A photograph of a diksha-style blessing in an indoor hall. A man with a shaved head and a tilak mark on his forehead wears a crimson and gold robe, rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles, and reaches forward with his right arm extended, palm open toward the head of a seated devotee. The devotee, in a white shirt with short dark hair, bows forward with his hands raised to his head to receive the blessing. Behind them a seated woman in white with a dark beaded mala watches calmly, and a partially visible man in white sits at the right edge. A brocade-patterned wall and a projection screen stand in the background, and a gold object is visible at the lower left. The blessing figure has a tilak and no clearly distinctive long hair or crown, so identity is uncertain.

A seated figure with a bun and white vertical tilak on the forehead, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over a gold-bordered yellow garment and a long rudraksha mala, touches the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a name badge who raises his palms in acceptance. Behind them a standing man in white and a woman in a blue-green sari with orange lanyard look on, a seated woman in a dark necklace rests her chin on her hands, and a gold lion-head ornament and red cloth appear in the foreground.

A photo of a blessing moment indoors. A person with hair in a bun, wearing a rust-red robe with a gold-bordered saffron shawl and a red hair tie, extends a hand in blessing toward the forehead of a man in a dark purple button-up shirt with an event lanyard, who holds his palms up in a gesture of reception. Beside them a seated man in a white dhoti and shawl with gold border, wearing wooden rudraksha beads and red arm bands, sits on a red cloth. A large gold-colored ornate object sits in the foreground. In the background, people in white and a woman in white stand near red curtains and a white ceiling fan.

A seated man in a rust-red wrap with a gold-braided edge and bare shoulder places both hands on the head of a short-haired, grey-haired man in a white collared shirt. The seated man wears a red-and-gold ceremonial garment, a sandalwood-coloured mark on his forehead, and a gold tiger-head ornament is visible behind him. A woman in white with a bindi watches at the right edge. Ceremonial blessing, padapuja-style darshan setting, indoors with wood-panelled walls.

A woman in a maroon and gold-bordered sari with her hair in a low bun stands at left, extending her right arm to press her palm to the forehead of a young man in a black t-shirt with eyes closed and hands raised to his face. A man in a white shirt and a bald priest in white dhoti hold a silver vessel behind them; a golden ceremonial object sits in the foreground. A woman in white stands in the background before a red curtain. Photograph of a blessing or darshan moment in an indoor hall.

A photograph of a satsang-style gathering. On the left, a long-haired man in a maroon-red shawl and rudraksha-style beaded necklace reaches out to place his hand on the forehead of a short-haired man in a white shirt and red-brown shawl, who has his eyes closed. A woman in white with dark beads sits behind them, and other devotees in white and red shawls stand in the background. An orange fringed cloth hangs at the upper left. The long-haired man's presentation with beads, shawl and flowing hair is a person candidate, though the image is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.
