A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with his hair tied in a bun, holding a small object in both hands and leaning toward a young boy in a red-and-white striped shirt with a beaded cord around his neck. The boy is looking up and appears to be receiving something from the man. Beside them, a second man in orange, with a red tilak on his forehead, sits at the left edge. Behind them are bottles of water, a potted plant, a decorated flower arrangement with red and white blooms, and a white fan.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a white flower garland and long dark hair sits on a red throne before a gold-decorated backdrop with a yellow curtain. He reaches toward a young boy in a white shirt and dark trousers who bows over a brass tray of offerings, holding out his hands. Golden ritual vessels are visible at lower right.

A seated man with long dark hair, an orange-brown wrap over bare shoulders, and a long orange-beaded mala draped across his chest sits on a red cushioned seat, facing right with a white vertical forehead mark. He reaches forward with a gold bracelet on his wrist to take a small clear glass or cup from a boy in a red checked shirt, who leans in to hand it over. Behind them a blurred woman in a pale sari and another person are visible in the room.

A photograph of a ritual scene indoors in front of a red curtain and a floral garland of red, pink and white flowers. A man in an orange-red robe with a long-haired, swept-back style, a white and red forehead marking, and a heavy gold necklace with dark rudraksha beads stands and touches the bare shoulder of a shaven-headed boy in a white dhoti. A kneeling attendant in orange cloth holds a gold vessel with white liquid. A woman in a cream sari with grey border and beaded necklace stands at right. The man's identity is unsure from appearance; he is described by role as a ritual officiant.

A seated man in an orange saffron wrap with a long rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead reaches toward the bowed head of a young boy in a grey t-shirt. The man's hair is pulled up in a topknot. Behind him stands a red table holding a plate of gold-wrapped sweets, a water bottle and an orange cloth. A red pillar and an orange drape frame the room. a person appearance cues include the saffron clothing and rudraksha mala; the man is performing a blessing on the child.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a thick rudraksha mala and a long dark hair knot, bearing white sacred ash on his forehead, extends his right hand in blessing toward the head of a young boy in a white shirt and red-and-white checked cloth with an orange thread. The boy stands with eyes closed and hands folded. Behind them a second man in white with a yellow-bordered cloth and white forehead marks sits, and blurred figures stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated blessing figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, the cues the page associates with Swamiji, though this is an appearance-based label.
