A photograph of a bald man in a white kurta with a red-and-orange beaded necklace, his palms raised in front of him, being touched on the forehead by a woman with her hair in a bun who leans forward with her arm extended. Behind them a large golden figure. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with light wood panelling. This appears to be a blessing or pada-puja style interaction. The man shows no visible crown, long hair or saffron clothing, so his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.

A photograph of two men raising their hands in a shared gesture, with a brass oil lamp on a tall stand behind them. The man on the left wears a white kurta with a red cord around his neck and his arms raised high. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold border, sits cross-legged on a red cushion, and smiles while raising one hand, with the other hand extended palm-up toward the lower frame. His hair is swept back and he wears a dark bead necklace. The background is a warm golden-orange backdrop with a circular emblem. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the orange robe has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a dark bead necklace, and sits in a position of honour.

A photo of a satsang where a long-haired figure in white robes and a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, raising one hand in blessing. Facing them, a man in a white shirt presses his palms together in namaskar beside a brass oil lamp stand. Behind them a few other people are partly visible in a room with pale walls. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold adornments, which fits the a person appearance cues, and is shown in the role of teacher giving blessing from the throne.

Indoor satsang or diksha scene. A bald man in a white kurta with a lanyard stands bowed, his head touched by the raised right palm of a seated figure in a rust-orange sari-style garment with a gold border and a long rudraksha-style mala of brown beads. The seated figure holds a printed sheet of paper in the left hand. Gold ornate decorations and a gold-coloured shrine or throne are visible in the foreground, with a warm wall and a blurred screen behind. Two people are visible, the seated figure and the standing devotee, with a partially visible third person at the right edge.

A photograph of a ceremonial moment indoors in front of a decorated altar with flowers and a lit oil lamp. A person with long dark hair, wearing a white garment with gold beaded ornaments, sits on an ornate throne-like seat and rests a hand on the crown of the head of a older man in white clothes with a red-bordered shawl, who holds his palms together in a respectful gesture. Floral garlands and a lit oil lamp are visible in the background.

A photograph of a ceremonial blessing at an indoor event. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace wears a white garment wrapped over one shoulder and an arm band, and stands on the left with his hands extended over the head of a seated older man in white clothing. Behind them, a lit oil lamp and a red and gold cloth are visible, along with a window and a wall. The gesture appears to be a blessing or darshan.

A photograph of a seated figure in a red-and-gold saffron-toned robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a long beaded necklace, sporting a white tripundra forehead mark, pressing his right palm onto the crown of a man's head. The recipient wears a white collared shirt and bends forward with palms raised in a blessing gesture. Behind them is a golden ornate shrine wall with lattice panels, brass lamps and gilded decorations on a red-cushioned seat. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's cues of saffron-coloured clothing and a beaded necklace, though the identification is uncertain, so the description is labelled probable in appearance terms only.
