A photograph of an indoor sarva darshan blessing inside a hall with white draped ceiling fabric and a yellow and blue patterned hanging. A young person in an orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair in a low bun places a hand on the forehead of an older man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt, who has a rudraksha-style red-brown mala around his neck and bows his head while another man holds his hand. Behind them a bald man in white with an orange stole watches, and an elderly woman with glasses and a yellow-sleeved person in white stand nearby. Fruit sits on a table at right and a red cloth is visible at the edge.

Photograph of a devotional blessing inside a hall with a crowd seated in the background. In the foreground, a man in red-orange robes with a white flower garland places his hand on the head of an older man in a white shirt and white trousers who bows forward, wearing a dark beaded mala with a pendant. A woman in a white sari with a red bindi touches the forehead of another devotee nearby, and a figure in an orange shawl stands at left. Flower garlands hang at the right edge. The clothing colours are white, orange and red, with marigold and white jasmine garlands.

A photograph of a crowded indoor hall where a figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a white flower garland stands embracing an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. The older man wears a mala necklace and bangles and smiles. Beside them a woman in a green-and-cream sari with a red bindi and beaded necklace presses her palms together in anjali. Several orange-clad devotees and women in saris stand around, and a child in the lower left folds hands in greeting. A red tray with fruit sits at the right edge, with a purple backdrop behind.

A photograph of a healing or blessing moment indoors under warm, dim lighting with hanging decorative cloth above. A person with long, dark, curly hair in an orange sleeveless top places a hand on the shoulder of a balding older man in a white short-sleeved shirt and light trousers who bends his head forward. A second woman in an orange-red sari with a bindi stands behind, reaching toward the man's forehead. A badge hangs from the man's neck and another orange-clad person stands at the right edge. The orange-clad figure with long curly hair shows appearance cues but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a devotee or sannyasi.

A photograph of a devotional blessing in a white-tented hall. In the centre, a young man in an orange sleeveless robe with a white tilak on his forehead and dark hair tied in a bun places his right hand on the head of an older man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt with a red-and-white mala around his neck. Behind them a bald man in white clothes with an orange shawl and a red bindi watches. A woman with glasses and a yellow-and-white cloth at the left edge is partly visible, and a yellow-and-blue hanging banner is at the top left. Fruit sits on a table at right.

A photograph inside a hall with a light tiled floor. A man with grey hair, white clothing and a white shawl bows forward with his palms pressed together while a long-haired figure in an orange sleeveless robe places a hand on his forehead in blessing. Behind them, several people in white kurtas stand, including a young man with an orange-red scarf and a man in glasses, with a yellow scarf and rudraksha-style beads visible on another. The setting suggests a darshan blessing. The copyright line and source credit are printed at the lower right.

Photograph of a man with dark hair and a grey moustache in a white shirt and gold bracelet, eyes closed, being blessed with a hand placed on his forehead by a figure in a red sleeveless top and orange shawl with long dark hair tied back. Another man in white stands behind them, and a few people are partly visible at the edges. In the background a dim hall has white garments on a rack and a framed portrait, with a seated figure at lower left. The orange-shawled figure is a candidate for a person by appearance cues of long swept hair and orange clothing, but the face and build are not clear enough to confirm, so this is marked as probable and uncertain.
