A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange cloth wrap with a long red and yellow flower garland around his neck and dark hair swept back. He rests one hand on the head of a young boy in a white polo shirt with red trim and a rudraksha mala, who bows forward. Behind them a woman in a green and gold sari with beaded necklaces watches, and a girl in purple sits at the right. Trays of sweets and packets sit in front, and a red curtain and white walls form the room. Appearance-based label: a person, giving blessing to a child.

A photograph of an indoor ashram darshan scene. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange clothing with a white forehead band and a rudraksha-style bead necklace places a hand on the head of a young boy in a red-and-white striped shirt, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A younger child in a white and yellow striped shirt is held up nearby, with a woman in an orange sari and glasses behind them and another person in red at the top edge. The setting has a red curtain and a white wall.

Indoor satsang scene. A long-haired man in orange-brown robes with a red flower garland sits on a dark red chair, his right hand extended to rest on the head of a young boy in a black T-shirt with yellow trim, who holds his palms together in front of him. Behind them, women in orange saris with yellow borders and rudraksha malas sit or stand, one in a white sari with a gold necklace. A tray of sweets sits at lower left, a folded orange towel on the armrest, and an air conditioner is mounted on the wall. Several people are visible, including a girl in white at right.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap and rudraksha malas pressing his right palm onto the forehead of a young boy in a dark striped polo shirt, who stands with hands folded in anjali. The man smiles; both wear rudraksha beads, and the boy also wears a pendant. Behind them, people in orange, yellow and white clothing move in a crowded hall with red drapes on the left. A green light glows in the background. Visible people include the two main figures and several others partly in view, so the count is in the 6-20 range.

A photograph of a bare-chested man in orange ochre cloth with a long rudraksha and silver bead mala and a gold pendant necklace, seated on a red cushion. He has hair tied in a bun, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a boy. The boy, in a turquoise t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, has his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered. Behind them a woman in an orange saree and another person in blue stand in a plain room. The man has distinctive long rudraksha and gold adornments and an orange wrap, consistent with the page reference to a person, so this is a probable identification of the seated man, who is blessing the boy.

A seated man in an orange-brown saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a red and gold flower garland places a decorated pink and gold cap on the head of a young boy in a striped white and yellow shirt with a green beaded necklace. Behind them a woman in a white and green sari and a woman in a red patterned kurta stand or sit in a bright room with an air conditioner and a sheer curtain. Another man in orange carries a small child. The scene looks like a blessing or cap-placing ritual during a satsang gathering. Swamiji (probable) is the seated robed figure with the flower garland, long hair and saffron clothing.

A seated figure with long dark hair tied back, wearing a tiger-striped orange and black shawl over bare shoulders, multiple strands of white and brown beaded malas across the chest and waist, and rust-coloured cloth on the lap, places a hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt standing before him. Two women watch: one in a white sari with a beaded necklace, another in a blue blouse with a gold necklace, and a white fan and maroon curtain stand behind. A white card is held in the blessing hand.
