A seated man with long swept-back dark hair and an orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold scrollwork and a red cushion, marigold garlands hanging behind him. He raises his right hand to rest on the head of an older bald man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala, who bows forward with palms pressed together. Another white-clad attendant stands at left and a woman in a patterned top stands at right holding a small object. A tray of fruit and offerings sits in front of the throne. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron-orange robes and a throne, consistent with the page's Swamiji (probable) cues, shown in the act of blessing a devotee in a Kalpataru darshan setting.

A seated man with long dark hair tied in a bun, wearing a bare-chested orange-and-gold dhoti-style garment, a layered rudraksha and gold bead necklace, and a vertical tilak on his forehead, places both hands on the head of an older bearded man with long white hair. The older man, dressed in an orange robe, bows forward with his eyes closed. The seated figure sits on a gold-carved throne with red upholstery in a warmly lit room.

Photograph of a seated figure with a white vertical forehead mark and dark hair in a bun, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala and gold chain, bending forward with palms raised toward a standing man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a lanyard badge, who raises his arm in greeting; the two smile. Behind them hangs a red drape, a red tray holds small offerings, and a gold ornate chair back appears at right.

A seated man in an orange-saffron garment with a white jasmine garland and a red-and-white flower garland places his right hand on the crown of a shorter man's head while his left hand rests on the chest of a man in a white kurta. The garland-wearer has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and gold ornaments, and sits before a red-cushioned gold throne-like seat decorated with flowers. The man in white, with short dark hair, bows forward receiving the blessing. A partly visible person in white stands at the right edge, and a yellow curtain forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is present in appearance, given his long hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace and throne, and the page identifies Swamiji at this event. The scene shows a blessing or pada pooja-style ritual on a dais.

A man in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti forehead mark and a large pink flower garland raises his hand to bless the head of an older grey-haired, bearded man in white clothes with folded hands. Two other men in white and an onlooker in a dark shirt with glasses watch and smile. The blessing figure holds a small white paper in his other hand. A candidate matching a person by cues of long hair, saffron robe and garland, appearing as a probable identification from appearance alone, in an attendee role. Several more people stand behind.

A gold-ornamented carved backdrop and a red curtain frame the scene, with a thatched structure and greenery visible at the top left. The setting appears to be an outdoor-side pavilion with devotees receiving blessings.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a dark rudraksha mala and gold ornaments sits on an ornate gold and red throne, placing vibhuti or a blessing mark on the forehead of a bespectacled older man in an orange kurta with a white shawl, who presses his palms together in respect. A woman in a red-and-gold sari with a mala stands at left with hands folded, and a shaven-headed priest in white dhoti with a sacred thread stands behind. A tray of flowers and offerings sits on a table. The background wall has a dark sign with white lettering, and a small deity murti stands in an alcove at right.
