A photograph of a woman in a yellow and black tiger-striped sleeveless top and dark hair in a bun pressing her palm onto the forehead of an older man with short white hair. He wears a white t-shirt, a red and white beaded lanyard with a rudraksha-style mala, and a gold bracelet, and holds his hands up in a palm-out gesture. In the foreground a second woman's hand holds a small white card. Behind them, a seated woman in white and an exit sign are visible on a beige wall.

A photograph in red and green stage-like lighting shows two men in close contact. On the left, a man with long dark swept-back hair and a dark sleeveless top presses both palms against the forehead of an older bald man in white clothes, an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style mala, who stands with eyes lowered and hands raised near his ears. A blurred figure in orange cloth sits in the background beside a doorway. No readable name or caption is visible in the frame.

A photograph of two people in close, intimate contact, the woman on the left with long dark curly hair, smiling, a white vertical tilak on her forehead, wearing a leopard-print sleeveless top and a necklace of skull beads and rudraksha-like brown beads. She extends her arm and palm toward a man on the right, whose head is bowed and whose hands are raised, palms pressed together, touching her hand at his forehead. He wears a white kurta with a saffron-orange lanyard around his neck and a metal bracelet on his wrist. A dark curtain hangs behind them and a plain pale wall lies to the right. Their gesture resembles a blessing or transmission exchange.

A photograph of a satsang-style blessing. A man in a plain white kurta, with grey hair and a receding hairline, stands with his head tilted up while a bare-shouldered man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala with skull-shaped beads, a gold pendant necklace and a leopard-print shawl over orange-red cloth, presses his palms against the older man's forehead and smiles. To the left, a third man partly visible wears a red bindi, rudraksha beads and white cloth. Red curtains and a teal wall form the backdrop, with a wooden stand at the right edge.

A photograph of a long-haired figure with dark swept-back hair, a rudraksha-bead garland, gold bangles and an orange-red wrap over a leopard-print skirt, pressing a palm to the forehead of a bald man in a white shirt whose hands are raised to his head. Behind them a priest in white dhoti with a white forehead band and rudraksha mala looks down. On the right, several people in white clothing stand watching in a bright hall with plants and a window. The a person cues are the long hair, rudraksha garland and orange wrap; the blessing gesture suggests a darshan or blessing moment.

A photo of a bare-shouldered figure in a striped tiger-print wrap and long rudraksha beads placing a hand on the forehead of a short-haired, grey-haired man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard and rudraksha mala. The man's palms are raised in front of him as he bows his head. A silver trident stands in the background beside a wooden lectern and a row of green-topped items. The figure's features and hair are not clear enough to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain and the role is given as a person giving a blessing.

A photograph of a blessing moment indoors. A woman with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange wrap that bares one shoulder, stands in front of a man in a white polo shirt with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a white name badge. She presses her palm to his forehead while raising her other hand, and he raises his right arm high. Behind them a seated person in white and another man in white stand near a red curtain, with a standing figure in a white shirt in the background, and a framed picture on the wall at right. A brass vessel and yellow cloth sit at the left edge. The setting resembles a satsang or blessing gathering.
