A seated man in a white shirt holds a small item in the foreground. The room has a red draped backdrop, a blue floor and a green mat, with a pair of sandals on the floor. The seated man's distinctive long hair, orange robes and rudraksha-adorned attendants suggest a person receiving offering in a ritual setting.

A photograph of an indoor ritual on a bare white-walled floor. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and seated on a white-draped cushioned seat, extends his hands to receive a mala. In front of him a kneeling devotee in white kurta and an orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, bows his head with cupped hands. A red and white patterned rug and woven mat lie on the floor. Behind them, a standing man in a white kurta and yellow shawl stands with folded arms, and another man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a mala aloft. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, which fits the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, so this is an appearance-based label only.

A photograph of an indoor satsang setting. A long-haired man in saffron-orange clothing, hair tied in a bun, sits on the right and places his hand on the head of a devotee who kneels in front of him wearing white. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes sits cross-legged holding a mala. Two standing attendants in white shirts with orange shawls and a bald attendant in white stand behind, one holding a book. Offerings of fruit and flowers lie on a white-draped table, and a red curtain and a patterned banner hang behind. Several people sit to the left, including a woman in a pink sari. The page identifies the event as a person satsang, but the seated saffron-clad man's appearance shows long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so he is a person giving blessing.
