A photograph of a devotional gathering indoors with red curtains behind. A smiling man with swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, gold earrings and a long garland of red and white beads with a gold-bead necklace wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and extends his right hand in a blessing gesture toward devotees. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand in front of him with hands folded and palms pressed together, one holding a rudraksha mala. A older man with white sacred ash markings on his forehead wears a saffron waist cloth and white shirt. A bare-chested man on the right with white ash markings on his arm stands near a small wooden offering box. Several people are visible in the scene.

A photograph of a satsang-style blessing. A man in an orange robe with a thick red and green flower garland, layered beaded necklaces, a gold pendant and a bangle reaches out and places his palm on the head of a devotee with short dark hair in a light blue shirt, who stands with palms pressed together. Several other devotees in white shirts and white dhotis hold their hands in anjali behind them, one wearing a dark rudraksha-style mala. The man in orange has a white tripundra mark on his forehead and smiles. Pink walls and a red-and-white painted pillar with a yellow motif frame the room, and another person with a white-marked forehead is at the right edge. The orange-robed figure is presented as a person by the page cues, though the appearance is only partly consistent with the description, so the identity is uncertain.

Photo of a devotional exchange in an indoor hall. A smiling man with swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, white dhoti and shawl, and layered rudraksha malas is handing a red apple-like fruit to a man in a white shirt on the left. Around them, several men in white and one man in orange robes stand close, some with hands cupped to receive. White flower garlands are visible in the lower left.

A photograph of a smiling man in orange saffron robes and a gold-coloured headband with a red bindi, wearing a long garland of white flowers, red blooms and gold beads, raising one hand in greeting toward an older man in a white shirt with gold-bead garland who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them a bald monk in orange with gold beads and a red forehead mark stands among other onlookers in a pale yellow room. a person: the central saffron-robed figure wears a gold headband and gold garlands, a distinctive presentation cue, so he is recorded as a probable in-person candidate.

A man in a white shirt and dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaste while another man in a white shirt bows his head. A figure on the right wears a red-orange and gold sleeveless garment with a long red and yellow marigold garland and a rudraksha mala, and reaches out to touch the bowed man's head. Other people in white and saffron clothing stand around in an indoor hall with a golden throne and red drapes visible in the background. A gold ring and bangles are visible on the hands of the people in front.

A photograph of a ceremony in which a long-haired man with a beard, wearing a garland of pink roses and white flowers over a reddish-brown shawl, places his right hand on the forehead of a smiling shaved-headed man in white cloth with an orange border and a rudraksha mala. The smiling man raises his left hand in front. Other men in white dhotis with golden-yellow borders stand behind them, and a brass vessel is visible at lower left. The setting appears to be a temple or ritual hall. The long-haired man's clothing and garland are distinctive, but his identity is not established from appearance alone.
