A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-and-gold wrap with a rudraksha mala touching the forehead of a bald man in white clothes and an orange shawl, both smiling with raised hands. Behind them, several people in white and orange sit on a red mat before red drapes and an ornate golden deity murti, with a bundle of sticks held near the frame. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation exchange. The long-haired man with ornate cues matches the in-person candidate on the page, though identity is uncertain from appearance.

A photograph of a guru-disciple blessing at an indoor satsang. A man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered in an orange-brown wrap, sits on the left with a tilak on his forehead and rudraksha beads around his neck and wrist, placing his palm on the forehead of a young man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl, eyes closed, hands raised in respect. Behind them a seated man in white with rudraksha mala and a gold-yellow stole watches, and other devotees in red and orange shawls stand near floral decorations. The left figure matches the Swamiji (probable) presentation through his long hair, orange wrap and rudraksha malas, so he is marked as in_person. Five people are visible.

A seated man in white kurta with a red-orange shawl and an orange lanyard, eyes closed, palms pressed together, receives a touch on his forehead from a figure with long dark hair and a gold-yellow tilak, wearing a dark-red and saffron garment and a brown beaded rudraksha mala. The giver's arm extends across the frame, palm on the man's brow, a blessing gesture. Behind them, devotees in white and red-orange shawls with lanyards stand with hands folded. A water bottle, a small glass and a black device sit on an orange cloth at the lower left, and a red carpet runs along the background. The person giving the blessing appears to be a probable Swamiji by visible cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala.

A seated figure in a rust-red robe with gold border and a long beaded necklace stretches an arm forward to press his palm on the forehead of a bearded man in a black cap, white kurta and orange-red shawl with a conference badge. The recipient has his eyes closed and a hand raised, as if receiving a blessing. Behind them, several people in white kurtas and orange-red shawls stand in a hall with red draped walls, a golden decorative panel and a water bottle and cup on a small table. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, with his long hair, gold-bordered saffron-toned robe and beaded necklace as cues. The scene shows a blessing or darshan exchange during a satsang.

A man in a white shirt with a saffron-orange shawl stands with both palms raised while a long-haired, bare-chested sannyasi in an orange cloth presses his fingers to the man's forehead in an initiation blessing. Behind them, several men in white dhotis with gold borders and orange shawls stand in a room with maroon curtains. A gold ritual vessel sits in the foreground.

A photograph of a long-haired man with a white tilak on his forehead, bare-chested and draped in an orange-red shawl with a multi-strand rudraksha mala, placing his right palm on the forehead of an older white-haired man in white clothes and a red-orange shawl. Behind them a framed portrait shows a figure in orange robes and turban beside a gilded frame, and a seated woman in white and red shawl watches. Several other seated people in white and red shawls sit in the background, with a gold-coloured vessel at lower left. Probable Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, bare upper body, rudraksha mala and orange-red drape of the man giving the blessing match the qualifying cues, and the scene suggests a blessing or initiation gesture.

A seated man in an orange-brown robe with a long red and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead bracelet raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a standing devotee in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl and a wristwatch.

Probable Swamiji is visible, identified by long swept-back hair and orange robes with red garland.
