A photograph of a satsang-style blessing in an indoor hall. A man in a maroon-red turban with gold trim and a maroon-red shawl draped over bare shoulders, wearing a red-and-pink bead necklace, extends his right hand to press his palm on the forehead of a man in a white polo shirt with a name badge, whose hands are raised palm-out. Behind them, a woman in white with a beaded necklace stands with hands clasped, and a man in white dhoti and shirt stands with arms folded in the background. A red curtain and a split air conditioner are visible.

A photograph of a seated figure in a brown and gold robe and orange-striped turban placing a hand on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with rudraksha mala and a name badge. The seated figure has a rudraksha mala and a gold-trimmed brown shawl; a golden throne-like seat is at left. Another person in white with gold-bordered cloth sits behind, and a woman in white stands in the background near red curtains and framed photos. A red cushioned floor is visible. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment, with the seated figure's appearance matching the a person description: long swept hair, orange turban, ornate shawl and rudraksha mala.

Indoor darshan scene in a hall with red curtains and a golden throne edge at lower left. A seated figure in a maroon-red robe and a red-and-gold turban, with a rudraksha-style necklace, extends the right hand to bless the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and an ID badge, whose arms are spread open. Behind them, a standing man in white with an orange shawl raises a hand, and white-clad devotees stand and sit along the wall and beside the cushion. The page excerpt names Sukhdevanandji and Gurukul kids, but neither is visibly confirmed here.

A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace reaches forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in respect. The seated figure has long dark hair tied back and gold earrings and is smiling. Behind them hang red and orange draped fabrics, with flowers at the upper left. Two more people are partly visible in the background, including a woman with a red bindi and a person at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) from the distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and ceremonial saffron-toned robes, shown giving a blessing to a devotee.

A photograph of a shaven-headed? no. A man with a topknot bun wearing an orange-red saffron robe and a rudraksha mala stands leaning forward, placing his right hand on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt. The older man has both arms raised high in an open-palmed gesture, eyes closed, head tilted back. Behind them a second man in white stands near a red curtain, and several people in white garments stand in the background. Green potted plants and a brass or golden ritual implement appear in the foreground.

A photograph of a diksha-style blessing in a hall with a red mat on the floor. A woman in a rust-brown and gold-bordered sari with a rust-coloured peaked cap and a rudraksha-style necklace places her palm on the forehead of a man with closed eyes, his hands raised palm-outward. The man wears a white-and-grey striped polo shirt with a rudraksha mala and a name badge. Behind them, several men in white shirts stand and a woman in a cream sari watches, with seated devotees in orange at the right edge. A red curtain hangs on the back wall.

A photograph of a bare-shouldered figure in a rust-orange turban with a silver emblem and orange-gold robes with a rudraksha mala draped over the chest, placing a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. Around them, seated and standing devotees wear white with orange shawls; a woman at right holds a microphone and a woman at lower left has a yellow tilak. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan in an indoor hall with beige walls and a red-draped seating area. The cues of the turbaned figure (rust turban, orange robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold chain) are distinctive, so this is a person.

A photograph of two men in close physical contact indoors. The man on the left sits on a red cushion, bare-chested with a rust-red and gold shawl wrapped over his shoulder and a rudraksha-style cord at his waist, with long hair tied back and a yellow mark on his forehead; he presses both palms to the head of the man on the right. The man on the right is bald, wearing a white shirt and a beaded mala, bowing forward with eyes closed. A gold statue edge and red panel appear at the left edge.
