A photograph of a darshan moment at an indoor hall with white walls and red curtains. A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange top with a saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha-style plain outfit, placing both hands on the head of a young man in a white shirt who bows forward. A woman in a white sari with a red-patterned border smiles behind him, and a second woman in a traditional sari stands to the right. Fruit and a plate of sweets sit at the lower left. Several people in white and pale clothing stand in the background. The saffron-clad man shows distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and shawl, so the appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable) giving blessing to devotees.

A photograph of a monastic figure in an orange-saffron shawl and shorts-length orange garment, with long dark hair swept back, pressing both hands to the forehead and temples of a man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a small pattern and a wristwatch. The bystanders include two women in white and blue saree-style clothing at left and a woman in a white top at right. The setting is an indoor hall with a corrugated or thatched ceiling, fluorescent lights, a fan, and a speaker on a stand. The orange-clad figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only loosely, so the identity is left unsure and the figure is described by role as a sannyasi giving a blessing.

He places both hands on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a lanyard, who has his palms pressed together in a gesture of respect. Several women in white and yellow stand in the background near a plain wall and window, and a shaved-headed devotee in orange sits at the lower edge. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), giving blessing to a devotee at a satsang setting; the orange robe, long hair and ornate throne are the qualifying cues.
