A photograph of a devotional blessing in an indoor hall with a light-coloured wall and a projection screen behind. A smiling figure in saffron-orange turban, orange shawl and a long ornate gold bead necklace raises a hand in blessing toward a young man in a pink shirt who bows with hands joined. Gold bangles adorn the blessing hand. On the right, a shaven-headed monk in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands near a tray of fruit and brass items. Other people in white clothes press palms together at the left edge, and several more stand in the background.

Indoor photograph at a gathering in a hall with bright ceiling lights and a plain wall behind. A man in an ornate red and gold turban with a peacock-feather ornament and red tilak, wearing an orange saffron robe, red-and-gold beaded garland and orange bangles, raises his right hand in blessing while smiling. He appears to be a probable Swamiji, given the distinctive turban and saffron robe with ornate beaded adornments, though his face is not clearly shown. Beside him an orange-robed bald man wearing glasses stands at the right edge. At left, a young man in a white shirt bows with palms pressed together, and other devotees with folded hands and folded hands stand behind him, several in white and blue shirts.

A photograph of a devotional gathering in an indoor hall with warm ceiling lights. A central figure in an orange saffron turban decorated with a white jewel brooch and gold ornaments, an orange shawl draped over the shoulders, and a long gold-beaded necklace with a pendant smiles while touching the forehead of a kneeling devotee in white clothes with folded hands. Around him, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with white ash markings on the forehead stands to the right, and other devotees in white and light clothing stand with palms pressed together. The figure's appearance with the orange turban, saffron robes and ornate gold necklaces is a probable Swamiji cue, shown in a ritual blessing setting.

A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange turban and orange-gold silk garment with long rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, extending his right hand to touch the forehead of a bearded man in an orange shirt who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Around them devotees in green and orange clothing stand with hands folded, and a bald man in orange with a tilak is visible at right. The turbaned man smiles as he blesses the devotee. Background shows a red-and-yellow patterned wall hanging and a dark curtain. Swamiji (probable): the turbaned man wears a saffron turban, layered rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, consistent with the page's account of a blessing during a temple darshan event.

Photograph of a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi and a jewelled ornament, wearing saffron robes, a long rudraksha mala, a gold pendant and bracelets, placing his hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in white clothes with palms pressed together. Another devotee in white and an orange-scarfed figure stand nearby with hands folded in prayer, a bald attendant in orange robes is at the right edge, and several onlookers stand in the background of a hall with maroon curtains. The saffron-robed man is a person and appears to be bestowing a blessing on the devotee.

A photograph of a figure in a saffron-orange turban and matching orange shawl, with a red bindi and layered gold necklaces and gold bangles, extending a hand over the head of a man in a white shirt during a blessing. The figure has a swept-back, long-haired appearance and a gold ornamental necklace; the hand gesture suggests a blessing or darshan. Other devotees stand nearby, including a man in a purple shirt with folded hands and a man with a white tilak on his forehead. A bald man in the lower left and a man with glasses are visible. The indoor hall has ceiling lights and a bright screen behind. The identity of the central figure is uncertain from appearance alone.

A photograph in an indoor hall with a large screen behind. A man in an orange turban with an orange shawl, gold-coloured ornaments and beaded necklaces raises his hand in blessing toward a line of people with palms pressed together in namaste. Several young men in white and light clothing, one in a turquoise t-shirt, stand with heads bowed. A bald man in white ritual cloth stands at right beside a tray of offerings. The orange-turbaned figure has long swept-back hair and ornate orange clothing with rudraksha-style beads, so the appearance-based label applies: a person, shown in person giving blessings to devotees.

Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), shown in person in the turban and maroon robe with rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, blessing a devotee.
