A photograph of a blessing at an indoor event with red drapes and a floral backdrop. A bare-chested man in a saffron wrap and red top, seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, raises his hand to touch the forehead of a bowed older man in a white shirt. Nearby, a young man in an orange shawl and white kurta stands beside a priest in white, and a woman in green and a small child in a floral dress look on. Several others crowd behind. Page cues do not confirm the seated man's identity, so the appearance-based identity remains unsure. Garlands and flower arrangements decorate the stage.

A seated man in an orange robe and marigold garlands sits on a golden throne with a red cushioned back, his hand raised toward the head of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bows forward with hands folded. Behind them, a man in a white kurta with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala watches, a woman in a maroon sari with a red bindi stands at left, and another man in white stands near the throne. A gold-ornamented carved backdrop and a red curtain frame the scene, with a thatched structure and greenery visible at the top left. The setting appears to be an outdoor-side pavilion with devotees receiving blessings.

A photograph of a seated figure on a gold ornate throne with a red cushioned seat and gilded carved armrests, set against a gold leaf tree backdrop. The central seated figure wears a sleeveless orange robe, a rudraksha mala, and has long swept-back dark hair; a person candidate, with long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha beads as cues. Around him, a young man in an orange robe and white shirt kneels and sits on the red-draped platform, and a man in white and orange shawl stands behind placing his hand on a seated boy in a striped shirt whose head is bowed. Other devotees stand behind in white and pastel clothes, and a woman in white at right holds a shawl near flowers on the platform.

A photograph of a stage event with a seated man in an orange-saffron shawl over a red sleeveless top, with a horizontal tilak mark on his forehead and hair tied back. He sits on a cushioned seat with a silver-gold draped canopy behind him, leans forward and rests a hand on a small boy in a plaid shirt who bends toward him. A man in a white kurta with a red-beaded mala stands behind, and a woman in a white sari with dark stripes is at left. Yellow marigold garlands hang along the backdrop. The seated man shows appearance cues of the a person, though his identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Visible people: about four.

A photograph of a satsang blessing in a decorated hall. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a maroon-red wrap sits on the left, his hand raised over the head of a young boy in an orange kurta with a rudraksha mala who presses his palms together. Behind them, a young woman in a white top with a red-orange shawl and a man in white with a red shawl stand with hands folded. Ornate gold garlands and deity murti decorations are visible in the background, along with green foliage. The man's appearance with long hair, rudraksha and a wrap is consistent with the page's claim, so he is described as a probable Swamiji, giving the blessing.

A seated figure in a red-orange turban, orange-red robe with gold trim and a rudraksha mala bead necklace places his hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed young man in white kurta with orange cloth. Behind them a woman in white with red sari border and beaded necklace gestures with her hand, and several men in white kurtas with orange-red shawls stand watching. A red cushioned throne-like seat is at the lower left and a red and gold setting frames the scene. The gesture appears to be a blessing or initiation touch. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a red turban, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala cues.

Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver throne with red-and-black upholstery, in front of a red and white patterned backdrop with red and yellow flower garlands draped above. The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe over a red undershirt, with a white tilak on the forehead and hair swept back, and holds a thin stick or wand while touching it toward a devotee's hand. A woman in a red blouse and white sari with red border stands at left. Two men in white ritual clothes stand at right, one with his hands cupped forward, and a young man in a white shirt with a dark cord stands at far right. The seated figure has distinctive orange robes and swept-back hair consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, seated in the role of the one giving padha pooja, a ritual of honouring the feet. Five people are visible.
