A person with long, swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on the forehead, wearing an orange-saffron shawl with a yellow border and gold earrings, stands at right, bent forward and handing a small white tray or plate with red-and-white flower petals to a young boy in a red-and-white sports shirt. Behind them a man in white with a rudraksha mala and other onlookers watch against a red curtain with a bright, hazy light. The orange-shawled figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and gold earrings, so this is a probable Swamiji presence giving prasad to a child.

A photograph of a standing man in a red and gold-bordered robe with a long rudraksha mala around his neck and dark hair tied in a bun, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white polo shirt with blue stripes. The boy stands with palms pressed together and eyes closed in prayer, holding a small red item. The man holds a folded paper in his left hand. A bald man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits blurred in the background, and a partially visible person stands at the top left.

A seated figure in an orange-brown garment with a long orange-brown rudraksha-style mala and long dark hair extends a bare arm to place a hand on the head of a young boy kneeling before him with palms pressed together. The figure sits on a red cushioned seat. Behind them, a shaved-headed man with white tilak marks and orange cloth stands, and several boys in white t-shirts and blue lanyards lean in with hands together. A woman in a patterned top stands at the right edge. The setting appears to be an indoor hall during a blessing or initiation moment.

A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair and a ponytail, wearing an orange-saffron shawl and a beaded orange-brown necklace, smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a black shirt who has his palms pressed together. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and a bead pendant watches, and other people in white and orange-pink clothing stand in the background. A small offering tray with fruit and foil-wrapped sweets rests near the seated figure. The setting is an indoor hall with a pale wall.

A photograph of a seated person in an orange-red top and orange wrap placing one hand on the forehead of a young boy in a white kurta with a red and wooden bead mala and an ID badge. The boy's eyes are closed and he raises his other hand, palm out. Behind them, several people stand and sit in a hall, including a young man in a white t-shirt and another in a blue-and-white striped shirt, with a projection screen at upper left. The setting suggests a blessing or initiation moment during a seminar session.

A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange robe with a gold border and a long rudraksha mala, with white vibhuti marks and a red bindi on his forehead, placing his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in a white t-shirt who has his eyes closed and hands raised. A smiling woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches from behind the boy. The setting is an indoor hall with pale wall panels and a bright screen behind them. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the orange robe shows long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial clothing, and is shown blessing the boy.

A photograph of a ritual blessing inside a red-walled hall with brass oil lamps at left. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala on his chest, wearing an orange cloth, places his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a cream-gold kurta with an orange thread. The young man has his eyes closed and head bowed. The man giving the blessing has a white tilak on his forehead and a sandalwood-coloured necklace, and his long hair and bare shoulder give him a distinctive appearance; the a person field is unsure. Behind them, several women in white and red-bordered saris and yellow sarees stand watching, and a woman in red holds a plate. A white fan stands near the lamps.
