A photograph of a devotee in a white embroidered kurta and grey trousers leaning forward to touch the head of a seated figure on a gold ornate throne decorated with garlands of red, yellow and pink flowers. The seated person wears an orange-saffron shawl over a red sleeveless top and sits on a red and black striped cushion. A young attendant in an orange robe stands at left with hands raised, and a person in a white garment appears at right. A patterned floral cloth appears in the lower foreground, with a bowed head beside it. A pink and orange backdrop completes the setting.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions. His right palm is raised near a devotee who bends forward in a white shirt and dark trousers and reaches toward his head, appearing to receive a blessing. Several saffron-robed and white-clad attendants stand behind. A gilded footstool and a floral arrangement of yellow and pink flowers sit in front of the throne, and a navy curtain forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a gold-framed throne.

A seated figure in a flowing orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold throne draped with red cloth and a garland of purple, white and red flowers, placing a hand on the head of a shaved-headed young boy in a gold-patterned orange kurta and a yellow-beaded neck cord. Two men in saffron-orange robes sit on the floor at the lower left, one with his head lowered, and a woman in a white sari bows near a brass vessel on the right. A white backdrop painted with a mountain sits behind the throne, with a fan at the left edge. The seated figure has long dark hair and no crown or turban is visible; the presentation cues are not distinctive enough to name a person, so the seated figure is described by role only.

A photograph of a darshan blessing. A young man in a grey-and-white striped polo shirt bends forward and holds a small white card while a robed figure seated on a gold-carved throne presses a hand to his forehead. The seated figure wears an orange-and-red silk shawl, a long green leaf garland with red and yellow flowers, and has a white tilak on the forehead; the appearance is consistent with a person candidate, with long swept-back dark hair, orange clothing and floral garland, though the face is partly turned and not clearly distinguishable. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a yellow border and a bald man in white robes stand near a tray of apples and a gold-trimmed side table. A blonde woman in a white embellished gown stands at the left edge.

A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with white and pink flowers. He rests one hand on the head of a man in a dark grey shirt and grey trousers who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside the throne stands a golden deity murti of Ganesha, and a table with flower offerings is at lower left. Another person in orange clothing sits behind the throne, and a woman in an orange-bordered sari with gold bangles is at right, against red drapes. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the saffron robes, long swept-back hair and garlanded throne seat.

Photograph inside a gold-decorated shrine room with marble-patterned walls and fluorescent lights. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and a tall red-beaded headband with a white forehead mark sits on a red-cushioned seat beside a gilded throne backdrop. He smiles broadly while placing his right hand on the head of a seated devotee in a striped shirt and orange shawl, who bows forward. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, wears a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and appears to be Swamiji (probable), shown giving blessing to a devotee. Another saffron-clad priest sits in the background beside a brass dish, and a steel railing separates the seats. A partial head is visible at the left edge.

The seated figure wears flowing saffron-orange robes with a long sweep of dark hair, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden backrest. Floral garlands of orange, red and white flowers decorate the throne and draping behind. A small table with items sits at left edge.
