A photograph of a seated figure in an orange and gold saffron-style garment with a gold trim, wearing a heavy gold and rudraksha-style necklace, with long dark hair tied back. The figure rests one hand on the forehead of a bald man in a white jacket with an orange scarf printed with text, who has his eyes closed and raises a palm in front of him. The setting shows a red cushioned seat, a golden throne-like backdrop, and a decorated wall. a person (appearance-based label) gives a blessing to a devotee, consistent with a satsang blessing scene.

A photograph of an initiation moment during an indoor event under purple stage lighting. A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a bare upper torso and a rust-orange shawl sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate silver throne. He extends his right hand to rest on the head of a seated older man with short white hair, who wears a red-and-white beaded necklace and a white and yellow cloth over his shoulder, and who raises his hand in reverence. Behind them a woman in an orange-red sari stands with her hair in a long braid, and another person in white is partly visible at the right edge.

A man with long dark hair swept back and a red hair ornament sits on a golden throne with a carved golden lion's head and a golden cobra-hooded staff beside him. He wears a saffron-orange wrap, a gold necklace of beads and a bare shoulder, smiling as he places his right hand on the crown of a young girl's head. She has long dark hair and wears a white top, her palms pressed together in reverence. Red drapes and a silver staff with a finial stand behind them. The man is described as a person based on the hair, saffron wrap, gold necklace and throne cues.

Photograph of a seated man in rust-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, his bare right arm extended to bless a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl who bows with hands raised. A silver trident stands between them, and a golden lion figure and peacock feathers appear beside a red-cushioned throne, with bamboo and green foliage behind. a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the blessing figure is described by role.

A seated man in red-orange robes with a rudraksha-style dark bead mala and a pink flower garland touches the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in respect. A silver trident stands beside them, a peacock-feather fan rests on the left, and a gold lion-shaped figure sits in the foreground. A woman in a purple sari with a name tag stands at the right, and a framed artwork hangs on the wall. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands, while giving a blessing.

A seated man in saffron-red robes and a pink flower garland, with white tilak on his forehead, touches a stick-like ceremonial staff to the forehead of a young man in a white kurta and red shawl.

Behind them stands a woman in an orange-red sari and another in white, with a gilded lion-faced throne arm and pink flower petals in the foreground. a person with a pink garland and saffron robe is giving a blessing to the kneeling devotee. A floral and gilded setting suggests a satsang or initiation-style blessing.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-red shawl and bare-chested seated on an ornate golden throne, touching the forehead of a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti and shawl. The seated man has long, swept-back dreadlocked hair, white vertical forehead marks and a red wrist thread. The recipient's head is bowed forward with his hand raised. Carved golden wooden lattice panels form the background. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and a shawl, and the page indicates Swamiji was present, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in an in-person ceremonial setting, with a devotee receiving the blessing.

A seated long-haired figure in a rust-orange robe and rudraksha-style beaded mala reaches out to place a palm on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a red-and-white printed shawl, hands pressed together in namaste. Behind them, deity murti are draped in gold and yellow garlands and ornate red-and-gold cloth, with green foliage and a gold-embossed throne panel at left. The seated figure's appearance (long swept hair, saffron robe, beaded mala) matches the page's indication that a person was present, so this is a person blessing a devotee. Two people are visible, the blessing figure and the kneeling devotee.
