A photograph of an indoor satsang-style blessing. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange dhoti-wrap with a rudraksha mala and gold-bead necklace presses the palm of one hand to the forehead of a kneeling young man in a white kurta. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure on the left has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments. Around them, a man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala watches, a man in a striped shirt and an orange-lanyard volunteer stand behind, a bald man in a white shirt stands at right, and a man in the upper background looks on. Potted plant and maroon curtain in the room.

A photograph of a seated figure with long swept-back hair, bare-chested and wearing a heavy gold necklace with rudraksha malas, orange cloth draped over the body, extending a hand over a shaven-headed devotee who kneels before him amid rising smoke. Behind them, a silver-embossed throne with lion motifs. Nearby, a young woman in a grey dotted sari, a standing man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala, a woman in white with a mala, and children in orange and red clothing watch the blessing. The smoke suggests incense or a ritual fire. Swamiji (probable) is seated in the centre, identified by long swept-back hair, a heavy gold necklace and rudraksha malas over orange clothing.

A photograph of a diksha-style blessing in an indoor hall. A man with a shaved head and a tilak mark on his forehead wears a crimson and gold robe, rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles, and reaches forward with his right arm extended, palm open toward the head of a seated devotee. The devotee, in a white shirt with short dark hair, bows forward with his hands raised to his head to receive the blessing. Behind them a seated woman in white with a dark beaded mala watches calmly, and a partially visible man in white sits at the right edge. A brocade-patterned wall and a projection screen stand in the background, and a gold object is visible at the lower left. The blessing figure has a tilak and no clearly distinctive long hair or crown, so identity is uncertain.

A seated figure with long dark hair pulled back wears an orange-brown draped garment, a long red bead garland with gold accents, and bangles, and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl who has his palms pressed together in respectful greeting. Behind them, several women in orange and white garments and red and gold scarves look on in an indoor hall, with a fan and a wall-mounted unit visible at the left.

A seated figure in a brown leather armchair with a carved wooden frame smiles warmly while reaching out to place a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl. The seated person wears a deep maroon robe with a yellow-gold border, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala, and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, and has a vibhuti mark on the forehead. Behind them, two figures in orange robes with rudraksha malas stand near a wooden door, and a seated person in white with an orange shawl is in the lower left foreground. The setting is an indoor hall with white walls and a small microphone visible near the seated figure. a person appears here as the seated figure based on the long hair, gold necklace, maroon robe with gold trim and rudraksha mala, though the identity is not certain.

A seated figure in an orange-red robe with a long gold bead necklace and a dark rudraksha-style mala sits on a leopard-print cushion before an ornate silver frame, extending an orange cloth over the head of a kneeling woman in a white sari with a gold border and glasses. A shaved-headed man in orange kneels beside her, smoke rises in the foreground, and standing attendants in orange and saffron watch behind them. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan in an outdoor courtyard. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure with long swept-back hair, gold necklace and orange robe, receiving the blessing role.
