A photograph of two men in a golden ornate setting. In the foreground, a man seen from behind with hair in a topknot and bare shoulders wears a white and yellow cloth, and he is reaching up to touch the head of the man seated before him. The seated man smiles broadly, wearing a rust-brown robe, a brown rudraksha-style mala across his shoulders, a long garland of pink flowers with green leaves, and a gold necklace. He has a white tilak line on his forehead with a red dot and a long beard. Behind him is a gold-carved throne with an orange cushion, and orange and gold decorations fill the background.

A man with long dark hair and a full black beard, wearing a red-ochre sannyasi wrap, a dark red mala of rudraksha-style beads and a gold necklace, sits smiling with eyes closed in front of an ornate gold throne. A red-and-gold brocade backdrop and a gold kalasha-like finial are visible at left. A second man in a white shirt bends forward at the left edge, touching or offering something near the seated man's hand, while a small red mark sits on the seated man's forehead.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-brown robe with a white-and-black forehead mark, wearing a white flower garland and a thick rudraksha mala, seated before an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. He smiles with closed eyes while a bald man in a white shirt with an orange-trimmed garment and orange lanyard reaches toward his forehead in a blessing gesture. Red curtains fill the background. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold-backed peetha, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate receiving or giving a forehead blessing.

A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair in a rust-orange sannyasi wrap and a thick rudraksha-style mala blessing a clean-shaven man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard. The blessing man's hand rests on the other's forehead while the white-shirted man raises his own hand. Gold deity statues, a gold staff and a red curtain stand behind them. Swamiji (probable) is the man in orange and brown robes with the long hair and mala, giving a blessing, so swamiji is in_person. Only two physical people are visible.

A smiling bearded man with long dark hair worn back sits in front of an ornate gold carved throne backdrop. He wears a rust-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, a small gold pendant on a chain, and a white horizontal line of sacred ash across his forehead. A red floral garland hangs at the top left, and a brass oil lamp stands in the lower left foreground beside a partially visible person in the frame's edge. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, with long swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl, gold necklace and sacred ash marks as the qualifying cues.

A photograph of a blessing moment on a stage. A man in a rust-orange garment with rudraksha beads and a long swept-back hairstyle, with horizontal white ash stripes and a red mark on his forehead, rests his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee with short grey hair who bows forward, wearing an orange shawl and rudraksha mala. A large silver ornamental figure stands behind them against a dark red curtain. The exchange appears to be a blessing. The bearded man matches the appearance cues described for a person, so this is a probable identification with an uncertain appearance-based label.

A long-haired man in an orange sleeveless garment with a red bindi and a dark rudraksha mala stands before an ornate golden throne-like structure against a deep blue backdrop. He holds his palms together in namaste while placing one hand on the head of a seated person in white clothing with grey hair and glasses, bottom right. The scene suggests a blessing during a program.
