A bare-shouldered figure in saffron-orange cloth with long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold necklace, is blessing a man in white kurta with a red sash and red lanyard. The figure's right hand rests on the devotee's forehead while the devotee holds both palms raised. Behind them, people in white and red clothing stand and sit in a warm-lit hall with a dark drape and potted plants. This is a person figure giving a blessing to a devotee; the setting suggests satsang or darshan.

A photograph of a long-haired man with a dark beard wearing a rust-orange shawl and a white flower garland, placing his right hand on the bald head of a clean-shaven man in a white kurta who stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. The blessing takes place before a warm golden-lit backdrop with ornate carved elements. Behind them, a woman in a white sari and another in maroon stand watching in a bright hall. Looks like a blessing moment in an ashram satsang.

A night photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron shawl over a maroon garment, wearing a long ceremonial gold-beaded necklace and a vertical orange-yellow mark on his forehead, reaching out to press a finger to the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with a red-and-white beaded necklace and wrist beads. The young man holds his palms together in front of his face with a white mark on his brow. Behind them, a woman in a white sari with an orange-beaded necklace sits and watches, and other people in white and maroon stand in the dim background beside tall silver ceremonial staffs. The scene appears to be a blessing or touching of the forehead in an evening gathering. A photograph of a central figure in saffron with distinctive gold beaded adornment is present, so the a person candidate is in person with probable appearance cues.

The bald man's eyes are closed and his palms are pressed together. The blessing figure's other hand holds a pink card. Other people stand softly out of focus at the edges, including a woman in pink and an orange-clad person at right.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban with a white plume and a saffron-orange robe, wearing a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, sits in a brown leather chair and places his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white dhoti-style garment and red-orange shawl, who has his palms raised in reverence. The seated figure has long hair and a bare shoulder, with ornate gold necklaces. Behind them, other people in white and orange clothing and red shawls sit or stand in a hall, a woman in a red-bordered sari sits at right, and a garlanded deity murti and decorative gold-and-green backdrop are visible. Appearance-based label: a person seated in the chair giving darshan blessing.
