Floral arrangements in red and yellow flowers sit on a red-draped table, and a golden deity murti stands at the left edge. The setting is a hall with pale walls and a dark ceiling.2010-08-15A photograph of a devotee in white kurta with a pearl and bead necklace and rudraksha mala receiving a blessing.

The wrap-clad figure has long dark hair swept back and smiles; the rudraksha beads hang down the chest. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a sacred thread stand near a colourful garlanded backdrop with red curtains, and an older man in a white shirt watches at the right edge. The setting resembles an indoor ritual or satsang, with the blessing gesture as the main action.2013-07-07A photograph of a young man in a white kurta standing with bowed head while a bearded figure with long dreadlocked hair, a bare upper torso and a pink-and-white flower garland over an orange-brown shawl places a hand on his forehead.

The standing man has long dreadlocked hair, a dark beard, a red thread on his wrist and a pink-and-white floral garland around his neck. The young man holds a blue cup in his other hand. Behind them are a red draped backdrop, a gold pole and several people in white clothes, plus a girl in orange at the left edge. The scene looks like a blessing or initiation moment at an ashram event.2017-04-02A photograph in a large open hall with a woven thatched ceiling and fluorescent lights. A man with long, swept-back dark hair wearing an orange sleeveless top and a white jasmine garland places both hands on the face of a young man in a grey t-shirt, who leans in toward him.
