A night-time outdoor ritual where a man in white dhoti-style kurta, wearing a white jasmine garland with red roses and a rudraksha mala, stands with a banana in each hand and a red tilak on his forehead. Facing him, a woman in an orange and green silk sari and a child in a blue-green checked dress with curly hair receive the offering, the child held on her hip. Behind them a woman in white with a garland holds a tray. Dark background with a stone wall. Watermarked photo credit omitted.

A man in white ritual clothing with a white forehead mark and a rudraksha mala stands at night, wearing a long white garland of jasmine with red roses, and eats a piece from a banana-like fruit or sweet held in his hands. A woman in an orange and green silk sari, also garlanded, holds the offering to his mouth while a young girl in a light blue dress is held on her hip and watches. In the background, another woman in white holds a brass plate with offerings. The setting appears to be an outdoor ashram courtyard with a warm brick-coloured wall behind.

Photograph of a child-blessing moment at a temple-like setting. A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, an orange saffron garment and a large garland of red, yellow, pink and white flowers sits before an ornate gold throne-like backdrop with flowers behind. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and flower garland are the qualifying cues) is seated and laughing, reaching toward a toddler in a pink-and-white checked outfit held by a man in white with a rudraksha mala and glasses. A woman with long hair in a bun and a man in orange clothing stand at left and right, one holding a steel plate of rice or grain offered toward the child.

A seated man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe wears a long fresh garland of marigold-like flowers with pink and green tassels and gold beads, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. He smiles and reaches his open hand toward a baby wrapped in white and blue clothing, held up by an older woman in a red sari with gold border and red blouse, wearing glasses and a thin gold chain. Behind them a red tray holds apples and other fruit, and white-clad people stand in the background.

A brass vase with pink and red flowers and a gold ornamental object sit behind them.
