A photograph of a ceremony in which a long-haired man with a beard, wearing a garland of pink roses and white flowers over a reddish-brown shawl, places his right hand on the forehead of a smiling shaved-headed man in white cloth with an orange border and a rudraksha mala. The smiling man raises his left hand in front. Other men in white dhotis with golden-yellow borders stand behind them, and a brass vessel is visible at lower left. The setting appears to be a temple or ritual hall. The long-haired man's clothing and garland are distinctive, but his identity is not established from appearance alone.

A photograph of an indoor blessing moment in a warm-lit room with cream walls and arched windows. A smiling man with long dark hair and a red-streaked tilak on his forehead, bare-chested and wearing an orange-and-gold shawl over one shoulder, wears a white and orange-blue garland. He raises his right arm and rests his hand on the head of an older man with short grey hair and a grey moustache, who wears a white shirt and has his eyes closed. Behind them a photographer in glasses holds a camera, and another white-clad person is partly visible at left. The shot is taken from a low angle.

A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair, bare-shouldered and wearing a thick white jasmine garland, places his right hand on the forehead of a smiling young man with slicked-back hair, hoop earrings and a red beaded necklace. The young man, in white clothing, holds his palms together in namaskar. Behind them, other people in white dhotis and bead malas stand in a ceremonial gathering, with a brass bowl or vessel partly visible at the upper right. The man giving the blessing has a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and wears a rudraksha mala. This appears to be a blessing or diksha moment during a satsang setting. a person identity is not established from appearance alone.

Photograph of a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white forehead markings, wearing a saffron-orange wrap, multiple rudraksha malas and gold ceremonial necklaces, plus beaded bracelets. He rests both palms on the head of an older bald man wearing glasses and a white shirt, who has his hands pressed together in prayer. Other people with white and pale clothing are partially visible at the edges of a bright indoor hall. This appears to be a blessing or initiation gesture. a person is described by his appearance, with long swept-back hair, a crown-free ornate saffron wrap and multiple rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, while the page identifies this event as a 2013 satsang.

A photograph of a seated ritual blessing at an indoor event. A long-haired man in a white dhoti and white shawl, bare-chested with multiple rudraksha malas on his neck and arms, extends his right palm toward the forehead of a bald, grey-haired man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala who kneels with his head bowed. Another seated figure in white and white flower garlands are visible in the background, with a red curtain and a patterned glass panel behind. The long-haired figure's appearance (swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, bare-chested with white shawl) is a probable match for Swamiji, shown performing a blessing on a devotee.

A photograph of a close, intimate blessing moment. A smiling young man with long dark hair, hoop earring, and rudraksha mala with a white cloth garment stands on the left, eyes closed and grinning. A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair and a white vibhuti or tilak mark on his forehead reaches out to press his palm on the young man's forehead; he wears a red wrist thread, a pink-and-white flower garland, and an orange-red cloth. Gold ornaments and a white-robed figure appear in the blurred background. Two people are visible; the a person appearance is not certain enough to claim identity.
