A seated figure in a rust-red and gold-bordered robe, with a long swept-back hairstyle, a white forehead mark, a large yellow bead necklace over white flower garlands, and gold bangles, extends a hand toward a kneeling young man in a white shirt holding a peach. Beside them a woman in a cream sari leans forward. Behind them stands a golden deity murti of Ganesha on a golden mount draped in green and garlanded with orange and multicoloured flowers, with banana plants, brass plates of offerings, and a gold lion-headed armrest in the foreground. A woman in a rust sari with a red bindi stands at the right near a sound desk, and peaches sit on a tray at the lower left.

A seated man in a saffron-red robe with a white forehead mark and a white and orange flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and red patterned upholstery. He rests one palm forward in blessing toward a man in white shirt and trousers who kneels with hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, two women in saffron-red sarees with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand on red carpet scattered with petals, and a white pillar and air conditioner are visible. The seated man matches the a person appearance cues of a saffron robe, flower garland and gold-and-rudraksha ornaments, and receiving honour from kneeling devotees on a throne fits his role, so the seated figure is a probable candidate.

Indoor photo of a seated figure in saffron-red robes with a white forehead band, long white and red floral garland and a rudraksha mala, holding bananas and offering them. Opposite, a man in a white-and-blue striped shirt and wristwatch kneels with palms pressed together in respect. Behind them, women in brown and white saris, one holding a toddler, stand near a golden lion-shaped ornament. A woman in orange robes stands at the right by a red carpet, with a golden kalasha-like object and a flower arrangement in the background. The scene suggests a devotee receiving blessing, with fruit offering and a gold-trimmed red carpet.

Photo of a ceremonial scene in an ornate golden hall. A seated man on a gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion wears saffron-orange clothing, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and holds a tray of offerings. A shaved-headed attendant in orange robes with white markings on his forehead and arms kneels and extends his hands toward the tray. A woman in a white salwar kameez with an orange shawl stands with her palms joined to the right. Behind the throne are golden lions and painted deity statues with raised arms, gold lamp stands on the floor, and red carpet. Seated figure appearance matches the page's claim and cues include saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, so he is labelled as a probable Swamiji.

A photograph of a puja scene in a hall with a dark blue curtain and a tree backdrop. A man with long dark hair, orange robe, rudraksha mala and a white flower garland sits with hands folded in a gold and red throne, with eyes closed; a probable Swamiji by appearance and seated as the focus. A woman in a white sari with a maroon border and a bindi kneels at left holding a small offering, next to a bald man in white with a yellow shawl and folded hands. A woman in a teal blue sari sits at right holding a small object. Several women with hair buns sit in the foreground beside brass trays of apples, red flowers, and pink blossoms in clear containers. A small gold-colored bowl and fruit sit on a gold side table.

A photograph in an ornate hall with red and gold decor. A bald man with a red-orange shawl, a flower garland and a tilak sits on a large gilded throne with lion-head armrests and red tiger-striped cushions. He smiles and gestures with one hand. In front of the throne, a man in white kneels with palms pressed together. To the right, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands with her arms outstretched. A silver tray of bananas sits in the foreground.

A seated figure in a maroon-and-gold dhoti-style robe with a white and orange garland and a white tilak on the forehead receives a bowed devotee in a grey striped shirt and white trousers, who presses palms together and lowers his head toward the figure's hands. Behind them stands a golden deity murti draped with a multicoloured flower garland, with banana leaves, marigold garlands and golden peetha-style seats framing the scene. Several women in white and maroon saris and saffron-trimmed robes with rudraksha or orange garlands stand nearby, with brass trays of offerings on the floor. The figure seated on the throne has long hair and ornate gold jewellery, which may be a qualifying appearance cue; the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
