A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace, smiling as he places his hands on the head of a man in white clothes who kneels with his head bowed on a patterned rug. Several people sit in white at the left edge with palms pressed together. On the right, a brass tray holds oranges and a small pile of coloured powder, and a person in orange stands beside it. A framed portrait on the upper left shows a saffron-clad figure seated, and a red umbrella leans against a stand. The setting is a plain concrete-floored hall with a glass display cabinet.

A seated figure in orange robes with a yellow and red flower garland and long dark hair sits in a cushioned chair, bare-shouldered, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee with folded palms. The devotee wears a cream textured kurta. A standing man in white with an orange shawl watches nearby. In front, a tray holds rudraksha malas, yellow powder, small packets, and a blue basket holds fruit; a staff leans against the chair. Blue netting hangs at the left and a red-walled room with windows forms the background. a person is seated in the chair, identified by the long swept hair, orange robes and garland, presented as the one giving blessing.

A photograph of a ritual blessing in an indoor hall. A long-haired woman in an orange-brown garment with an orange rudraksha-style bead garland lays her right hand on the head of a young man in a white t-shirt with a blue lanyard badge, who bows forward. Beside them a person in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace stands, and a shirtless man with a white bandage on his forehead is behind. A blurred orange-rimmed basin sits at lower left, and a white air-conditioning unit is on the left wall. Several other people are visible in the background. Cues for the figure in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala are present, but his face is partly turned and the image does not clearly establish him as a person, so the identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a darshan moment. A woman with long dark hair decorated with a string of yellow flowers, wearing an orange sari, sits turned to the side and smiles while placing her right hand on the head of a seated man in a light blue shirt who bows forward. Behind her, a figure in a white robe with a red border stands, and another person in white clothing is partly visible at the upper right against a red curtain.

A seated man in an orange saffron wrap, bare-chested on one side, with long dark swept-back hair, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling young man in a beige collared shirt and dark trousers with a black belt. The young man's hands are pressed together in prayer. A standing attendant in a white kurta with an orange shawl is partly visible at the right edge. In front of the seated man are a yellow and orange marigold garland, a wooden walking stick, a tray with small cards and a pouch, rudraksha-style beads and printed booklets on a white cushioned seat, on a tiled floor with a red cloth.

A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and an orange sleeveless wrap on his bare shoulders sits on an orange cushioned seat in front of brass vessels, a brass bowl with petals, and red cloth at a temple shrine. He holds the hands of a devotee in a striped dark collared shirt who leans in close, and another person's head appears at the lower right.

A photograph in a plain room with white walls, blue carpet and red-cushioned chairs. A woman with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron-coloured sari over a red blouse and a rudraksha mala, stands bent forward with her hand on the shoulder of a man in white kurta and dhoti who kneels and bows at her feet, a gold-bordered cloth beneath them. Behind them a man in orange robes and a wristwatch stands near a table draped in white, holding books, a brass kalasha-style vessel, water bottles and a stack of printed books. Sunlight filters through beige curtains on the right. Ritual padapuja-style reverence is shown; an orange-robed attendant and visible books suggest a satsang or organiser setting.
