A photograph of a shaven-headed priest in saffron-orange silk wrap with a rudraksha mala and white tilak on his forehead placing his hand on the head of a young boy in a black t-shirt with an orange lanyard. The boy has his eyes closed and head bowed, and holds an orange-wrapped box with a small gold-edged paper item. Another man with white tilak sits blurred in the background, with a woman in pink in the far background.

A photograph of a bare-chested man in orange ochre cloth with a long rudraksha and silver bead mala and a gold pendant necklace, seated on a red cushion. He has hair tied in a bun, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a boy. The boy, in a turquoise t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, has his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered. Behind them a woman in an orange saree and another person in blue stand in a plain room. The man has distinctive long rudraksha and gold adornments and an orange wrap, consistent with the page reference to a person, so this is a probable identification of the seated man, who is blessing the boy.

A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border rests his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed boy in an orange sleeveless robe. The seated man, with long hair tied back, rudraksha mala beads and white vibhuti marks, smiles warmly. The boy wears a rudraksha mala, bangle and a white vibhuti mark, eyes closed, palms together in a respectful gesture. Gold ceremonial objects and a dark speaker stand in the background. This appears to be a blessing moment, with the seated man's appearance matching the page's Swamiji cues of long hair, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial setting (probable).

A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a sleeveless bare-shouldered drape and layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, wearing a white vertical tilak and red bindi on his forehead and gold-beaded armlets. He rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a navy t-shirt standing before him, a ritual blessing gesture. Behind him a golden throne with red upholstery; another figure in orange robes and an orange head covering stands behind, raising a hand. Red cushions and a tray of flower petals sit at the lower left, and a white-clad attendant is partly visible at the far left. Plain white wall and a wall vent in the background.

Indoor photo of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and an orange rudraksha-style beaded necklace reaching his right hand toward the forehead of a young boy in a black t-shirt with an orange lanyard, who has his eyes closed and palms pressed together. A seated man in white with brown beads and a gold-bordered cloth sits behind them, and a woman in white and beige sari stands in the background near a red curtain. The orange-robed man appears to be giving blessing, with the palm placed near the boy's forehead.

A photograph of a young boy in a white-and-navy striped polo shirt bowing his head forward while a man kneels and places his right hand on the boy's head. The man wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder, several rudraksha malas, a gold ceremonial necklace, a white vibhuti (sacred ash) mark on his forehead and a beaded armlet, and holds a small folded white cloth or packet in his left hand. Behind them a seated figure in an orange robe and orange turban sits before an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha), and a partially visible second figure in orange stands nearby. Three people are visible in total.

A smiling man with a short hair bun, a yellow-white tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala, and an orange-brown draped garment raises his right hand toward the head of a younger man in a white shirt and orange shawl, who has his hands raised in response. A blurred deity murti with red and gold tones sits at left against a plain pale wall. Two physical people are visible.

A seated man in a rust-brown robe with gold trim and a long brown mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in an orange sleeveless top with a red lanyard. The boy holds his left palm up in a gesture of receiving. Gold lion-head armrests and a dark chair frame the seated figure, with a large white screen behind. A man's shoulder is partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a blessing during an indoor satsang or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive long hair in a bun, brown robe and mala cues make Swamiji a probable candidate, shown in person giving a blessing.
