Photograph inside a large tented hall at a convention, with blue and cream drapery overhead and hanging lights. In the foreground a man in a white embroidered jacket and white dhoti sits on a red-and-orange cushioned seat draped with flower garlands, smiling and gesturing with his hands toward an older man in white shirt and white trousers who wears a green-and-yellow garland. A man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair sits at right, and a woman in a white salwar and blue-lined dupatta sits nearby. A tray of fruit, flowers and coloured offerings lies in front. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the background, many in white and orange.

A photograph inside a decorated tent with pale pink-white fabric and red drapes. A man in a white dhoti with gold-edged shawl sits on an ornate gold throne heavily garlanded with yellow, orange and purple flowers, lifting his hands toward a older man in a checked collared shirt who bows forward with hands raised, a red and yellow flower garland over his head. Around them, several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand, one holding a brass vessel, and a saffron-robed attendant holds fruit on a tray at right. Ceremonial gold ornaments and a gold-framed shrine are visible in the background.

Photograph inside a temple hall with a golden-framed throne and yellow curtains in the background. A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, white jasmine garlands, rudraksha beads and a saffron-orange shawl blesses a devotee by placing his palm on the man's head. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and garlands fit the page's reference. Several devotees in pink, beige and white shirts bend forward with hands folded in namaskar; a shaved-headed attendant in white dhoti stands at the right beside an ornate golden throne.

A photograph inside a tented hall with scalloped gold and blue drapery overhead and bright lights hanging from the canopy. A man in a white embroidered kurta with a white-and-red garland and a long black hair bun places both hands on the head of a seated man in a grey shirt, who bows forward with eyes closed, hands together. Behind them women in white with yellow shawls stand, and rows of seated devotees in white fill the hall. A large white jasmine garland hangs at the left edge. The white-clad man matches the a person appearance cues in the frame, so this is a person blessing a devotee during darshan.

A photograph of an outdoor tented event with pink-white canopy and red drapes. A man with swept-back dark hair, white dhoti and golden shawl, with a gold-beaded necklace, sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow and red flowers. He extends his hand toward a devotee. A young attendant in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands behind him holding a silver tray of fruit. Other people in orange and white, a woman in a grey embroidered outfit, and a girl in a yellow top are nearby. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, with the appearance cues of swept-back hair, golden shawl and ornate gold necklace.

A photograph of a stage ceremony. A long-haired man in orange robes and a gold necklace sits on a decorated throne with garlands, touching the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt and white trousers who bows his head. Around them, shaved-headed sannyasis in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit on the floor, some holding wooden staffs with orange flags. Orange banners hang above, and the floor holds small oil lamps. The seated man in orange is a probable Swamiji by appearance, long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace, placed on the throne; the man in white is a devotee receiving blessing.

A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange robe and a long garland of yellow beads, smiling on an ornate gold throne decorated with red and white flower garlands and a canopy of marigolds. A man in a white shirt bends forward and rests his hand on the seated man's head, as if offering blessings. To the left, an older woman in a lavender sari holds fruit, and a woman in an orange garment stands behind her. A bald man in the foreground watches. A bindi and tilak mark the seated man's forehead. The scene resembles a darshan setting with a throne and floral decoration.
