Photograph of a devotional greeting in a temple-style courtyard with red pillars and orange curtains. A man in a white t-shirt stands with palms pressed together, wearing a garland of marigold-like flowers with pink accents. Facing him, a man in saffron-orange robes with a red border and rudraksha beads on his arms and neck bows low with hands folded in namaskar. Behind them an attendant in white holds a garland and a red cloth, with a brass tray visible. Greenery is visible through a window at left.

A photograph of a ritual blessing in a temple courtyard. A man in orange sannyasi robes with a draped orange shawl and rudraksha malas on his arm places a garland of marigold and flower strands on the head of a bowing devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti. Another attendant in white holds a silver tray of flower garlands and petals behind them. Red pillars, an orange curtain and greenery frame the scene. The orange-robed man has a shaved head and no crown, long swept hair, or ornate gold ornaments visible, so his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.

A photograph of an indoor hall with a dark red curtain and a wall-mounted projector screen. A clean-shaven-headed man in a white shirt, with a bearded face and rudraksha mala, bows forward with hands clasped to his face while a man in a orange-saffron robe with a multicolour marigold, rose and leaf garland and a rudraksha mala places his hand on his head in blessing. The blessing figure has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, an orange-saffron robe and a cream shawl, and smiles. Behind them, other men in white and saffron-orange robes stand, and a bald monk in saffron with a red tilak holds a bowl. The event appears to be a padukas blessing at an ashram. Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and flower garland (probable).

A seated figure in an orange-brown saffron wrap with a gold-edged border and a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders and in the hair blesses a man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard, placing a palm on his forehead while he stands with eyes closed and hands pressed together. Behind them, an older man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border and rudraksha beads sits watching, and several people in white stand in the background near a window. Garlands of flowers and colourful decorations appear at the left edge. The seated figure has long hair and distinctive orange-saffron clothing with rudraksha adornments, a visible cue for the a person candidate in this blessing scene, though the appearance is only partially clear.

A photograph of a ceremony indoors in a warmly lit room. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange-red shawl with gold border over a bare shoulder and multiple rudraksha malas, presses his palm to the forehead of a shaved-head young man in a white t-shirt and orange shawl, who has his eyes closed and a hand raised palm-out. Rudraksha beads hang from the younger man's neck and wrist. Behind them a framed portrait and gold-accented decor are visible, with seated devotees in orange and white in the background. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment.

A young man in a white shirt with a black and red backpack stands with palms pressed together in namaste while receiving a blessing from a young priest in orange robes and rudraksha malas. The priest, bare-chested with a white tilak on his forehead, holds a golden plate raised over the man's head. A second orange-robed attendant stands behind holding a small vessel. Behind them is an ornate gold-toned shrine with carved pillars and deity figures, and a saffron cloth hangs nearby.
