A seated figure in a red-orange turban and an orange-and-gold wrap, wearing a yellow flower garland and a bare-shouldered look with a sandalwood mark, sits on a gold-carved throne against a red tent backdrop, extending a hand to receive an offering. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends forward, holding out a small orange fruit, while a young boy in a yellow outfit kneels beside him. Several women in saris, one in green and one in orange, stand in the background. This appears to be a darshan moment where devotees offer fruit to the seated figure; the seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, garland, orange wrap and throne cues.

A seated figure in a rust-red and saffron robe with gold-bordered drape and a matching red turban adorned with gold discs sits on a red-and-gold throne upholstered in red with a leopard-print cushion. Heavy gold chains and gold armlets adorn him as he places his right palm on the head of a kneeling man in a white checked shirt and glasses. A woman kneels beside him in a beige kurta. Behind them, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands, and a woman in pink salwar with a girl in a floral dress and pink leggings waits in line. A gold lion-headed figure rests on a side table. The man's bowed posture and raised palm suggest a blessing (ashirvad) being given to a devotee; the setting is a carpeted hall with an air conditioning unit on the wall. Swamiji appearance cues: red turban with gold ornaments, saffron robe, gold necklaces and armlets, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne giving blessings.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange turban and orange-saffron garments, wearing a long pink and white flower garland, multiple beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and gold bangles. The figure places a hand on the head of a young boy in cream traditional clothing who bends forward to receive blessing. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala watches beside them. Behind them stand a gold-coloured deity murti, garlanded red and gold ornamental decorations, and a golden lion-faced throne arm in the foreground. The seated figure has distinctive long hair under the turban and ornate adornments, a person giving blessing in a satsang or darshan setting. Watermarked archive overlay is omitted.

A seated figure in a red turban with a small white crescent-like ornament, wearing a red robe, a white flower garland and a thick multi-strand gold and brown bead necklace, holds out an apple to a child in a white t-shirt while leaning forward from a red-draped throne-like seat. Two children in white shirts kneel before him, another seated devotee in white with a red-and-gold shawl assists from the lower right, and a standing woman in a white sari with a red-and-gold shawl and rudraksha mala watches smiling. A man in orange-red robes stands behind them. A red-draped table holds apples, and yellow and white flowers stand nearby beside a gilded deity murti or carved backdrop. The scene reads as a paada pooja-style darshan with fruit offerings.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha mala beads and a gold pendant necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead, rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt who bows low before him. Behind them, a woman in a purple blouse, a girl and another woman in pink look on, and a young girl in a red top with braided hair presses her palms together in anjali. A red-cushioned seat and a small painted deity figure with a red crown stand at left. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan. a person identification is uncertain; the seated man's appearance has some cues but not enough to confirm.
