Indoor photo of an ashram office room with orange tiled floor, red office chairs, a white wall air conditioner and whiteboards. Several saffron-robed monks and swamis sit in conversation. A man in a rust-brown and gold-bordered dhoti with long hair and a gold-bordered cloth sits centrally, smiling. On the right, a swami in orange with a rudraksha mala and orange turban sits with a walking staff, and an older bearded swami in orange sits on a gold-framed orange sofa. A framed portrait of a long-haired figure in orange stands on an easel at the right; it is a depiction, not a physical person. Several participants wear name badges.

A photograph of seated figures in orange and saffron robes in a bright hall with a maroon curtain and a wall-mounted air conditioner. In the centre, a bare-chested man with long dark hair wears a brown and gold dhoti, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, his hands folded in his lap with a red cushion beside him. To the left, an older man with a white tilak and orange robe sits in a plush armchair. To the right, several saffron-clad men sit in armchairs with their feet resting on cushioned footstools, one wearing an orange turban and rudraksha beads, and a man in a light-coloured cloth stands behind them in a maroon shawl with a lanyard. Around six to twenty people are visible.

A seated meeting in a bright room with white tiled floor, a wall air conditioner, and red curtains behind a white-covered sofa. A man with long swept-back hair, bare-chested except for a bead necklace and an orange-and-maroon cloth, sits on the sofa gesturing with an open hand while speaking. Around him, several men in orange and saffron robes sit on red-cushioned chairs, one standing at left in orange cloth, one in white clothing seated at left, and an elderly man with white hair and a long white beard at right. A patterned rust-and-gold rug lies on the floor, with a small table holding a book or tray. Swamiji (probable): the seated man with long hair, rudraksha-style bead necklace and orange-and-maroon clothing is the appearance-based candidate, shown in person.

Indoor meeting in a plain room with a long beige-covered table set with steel plates, steel tumblers, folded napkins and a brass-rimmed tray. Seated at the table in saffron and orange robes are several sannyasis: a bearded elder with long grey hair and a large rudraksha mala, a man in orange with a red tilak and beads, a man in orange with a shaved head, and a turbaned figure on the right in orange with gold ornaments. A younger boy in pale orange stands behind the table beside a standing monk in orange. A banyan tree backdrop hangs on the wall and a red curtain is at left. The seated monk in orange on the left gestures while talking; no identification is made from appearance.

Indoor photo of a seated group on a patterned floor mat against pink walls with barred windows. Several saffron-robed sadhus sit in a row. In the centre, a man wearing an orange-brown turban, a long gold-beaded necklace and bangles and a brown robe with gold border is speaking and gesturing, which marks him as a person candidate, though the page does not place him at this event. A white-bearded man in orange raises a hand at right, and a bald man in a maroon robe with gold border sits with his back to the camera. Pink cushions and a wall switch are visible.
