A photograph of a healing session where a young man in orange robes places both hands on the head of a seated man with short dark hair and a red mark on his forehead. The seated man smiles and looks upward. Beside him, an older woman with white hair and glasses has her hand resting on his shoulder. A white cloth backdrop is behind them, and a partially visible person in orange clothing sits in the background.

Indoor photograph of women seated on a tiled floor in a pink-walled room with a metal grille window and a shelf of colourful cloth bags. In the foreground a young woman in white garments with dark beaded necklaces and gold bangles leans forward, reaching toward the head of a woman in a teal saree with gold border who sits with her hand resting on a small brass vessel. Other women in orange, pink and purple head coverings watch nearby, and an elderly woman in green stands at the window. A steel vessel of grain sits in the lower foreground. No visible a person candidate is present.

Photograph of a bare-chested man in an orange-saffron cloth wrapped as a turban and a thick garland of yellow, red and pink flowers with green leaves, touching his palm to the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt and spectacles. Behind them stand a row of women in white and cream saris, one in a red-bordered sari with a bindi, watching the blessing in a plain light-blue room. The bare-chested figure has distinctive saffron and garland cues, so the appearance-based candidate is a person, shown performing a blessing on a devotee.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a red bindi, placing both palms on the head and forehead of a kneeling woman in a mustard-yellow sari with a long side braid and gold bangles. She holds a small white card or paper. Behind them, other saffron-clad attendees and a man in a white shirt watch; a tray with rudraksha beads and offering leaves sits at lower right, and a yellow garment appears at the top right. The page describes a Bengaluru Adheenam darshan and blessing session; the seated robed man giving the blessing is a person by his long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and bindi, though this is an appearance-based label only.

A photograph of a darshan moment at a large crowded hall. A figure in a pale blue turban and white robe, with long dark hair and a red and orange garland, stands from behind and places a hand on the forehead of a young woman in a white and light blue salwar with a gold necklace, who has her eyes closed. Beside her, a woman in a red and orange sari raises one hand in blessing. Behind them a dense crowd of people in white and pastel clothing fills the room, with a ceiling fan at the left edge.
