A seated long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-white forehead mark sits on a velvet throne-like chair before a deep red curtain and an ornate gold panel. He smiles while a white-haired elderly man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-green striped waist cloth raises both palms and presses his hands to the seated man's head in an act of blessing. Behind them a man in orange and yellow dhoti stands near a white fan, and another man with a rudraksha mala sits at the lower right edge. A small tray with offerings is visible at the lower left.

A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a red throne with a tiger-striped cushion, wearing an orange saffron shawl and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and upper arm, smiling as he looks toward a man in a white kurta standing before him with both arms raised in a gesture of greeting or blessing. Behind them, a saffron-robed attendant stands near an ornate backdrop of colourful garlands in green, yellow, blue and orange, with gold-decorated elements and a shaved-headed devotee visible at the right edge.

A seated figure on a red-and-gold throne with a golden carved backdrop receives a blessing from a standing man in a white shirt and white trousers, whose raised hands are placed on the seated person's head. The seated figure wears a maroon garment with gold border, a long beaded necklace and a white vertical tilak on the forehead, with a red-and-blue wristband on the arm. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala kneels nearby, and a silver pole stands at right beside a gold-lattice panel. The seated figure wears distinctive long beaded gold necklaces and ceremonial red-and-gold attire consistent with the page's claim, so this is a person in person, while the photo shows a blessing ritual.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala and a multi-coloured flower garland, places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt, a red-and-black beaded mala, and holds his palms together in anjali. The seated man has a red bindi and white tilak markings and long swept-back hair; he holds a small folded paper or cloth in his left hand. Behind them are orange and blue drapes, a gold-painted pillar, red velvet cushions, a flower-decorated backdrop and a small red box.

A photograph of a seated man in a white dhoti-style wrap with a red-and-gold border, wearing multiple rudraksha mala necklaces and beaded bracelets, with hair tied in a bun and a white forehead mark. He smiles as his arms are raised toward a devotee in a green-and-white striped polo shirt with a purple cord, who holds both palms toward the seated man's forehead in a blessing gesture. Both sit before an ornate gold-framed throne with red and maroon cushions and draped dark red fabric in the background. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person, given the rudraksha malas, bun, and white wrap, seated on a throne in a blessing exchange. The devotee in green and white stands in front, receiving the blessing.

A seated guru on a red velvet throne in front of a gold-carved backrest and deep red curtains speaks with a younger man in a white shirt with an orange cord. The seated figure wears saffron-orange robes with a yellow waistband and a long orange-red rudraksha mala; his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. The younger man raises his palm toward him in a gesture of question or address. Two seated listeners are visible in the foreground, one with a shaved head and another in white with a tilak and orange-bordered cloth. Swamiji (probable): the seated guru matches the page's Swamiji reference through his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala.

A photograph of a man in an orange saffron robe seated before an ornate gold throne-like backdrop with carved floral and scrollwork designs. He has a red bindi and short dark hair, and his hands are raised toward a man in a light grey t-shirt standing with his back to the camera, whose arms are outstretched toward the throne. A green tree with dense foliage fills the right side of the frame. The seated man has no clearly visible long hair, crown, malas or ceremonial gold necklace, so identity is uncertain; roles are the seated man and the standing man in a grey t-shirt.

A man in white ceremonial dress with a white-and-red bordered cloth draped over one shoulder and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and arms stands beside a seated elderly man in white, placing his right hand on the older man's forehead in a blessing gesture. The standing man has a bun of hair and a white tilak on his forehead. Behind them are a large golden ornate throne with a red tiger-striped cushion, a purple cloth, and a water bottle at the lower right. Another bald person's head is visible at the bottom edge.

A seated figure in saffron and gold-bordered orange robes, with long hair tied back and a beaded necklace, extends both hands to touch the forehead of a standing young man in a white kurta with a red shawl over his shoulders. A gold-patterned red drape hangs behind them. Behind, a woman in a white sari and a seated woman in white watch, with more people in red and white clothing and brass lamps in the background. a person: the seated figure wears saffron and gold ceremonial clothing with a long hairstyle and a beaded neck ornament, and the page names a person for this event.
