A photo of a devotee bowing forward with both hands touching a seated figure's hands, in an indoor hall with a tent-like ceiling. The seated figure wears a long-sleeved saffron-orange garment and a multi-strand pearl necklace with a red ceremonial garland, with long dark hair swept back, seated on an orange-upholstered throne-style chair with a dark red cushion. A bald man in a white shirt stands at the right edge, and a man in a white dhoti-style garment with orange sash stands behind. Two women in light saris stand in the background. A tray of fruit, bananas and sweets sits on a red-edged table in the foreground. The seated figure's appearance and cues (swept-back long hair, saffron clothing, pearl necklace) are consistent with the page's claim, so this appears to be Swamiji (probable) seated on his throne receiving a devotee.

A seated man in long dark hair and an orange saffron garment places his right hand on the head of a standing man in a cream collared shirt and rudraksha mala, who presses his palms together in respect. Behind them, a shaved-headed priest in white with an orange shawl and another man in white with a yellow shawl and forehead markings stand at a tented ritual space, with a tray of sweets and offerings at the right. Several onlookers in white and yellow clothing stand in the background, a yellow pillar with a decorative band is visible at the top, and a gold trishul rests near the seated figure.

A seated man in an orange-saffron garment with long, swept-back black hair places his hand on the head of an older man bowing forward in a white shirt and white dhoti. The bowing man has a red mark on his forehead and holds his hands together in namaskar near his chest. Behind them a line of men in white and light shirts stand and watch in a hall with striped white canopy and decorated pillars with painted elephant motifs. A red velvet cushion sits at the right edge and a small tray of items is set on a white cloth in the foreground. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and saffron clothing match the a person cues, while the others are devotees.

A photograph of a healing or blessing moment indoors under warm, dim lighting with hanging decorative cloth above. A person with long, dark, curly hair in an orange sleeveless top places a hand on the shoulder of a balding older man in a white short-sleeved shirt and light trousers who bends his head forward. A second woman in an orange-red sari with a bindi stands behind, reaching toward the man's forehead. A badge hangs from the man's neck and another orange-clad person stands at the right edge. The orange-clad figure with long curly hair shows appearance cues but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a devotee or sannyasi.

A photograph of a man in a seated position on a red and gold throne being bowed to by an older man in a white shirt and glasses. The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe and layered gold-and-bead necklaces, with a white tripundra marking and red bindi on the forehead, and rests one hand on the older man's shoulder. The older man, in white shirt and dark trousers, leans forward with hands together. Behind them stand a young man in a cream kurta and a shaved-headed man in an orange cloth. A green tree-painted backdrop and gold throne carvings frame the scene.

The woman, seated on the chair, touches the kneeling man's forehead in blessing. Standing around them are men in white and yellow shawls, one in a white dhoti with a purple-marked shirt, and another in orange robes. A wooden tray with small items sits beside the chair, and a painted red and white border decorates the wall behind.

A seated figure in orange robes and a long pearl necklace, with dark swept-back hair, places a hand on the forehead of a man in a cream short-sleeved shirt who bows and holds a yellow object in cupped hands. A standing man in white with an orange shawl and a pendant necklace smiles behind them, and an older woman in a white top stands in the background of a hall with red curtains and a yellow patterned pillar. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure receiving the blessing, identified by orange robes, ornate pearl necklace and swept-back hair; the bowing man is a devotee.
