A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron garment over a red undershirt and a red shawl, sits on a gold throne decorated with a floral garland of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. He rests his right hand on the head of a man in a white kurta who bows forward, his hand gripping the bowed man's hands. Scattered yellow petals fall around them. Seated devotees in orange and saffron clothing and onlookers in the foreground, a microphone stand and blue and red drapes complete the stage setting. Swamiji (probable) is shown by long hair, orange saffron clothing and a seated throne posture, with a devotee blessing being given.

A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange robe over a red garment with a small red mark on his forehead, eyes closed. Before him, a woman in a yellow salwar kameez bends forward and a man in a light blue striped shirt and dark blue trousers cups his hands over a small white offering, while a woman in white stands at left and a figure in orange stands at right. Behind them is a floral arrangement of gerbera daisies, marigolds and yellow chrysanthemums on a yellow wall, and a green carpet with scattered petals and a flower garland at the base of the throne. The seated man has distinctive long hair and orange robes, but the page does not state he is present, so his identity remains unsure.

A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange-saffron shawl, leans forward and places his hand on the head of a kneeling woman with her hair pulled back. A small white card is held up by an older man in glasses and an orange shawl standing behind them. Several onlookers stand nearby in white and orange clothing, one young man in a patterned shirt, and a man in a white shirt holds lanyard badges. The setting is an indoor room with a red curtain, a wooden cabinet, and a tiled floor, with a small fan and folded papers on a low table. The seated man has a white forehead mark and is giving a healing blessing; he is probable Swamiji, identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and bare-chested ceremonial appearance.

A photo of a seated man with long swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti marks and a red bindi, wearing an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, extending his hands over a white-covered table of books and items. Beside him a monk in an orange robe holds an open book and pen, and a woman in white with a red bracelet and a older woman in an orange sari with rudraksha beads sit in front. Standing behind are young men in white shirts and orange shawls, and a trident is visible at the upper right.

A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a pale green embroidered garment and a white turban-style headpiece with gold trim, receiving water poured from a terracotta pot. An older man in white kurta and glasses, with an orange scarf, bends forward with cupped hands held toward the seated figure. A younger man in white with an orange scarf stands behind holding the pot, and bald men in orange and white robes stand in the background. A woman in the lower left corner is partly visible. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a red curtain. This looks like a ritual washing or abhishekam-style offering of water.

Another man in a saffron and maroon robe with a rudraksha mala stands behind, and green tinsel decorates the background.
