A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe on an ornate gold throne with floral garlands of red and yellow flowers behind it. He is barefoot on a red cushion and rests a hand on the throne as a small child in white leans in to receive a blessing. A woman in a white sari with purple-and-gold border stands at right, and a young man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at left, hands together. The seated figure wears saffron robes and appears to be a person on a throne receiving devotees, consistent with a darshan setting.

A seated man in long swept-back hair and an orange saffron robe, wearing a pink and white floral garland and gold ornaments, sits on a gold throne-like seat while holding a small flower or ritual item toward a boy in white kurta with a rudraksha mala. A man in a white shirt leans forward with his hands on the boy's head in blessing. Behind them, a priest in orange robe and gold necklaces and a woman in white stand near a decorated arch of green garland and flowers, with a red-and-white flower decoration on the throne. Probable Swamiji cues: swept-back long hair, saffron robe, ceremonial gold necklace and garland, seated on an ornate throne.

A photograph of a Guru Poornima padapuja-style gathering in a decorated hall. A long-haired man in saffron robes and a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold lion-figure at its base, smiling, his feet being attended. Before him a woman in a grey-haired bun and white sari with gold border kneels and bends forward, hands near his feet. Standing behind are devotees: a woman in white with a blue-patterned shawl and folded hands, an older man in white with a grey beard and rudraksha-style pendant, a young boy in beige kurta with folded hands, and a woman in a red shawl. A man in orange shawl and white kurta holds a silver vessel at right. Marigold and white jasmine garlands drape the throne and the decorated backdrop.

A photograph of a devotional darshan scene in an ornate golden hall. A long-haired figure seated on a gold-and-cream throne wears a saffron-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland and a gold chain; the appearance cues are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklace), so this is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person. He leans forward to touch the hand of a young boy in a white shirt and grey trousers, who stands before the throne. Around them women in white saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas, a woman with a hair braid, and people in yellow and orange garments wait or assist. Green foliage, orange and pink flowers, and a red floral bunch decorate the golden backdrop and throne.

A figure with long dark hair wearing an orange saffron dhoti and a long beaded rudraksha-style garland of green and orange beads, with gold bangles, sits on a gilded throne draped in colourful marigold and rose garlands. Devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and orange-clad attendants surround the throne, one white-clad man bowing with a red shawl and offering a bouquet while another devotee holds a small bird-shaped gift. A woman in a blue sari holds a child on the right, and marigold petals cover the floor at the base of the throne. Cues for the throne figure are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate beads, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.
