A photograph in a hall with dark maroon drapes. A long-haired man in rust-orange robes and a rudraksha-style golden bead necklace sits on an orange upholstered armchair, with white ash marks on his forehead, extending his right hand toward an older man in a white shirt and dark trousers who bows with palms pressed together. Beside the seated man, a shaved-headed man in orange cloth holds a red tray with a silver vessel. Behind them, two women in white saris, one with lavender borders, stand watching, one holding a red object. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, orange robes and a ceremonial gold-bead necklace. He is shown receiving an honouring bow in a satsang-style setting.

A photograph of an indoor satsang hall. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and gold chain sits on a deep red velvet chair, extending his right hand to touch the forehead of an older bald-headed man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard, who has his palms pressed together in a gesture of respect. Standing behind them, a man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard watches, and to the right another man in white joins his hands. Background includes a window, a wall-mounted air conditioner, and a maroon curtain. A tray of fruit and offerings sits in the lower left. Other people are partially visible at the bottom edge.

A seated figure in a rust-orange wrap with long dark hair in a low ponytail, wearing red flower garlands and a gold chain, places both hands on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt with an orange-and-white cord around his neck and a rust-coloured sash at his waist. The older man holds his palms up in a blessing gesture and smiles with eyes closed. Behind them, seated women in saffron and yellow saris and rudraksha malas watch, and a further person in orange sits at right. The setting is an indoor hall with a fan, a maroon curtain and a yellow cushion. Because the page names a person, the seated figure with long hair, red garlands and a gold chain may be a person, but the appearance is uncertain.

A photo of a devotional blessing scene. A woman with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red and gold-bordered sari, sits on the left and places her right hand on the forehead of an elderly man with grey hair. He wears a white kurta and an orange-brown beaded mala with a green lanyard. Behind them, other women in rust-red and gold saris are seated or bending, and a standing man in white kurta is partly visible at the top. At the lower right, a life-size cardboard or printed cutout shows a smiling figure in a red turban with a tilak, hands in anjali.

A seated man in an orange saffron wrap with long dark hair falling down his back and a red flower garland with a gold-tone ornament around his neck extends his right arm forward and up, bangle on wrist, touching the head of an older man in a cream kurta with an orange-and-blue lanyard and a saffron scarf, who bows with palms pressed together. Behind them a woman in a cream sari with gold border and a beaded necklace kneels with hands joined and smiles. A red velvet cushion, a orange cloth and fruit offerings sit in the foreground, with a few onlookers and a wall air conditioner in the background.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads, with a white vibhuti line on his forehead, rests his hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a pink-striped shirt with folded hands. A bunch of bananas lies in front, and a person in white in the lower left holds a banana. Behind, people in white clothes and rudraksha malas stand on a red carpet; a standing fan, an air conditioner and red-and-gold chairs are visible. The seated man is Swamiji (probable), with his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, giving blessing during a darshan or padapuja-style house visit.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe and a long saffron shawl, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace with a rudraksha-style mala, a small gold earring, and a red-and-white forehead mark. He rests one hand on the crown of an elderly woman with grey hair in a green sari and beaded necklace, who sits with palms pressed together in namaste. He holds a sheaf of white papers in his other hand. Behind him a bald man in an orange robe with white and red forehead markings holds a small brass plate. Several people stand in the background of a warm-lit hall with orange and white drapes.
