Night outdoor event under a red-and-white striped canopy with bright floodlights. A man with long dark hair and a white flower garland wears an orange sannyasi-style wrap and gold bangles and presses his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. Behind them a shaved-headed attendant in orange holds a white cloth. Seated spectators are visible at the right edge. Several people are present; the orange-robed figure with long hair and gold jewellery fits the a person cues but the appearance is not conclusive, so the role is recorded as a sannyasi giving blessing.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron sleeveless garment and a matching orange turban, with long dark hair and a dark beaded mala around the neck, extending one hand to rest on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. Around them, a crowd of devotees in white and cream clothing and a woman in a green sari with gold bangles press their palms together in prayer or watch closely. Behind the crowd, white draped cloth and a red-trimmed stage area are visible. The gesture suggests a blessing or darshan, and the setting appears to be an evening gathering. a person candidate: orange turban, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala are visible, but the face and identity cannot be confirmed, so this is marked unsure.

A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange garment with a red and green flower garland and gold-toned bangles stands at a white-draped table, placing a hand on the head of a young man in a white shirt who holds a small yellow card to his face. A crowd of devotees, many in white shirts and saris, stands behind. A priest in a red-and-yellow cloth with a tilak mark on his forehead stands nearby. Probable Swamiji is the central figure by his long swept-back hair, saffron garment and garland cues, but this is an appearance-based label only.
