A photograph of a blessing moment in an ashram setting. A figure in a rust-red turban, red floral garland, rudraksha bracelets and a saffron-red wrap sits on a green-carpeted platform, both hands raised to rest on the heads of two devotees kneeling before them. The devotee in front wears a teal embroidered sari and holds an orange, and a man in a white shirt kneels beside her with his head bowed. Green foliage, a rock, and a tray of oranges and printed cards sit in the foreground, with a yellow altar cloth behind. Other people in orange and white stand at the edge of the frame. The blessing figure's appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so the candidate is described by role only.

The kneeling man wears a white short-sleeved shirt and holds an orange in his hands near several fruits on a green cloth in front. Behind them, green potted plants surround a yellow-draped altar with gold-necklaced deity murti. On the right, a standing woman in white clothing with a maroon border and rudraksha mala watches. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron robes and rudraksha cues but the appearance is uncertain, so this is recorded as an unsure candidate.

A photograph of a ritual blessing indoors with warm pink-red lighting. A man in a red turban and red-and-orange saffron robe, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala, extends both hands to press his palms onto the forehead of a bare-chested man in a white dhoti-style cloth with a red rudraksha mala, who stands with hands folded in namaste. Behind them, several people in white and red garments, some wearing flower garlands, stand watching; a woman in a white sari with a long braid is at the right edge. A golden vessel and red flowers sit at the lower left. The scene reads as a blessing or initiation ceremony.
