A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a draped ceiling, saffron valance and a projector screen showing a framed portrait. On the right, a smiling man with swept-back dark hair, white tilak on the forehead, rudraksha and gold-bead malas and an orange-red wrap stands with his right hand raised in blessing over the head of a kneeling devotee in a white checked shirt whose palms are pressed together. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts, a man in a blue shirt and a man in red cloth watch; a woman carrying a small child stands at left. Swamiji (probable): the right-hand figure shows long swept-back hair, rudraksha and gold malas and orange-red clothing, consistent with the page. Visible people number about ten.

A photograph of an indoor hall with a maroon curtain backdrop and a gold throne-like seat in the background. A man in a rust-red shawl with long gold beaded necklaces and a long dark swept-back hair, with white horizontal tilak on forehead, extends his right hand with a gold bangle to bless a man in a pale pink shirt who bows his head. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, a red-orange shawl and ornate gold necklaces, cues consistent with the page's identification. To the left, a man in a striped shirt and glasses watches with hands clasped, and another devotee in a checked shirt stands with palms pressed together. A priest in white dhoti with a white-marked forehead stands at right.

A smiling man with long, swept-back dark curly hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a bare-chested orange-saffron wrap, wears layered rudraksha malas and a ceremonial silver-and-gold necklace, and reaches out to place his hand on the head of a man who bows with palms pressed together in namaste. The bowing man wears an orange shawl over white clothing. Behind them, other people in white and striped shirts stand in an indoor room with red curtains, and an ornate shrine with deity figures is visible at right. Appearance-based identification is uncertain, so this figure is described by role as the blessing giver. a person is not asserted.

A long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace, places his palm on the forehead of a kneeling man in a striped pink shirt during a blessing in a hall with coloured cloth pillars. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, orange clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's Swamiji context. To his left, a man in white with folded hands and a rudraksha mala watches. Other devotees in white and orange wait in a line behind, and a silver tray with offerings sits in the foreground.

Photograph of a darshan line in an indoor hall with white ceiling fans and a stage backdrop showing a painted deity panel and a gold-framed throne. A man in a long-sleeved white shirt with a blue ID badge bows forward with palms joined while a figure in saffron-brown robes, rudraksha malas and layered beaded necklaces, with a red hair ornament and gold bangles, places a hand on his head and holds a folded white paper in the other hand. Several devotees in white shirts and dhotis stand in line behind a metal stanchion, and a saffron-robed attendant with a rudraksha mala stands beside the figure.
