A photograph of an indoor gathering in dim, warm light. A person with long dark swept-back hair and an orange sleeveless top smiles while placing both hands on the head of a man with short hair who is bowing forward. The man wears a white loose shirt. Behind them, seated people in yellow and white clothing watch, and a plastic bottle sits at the lower edge.

A photograph of an indoor gathering where a man in a red shawl with long swept-back black hair and a red tilak on his forehead places his right hand on the head of a seated man in a white shirt with a moustache, who bows his head. A second man in white stands beside them, and another person in white is blurred in the left foreground. Warm yellow lights hang at the top right and the walls are pale pink. a person cues: long swept-back hair, red garment, and a red tilak; the figure is shown giving a blessing to a devotee.

A seated man in orange sleeveless robes and a long rudraksha mala places both hands on the head of a standing man in a white shirt and white trousers with a rudraksha mala, who bows his head with eyes closed. A third man in white dhoti-style clothing with an orange-red shawl stands behind them. Ornate gold objects and a red cushion sit at the lower right. a person: the seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the ashram's conferral of blessing. The scene is a blessing or darshan moment in an ashram hall with a white canopy and red drapery behind.

Photograph of a close blessing moment indoors. A smiling man in a white shirt with a black beaded necklace has his forehead touched by the raised right hand of a long-haired figure in an orange-saffron shawl, whose bare upper body and long dreadlocked hair are visible at right. Behind them a man in white with a white beaded necklace looks down, and a maroon curtain and brass railing frame the hall. The bare-chested figure with long dreadlocks and saffron wrap has distinctive adornments and hair consistent with the page's a person reference, though the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm it. The man receiving the blessing is a devotee.

A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron shawl and rudraksha mala beads, reaches toward the forehead of a young man in white clothes with an orange shawl and white mala. The young man raises one arm overhead. A seated man in a white dhoti with a white tilak sits behind them. Background includes air conditioners, a fan and a red cushioned seat, in a meeting room setting. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with long hair and saffron wrap and rudraksha beads, performing a ritual gesture of blessing or initiation on the young disciple.

A photograph of a seated man in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with long dark hair swept back, extending his right arm to bless a standing man in a white kurta who bends forward with palms pressed together over his head. A seated man at left wears a white shirt and a beaded rudraksha-style mala. A maroon curtain and a grey cooling unit stand in the background. The orange-clad figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ritual blessing gesture), so the identification is a probable Swamiji.
