A photograph inside a hall with a tiled floor, red stage curtains and a deity murti shrine at the back. A man in a rust-red dhoti-style wrap with a long rudraksha mala and gold earrings, with long swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead, places his hand on the head of a young man in white.

A photograph in a large hall with red curtains and a white tiled floor. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, rudraksha beaded necklaces and a saffron-red shawl with gold border raises one hand in blessing and smiles broadly; Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. A devotee in a white shirt and rudraksha mala stands bowing with palms pressed together and receives the blessing, while another man in cream kurta has a hand on his shoulder. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts stand near a metal barrier, a deity photo appears on a stage backdrop, and a camera is on a tripod at right.

A photograph of a satsang hall where a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a rudraksha-style gold bead necklace, and an orange-red robe with a bare upper body is placing his palm on the bald head of an older man in a white shirt who bows with folded hands. The man in red smiles. Behind them stand several people in white and red-orange ritual clothes, a younger man in a blue shirt, and a small portrait of a figure on the left wall. A screen shows an image above the stage with red and blue ceremonial banners and tassels.

Indoor ceremony where a saffron-robed priest with a shaved head and sandalwood paste on his arm places his hand on the head of a man with grey hair, who bows with palms pressed together. The priest wears orange clothing, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, and an orange turban is visible on another figure. Around them stand other men in green, white and maroon, some with hands folded in prayer. Behind is a decorated altar with yellow-orange flower garlands and a deity murti. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment.

Photograph of a darshan line in an indoor hall with white ceiling fans and a stage backdrop showing a painted deity panel and a gold-framed throne. A man in a long-sleeved white shirt with a blue ID badge bows forward with palms joined while a figure in saffron-brown robes, rudraksha malas and layered beaded necklaces, with a red hair ornament and gold bangles, places a hand on his head and holds a folded white paper in the other hand. Several devotees in white shirts and dhotis stand in line behind a metal stanchion, and a saffron-robed attendant with a rudraksha mala stands beside the figure. The featured figure is a probable Swamiji by visible cues: swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, saffron robes and ornate gold necklace.
