Outdoor temple shrine scene with a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala seated on an orange throne-like chair with orange cushion and footstool, hands joined in greeting. Behind him is a deity murti adorned with garlands, with orange curtains and ornate stone pillars. Around him, devotees stand and kneel: a man in glasses and pale shirt at left, a man in orange robes with orange shawl, a man in white dhoti with orange shawl, a man in orange robe seen from behind, a man in white with yellow shawl standing at right, and a woman in purple sari kneeling with hands joined, plus a woman in white bending forward. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-clad figure with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold-toned adornments on the throne is the appearance-based candidate.

A man with long dark dreadlocked hair and a rudraksha mala with a gold-toned bead necklace, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne and reaches forward to touch the head of a kneeling woman in a white sari with a red border. She bows with hands folded and holds a folded white paper. Behind them stand a group of women in orange and red saris, several wearing lanyards, and a brass oil lamp stands beside the throne. A white fan or cooler sits in the background on a red wall. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing and mala beads matches the page's claim, so the label is probable: Swamiji (probable), giving blessing to a devotee.

A photograph of a stage event with a large gold throne at left, draped in white and pink-and-white garland strands, with a floral backdrop of orange, red and yellow flowers. A devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti bows deeply and touches his forehead to a folded cloth or bundle held by a person in saffron-orange robes with a white garland. Behind them stand a man in an orange robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a younger man in a dark green shirt. At right, a woman in a green sari with gold border and gold jewellery holds a small bag. The dark blue curtain forms the background. The throne appears empty, so no clearly identifiable a person is confirmed in the scene.

A man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair swept back and a red bindi on his forehead places his right palm on the head of a short-haired man in a navy and orange striped polo shirt. A gold beaded necklace hangs on the robed man's chest. Behind them a red curtain and a partly visible seated figure in white and orange suggest a satsang or blessing setting. The robed man's cues (long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace) are consistent with Swamiji, so this is a probable in-person appearance giving a blessing; the recipient is a devotee receiving the blessing. Two people are visible in the foreground, with others partly seen behind.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a dark turban-style headwrap, wearing a thick rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, sits on an ornate golden-brown throne-like chair. Before him a woman in a white top bends forward, offering something from her hands, and a man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala holds a small vessel above a large gold-rimmed bowl on a gold stand. To the left a person in orange holds a ceremonial staff. Other devotees and attendees in white shirts and orange garments stand behind, and a large screen shows a crowd in the background.

A photograph of a ritual darshan inside a red-draped hall with gold ceremonial lamps. A seated figure in orange-red robes and a red turban, wearing a yellow flower garland, extends a fruit toward a kneeling man in a white kurta and dark-rimmed glasses who is cutting a fruit on a tray of offerings. Behind them a line of devotees stands, including a woman in a white sari with a red shawl and rudraksha-style beads, a woman in a yellow patterned sari, and a man in a light blue shirt. A shaved-headed priest in saffron and gold-bordered cloth with tripundra marks stands at left, and another in red robes with vibhuti marks stands at right. Gold staffs and a tall gold lamp stand in the background. The seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.

A seated figure in a red-orange robe and rudraksha malas sits on a gold-trimmed brown throne, a black cylindrical headpiece on his head, smiling as he holds hands with a man in a white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl kneeling before him. A golden bowl of water or milk sits on a brass tray in front, and devotees in orange and white kneel and fold their hands nearby. Behind them a crowd in orange lanyards and casual clothes watches, including a boy in green. The scene looks like a ritual ablution or padapuja at an event. a person: the seated figure wears long rudraksha malas, a ceremonial black headpiece and orange-red robes on a throne.
