Photograph of a ceremonial padapuja scene on a stage with pink, gold and silver draped curtains. An elderly man in white shirt and white dhoti, wearing a rudraksha mala and gold bracelet, bends forward and touches the hands of a long-haired man in orange robes seated on a golden throne with a red cushion and a gold footstool. A younger man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at the right, watching. A white-clad attendant is partly visible at the left edge. Green carpet covers the floor, and a red-and-gold throne is behind the seated figure. The seated man has long dark hair and a saffron robe with a crown-like gold backdrop; no clear a person cue beyond the honoured seating is established, so identity is unsure.

A photograph of a satsang-style ceremony before a dark red velvet curtain. A long-haired man in an orange-red shawl and a rudraksha mala draped over a brown top sits on the left, reaching to adjust an orange-red cloth held over the shoulders of a shaved-headed man in a plain white t-shirt, whose palms are pressed together in namaste. Behind them a man in white with a yellow border and a dark rudraksha mala stands with hands folded at chest level, and a gold ceremonial item is partly visible. The orange-red cloth and the mala are the key visual markers of the ritual. The long-haired seated man, with his swept-back hair, orange-red shawl and mala, shows appearance cues consistent with the page's a person reference, so this is a person candidate.

Photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair, on an orange upholstered seat with a maroon backrest and orange bolster, smiling as an older man in white kurta-style clothing bows forward and touches his forehead. A younger man with a shaved head and red sindoor dot, wearing white with an orange shawl, stands behind them. Red velvet drapes and a tray of items sit in the background. Appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) with rudraksha mala, saffron clothing and long hair; the bowing man is a devotee. Photo of an ashram darshan moment.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala seated on an ornate gilded throne with peacock-carved armrests before deep red velvet drapery. He smiles broadly while clasping the hands of an older man with short white hair, white kurta and a rudraksha mala, who bows forward and receives him. In the background a younger man in white and saffron sits to the left, and a small tray with sweets rests near the bottom of the frame. The seated man's distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, mala and gold throne match the Swamiji cues, so he is presented as a probable Swamiji in an act of blessing.

A photograph of an indoor satsang-style setting with a dark red curtain behind. On the right, a smiling man with swept-back dark hair, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange robe and a long ceremonial gold bead necklace, sits on a white cushioned seat with red bolster pillows, reaching out to clasp the hands of a visitor. The visitor, centre, wears a white shirt and white dhoti, a white and red flower garland, and a tilak on his forehead, his hands pressed together in greeting while he smiles. A third man in orange robes stands behind him at left, smiling. A small table with fruit and offerings sits beside the seat.

A wooden box holding silver-toned ceremonial items sits at the lower left. To the right, a standing man in white ritual cloth with a gold border and rudraksha beads watches the exchange.

A standing man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a tilak on his forehead drapes a saffron and pink cloth over the shoulders of a seated elderly man in white dhoti and shirt with a gold-bordered shawl. The elder sits on a red-cushioned seat before a golden ornate throne with repoussé carvings, with a microphone on a stand in front of him and his hands pressed together in greeting. Behind them hang a pink and gold draped canopy, and a golden decorated chair stands to the left. The standing figure's cues (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, forehead marking) fit the a person candidate, so the presentation is appearance-based and uncertain.
