A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe seated on an ornate gold throne with red tiger-striped cushions, decorated with yellow and red flower garlands and a red kalasha-like arrangement of fruit at his side. His feet rest on a red cushion atop a gold footstool edged with flowers. A man in a maroon shirt and grey trousers leans in and presses his palm to the seated man's forehead, while a bearded man in white and orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Red carpet and gold drapery form the backdrop. Appearance-based cues on the seated man (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, gold throne) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), and the page indicates he is present at this event, so this is an in_person candidate with a fairly strong match.

A seated figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with red striped cushions, a red cushion under his feet. Behind him a floral backdrop of yellow marigolds and red flowers forms the number 20 in petals. An elderly man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala, leans in and receives a touch on the forehead from a wooden stick or rod held by the seated figure. A teal-clad person stands at the left edge, and offerings of fruit and sweets rest on a table at right. Marigold garlands decorate the throne base.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair, perched on an ornate gold throne with carved details and a red cushioned back. A man in a red shirt and beige trousers kneels before him, holding out an orange fruit or offering in cupped hands, which the seated figure receives. Behind them a man in a white shirt and cream trousers stands barefoot holding an orange object, and another person in orange robes stands near a draped red and pink backdrop. Red and gold cushioned chairs and a small wooden side table with offerings sit in the room, with a patterned rug on the floor.

A man in a white shirt and white trousers bows forward and touches the seated figure's hand, with a gold bracelet visible on his wrist. To the left stands a man in an orange robe. Behind them are yellow and red marigold garlands on the throne, green bamboo leaves, and a vase of white lilies and red roses.

A photograph of a stage event in front of a navy blue draped backdrop. A woman in an orange sari with a red sleeveless blouse stands on a gold footstool before an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a lion-head finial, garlanded with flowers. A man in a light grey shirt and grey trousers bows and hands her a small wrapped package. Two men in orange robes stand to the right, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Floral arrangements sit at the left edge.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a red undergarment, seated on a red and black tiger-striped cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold-embossed backdrop with a deity relief and a garland of yellow and red flowers. A man in a white checked shirt bends forward and holds out his hands toward the seated figure, while two saffron-robed attendants stand at left and a woman in the right foreground is partly visible. A green leafy plant and a blue wall are behind them.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red zebra-patterned cushions, decorated with yellow, red and white flower garlands and a gold-curtained backdrop. The seated person wears a flowing saffron-orange robe over red, with long dark hair, bare feet resting on a gold footstool draped in red cloth and flowers. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands bowing forward, extending his hands to the seated person's hand in a gesture of reverence, while another person in orange robes is partially visible at the right edge. The floor is covered with red carpet.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.

A photograph of a stage ceremony. A long-haired man in orange robes and a gold necklace sits on a decorated throne with garlands, touching the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt and white trousers who bows his head. Around them, shaved-headed sannyasis in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit on the floor, some holding wooden staffs with orange flags. Orange banners hang above, and the floor holds small oil lamps. The seated man in orange is a probable Swamiji by appearance, long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace, placed on the throne; the man in white is a devotee receiving blessing.

Indoor ceremony on a stage before a large painted backdrop of a face. A long-haired figure in orange robes sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, beneath a gold canopy with hanging tassels. A shaved-headed man in white kneels before the throne holding a tall staff with orange tassels. Another kneeling man in white and an orange shawl sits at the right foreground. Several people in white sit on the floor at the left beside brass lamps and small woven baskets holding green fruit. Colourful flower garlands hang on the pillars at the sides and a fan stands near the throne.

A man in a white kurta holds a woven basket, and a woman in a green blouse and pale green sari stands at right beside a bystander in white with a camera. Red flowers lie on the gold dais in front, and a brass oil lamp stands at left. Behind them a painted backdrop shows red autumn trees and a yellow sky.
