rudraksha malas touches his head and hands him an item. The red-clad figure wears a pearl necklace and a gold pendant, with a red tilak on the forehead and red-beaded armbands. To the right, a shaved-headed attendant in an orange robe and beaded necklace holds a silver tray. Behind them, a white-robed man with gold chains and red and gold draped pillars and a blue canopy suggest a tent setting.
