A photograph at an indoor Inner Awakening event where a man with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and a red-maroon robe with a long beaded rudraksha-style mala sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet cushion, touching the head of a young girl in red who kneels before him. Behind him stands a smiling woman in a white and red sari with a red mala, and to the right a woman in a red sari with a lanyard. Flower garlands in orange and white and a silver deity figure are visible in the background, with pink-lit walls and a stack of incense sticks on a low table beside the throne. A child's head is seen near a second red-clad figure on the right, and a darker background crowd is partly visible. The chair shows an elaborately carved silver-gold design, and a white towel lies on the armrest.

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 seated figure with a large swept-back dark hairstyle, wearing a red-maroon garment and a rudraksha-style red-brown mala, sits on an ornate gold-and-crimson throne. He leans forward to hold the hand of a young boy in white kurta with a red sash and a white tilak on his forehead, who stands at his side. Behind them a woman in white with a red shawl and tilak stands beside a man in white with a red sash and a mala. Gold-framed decorations, marigold garlands and a deity murti are visible in the background, with more people in red and white seated behind. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure on the throne, identified by his swept-back hair and maroon garment with rudraksha mala.

Photograph of a seated man in red-saffron robes with a gold-accented throne behind him, a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, and white vibhuti marks on his forehead, extending his hand in blessing toward a young boy in a white shirt who bends forward with his head lowered, a red patterned cloth draped over his head. A woman in a red and gold sari, wearing a rudraksha mala and holding a red cloth, stands at left. Golden deity murti and ornate decorations are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable) is seated, identified by his rudraksha malas, long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and the gold-accented throne. Several people are present in the scene.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-shouldered in a rust-orange wrap with a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, extends his right hand in blessing over the head of a kneeling devotee in white. Behind him are gold ceremonial garments and green foliage. The kneeling devotee in white with a red-bordered cloth and rudraksha beads presses palms together, while a boy in white with a red sash kneels in the foreground and a woman in white with a red shawl watches with hands folded. Other seated people in white and red appear behind. The setting suggests a satsang or darshan blessing. Swamiji (probable): the blessing figure has long hair, orange-red wrap, rudraksha mala and gold adornments, matching the page's claim.

A seated man in a maroon-red robe with a gold ceremonial necklace and a gold hair ornament reaches out to bless a curly-haired child in a white shirt, who raises both hands overhead. Behind them a woman in white wears a rudraksha mala and holds a small offering. Devotees in red and white robes stand in the background of a bright hall with white floors and warm lamps.

A photograph of a satsang blessing in a decorated hall. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a maroon-red wrap sits on the left, his hand raised over the head of a young boy in an orange kurta with a rudraksha mala who presses his palms together. Behind them, a young woman in a white top with a red-orange shawl and a man in white with a red shawl stand with hands folded. Ornate gold garlands and deity murti decorations are visible in the background, along with green foliage. The man's appearance with long hair, rudraksha and a wrap is consistent with the page's claim, so he is described as a probable Swamiji, giving the blessing.
