A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair, wearing a thick gold necklace and a white flower garland, with a hand raised on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows with palms pressed together. A standing older man in white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala and wristwatch, watches with palms joined. The backdrop is covered in white jasmine-like flowers and red blossoms. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) for the seated figure in orange robe, long hair, gold necklace and garland, a ceremonial blessing role.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with long swept-back black hair, a white tilak and red bindi on his forehead, seated on an ornate gold-carved throne with red-striped cushions against a green wall. He raises his right hand toward the head of a man in white kurta and dhoti who bows forward with his head lowered. A third man in an orange-trimmed white garment stands at left, and another person in patterned clothing stands at the right edge. Green-leaved white floral decorations hang at the top left. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron robes, presiding in the role of a teacher giving blessings to a devotee.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair and a smile, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a gold necklace with a pendant, on an ornate gold-framed red throne decorated with white and yellow flower garlands. A golden lion figure sits at the base of the throne. A man in a white shirt with an orange scarf and glasses stands behind, holding a silver vessel. In front, a man in white clothes bends forward to offer his respects, touching the seated man's hands. A camera on a tripod is visible at the right edge.

A seated man in orange-saffron robes sits in front of a floral backdrop of white jasmine and green garland trim. He wears a long multicolour garland of white flowers with pink, green and blue ribbons, a gold ceremonial pendant, and a red bindi. Two young men in plain white shirts stand on either side of him: the one on the left presses his palms together in namaskar while the one on the right stands close, both apparently offering reverence. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha-style red bead necklace is visible on one attendant. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji, seated in saffron robes with long hair and ornate gold pendant, receiving devotees. The image is a photograph of an event with three physical people.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair and a white garment with gold border, wearing a white shawl draped with white and yellow flower garlands, on an ornate gold and red throne decorated with flower garlands and a gold lion-head carving. Swamiji (probable) is the figure seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, flower garlands and white-and-gold ceremonial clothing; a devotee in a white shirt and dhoti bows and touches his head to the seated figure's hand while holding garlands. Behind them a monk in saffron robes with a beaded necklace stands, and a crowd of women in saris and onlookers watch under a pink and white canopy with marigold garlands.

A photograph of a man in an orange saffron robe with a long white and pink-purple flower garland sitting and placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt who kneels before him, bowing forward. The man has long, swept-back dark hair, bare chest, and is smiling. A second seated man in an orange shawl and white garment sits behind the boy. White drapes and a red curtain appear in the background, with a white fan and potted plant at right. The man in orange has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a garland, consistent with the a person cues, shown giving a blessing to a devotee in what appears to be an ashram hall.

A photograph of a seated figure in orange-saffron robes wrapped over one shoulder, wearing a long red and white flower garland with gold-green beads and a gold necklace, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white trousers.

The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and gold earrings, and sits on a cushioned seat beneath an orange-trimmed canopy with white and red floral decorations and a tiger-striped cloth behind him. The setting suggests a blessing or darshan moment on a stage.
