A photograph of a temple darshan line. A woman in a yellow sari with a maroon-and-gold border and a yellow head wrap leans forward and rests her hand on the shoulder of a young boy in a cream, black and orange top and red shorts. The boy's head is bowed toward her. Behind them, several men in white shirts stand with palms pressed together in namaskar. A metal barrier post with a chain runs beside the boy, and a blurred silver vessel sits in the lower right foreground. A tall man in jeans stands at the left edge. Visible people include the woman, the boy, the man on the left and men in the background.

A photograph of a darshan moment in an indoor hall. A man in a yellow turban and yellow saffron-coloured shawl, with layered beaded necklaces, red and gold bangles on his arms, and a red tilak on his forehead, rests his right hand on the head of a bare-chested devotee who bows with his palms pressed together. The devotee wears a rudraksha mala and an orange cloth draped over his shoulder. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind them, and a projection screen glows in the background.

A young boy in a white kurta with a red pendant sits with eyes lifted upward while a bare-armed man in an orange-red shawl presses his palm to the boy's forehead. A second man in saffron-orange cloth with a gold bead necklace, long hair and white forehead markings stands behind, one hand resting on the boy's shoulder. Red curtains and a pink wall form the backdrop; a blurred figure with dark hair is at left and another person in white stands at upper right. The scene appears to be a third-eye initiation, with the blessing hand placed at the brow.

Photograph of a priest in an orange turban and orange-and-maroon sacred attire with a white floral shawl, gold and beaded necklaces, placing his right hand on the head of a man in white kurta and dhoti who stands with palms joined in prayer. The priest holds a sheet of paper and looks down; a wooden table to the right holds rudraksha malas and small items. Two other men in white stand in the background before a stage backdrop, with a rope barrier and silver posts in front. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan at a satsang hall.

A photograph of a devotional blessing scene indoors. A long-haired man in a rust-orange shawl and a red and green bead mala, seen from behind and side-on, extends his right hand to rest on the forehead of a young boy in a navy and red striped polo shirt. Other people in orange and white clothing, a bald man in the foreground, and a man with white tilak markings sit or stand around them, with a red curtain and a cream wall behind. a person: the long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style bead mala and orange shawl are cues for the blessing figure, but the appearance is not conclusive.
