A seated man with long dark wavy hair wears an orange sleeveless robe and rudraksha mala, and reaches out to touch the forehead of a seated devotee in a darshan line. Beside him, a monk in orange robes with shaved head and red sash stands behind a table holding a tray of papers and books. Other devotees in white kurtas, orange shawls and saris, including a woman in pink with a flower garland, sit or kneel around them in a hall with red curtains, a fan and a trident symbol on the wall. a person appearance is probable for the long-haired seated figure in orange with rudraksha mala, given long swept hair and saffron robes, but identity is uncertain.

A long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe places a hand on the forehead of a young boy in a red-and-white striped shirt, while another hand touches the boy's cheek. Several devotees in white and orange shawls crowd close, one man in white holding up a small card, and a young woman in a yellow shawl stands behind. Ritual offerings, a rudraksha mala and fruit sit on a tray at lower right. The figure in orange has long, swept-back hair consistent with the a person candidate, though the presentation is not unmistakable, so the identity is left unsure.

A long-haired man in an ornate gold-and-cream brocade kurta and white shawl bends toward a young boy in a navy blue long-sleeved top, placing his hands on the boy's head and forehead in a blessing. Behind them stands a woman in a white outfit with orange shawl, another woman in white, and a person in dark clothing near a potted green plant and a pink-draped wall. The man appears to be a person by his long swept hair and ornate gold clothing, giving a blessing to a child at a Shiva Sutra event.

A person in a rust-red garment with a large pink rose garland sits at left, extending a hand to touch the forehead of a young boy in a yellow t-shirt, glasses and beaded mala necklaces. The boy has a name badge on his shirt. The figure holds a tall silver staff and sits beside a golden vessel. Behind them, several young people in white kurtas and orange-red stoles stand watching, and a woman with a vibhuti mark sits nearby. The scene suggests a satsang blessing; the presenter's identity is not established by appearance alone.
