A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe sits on a red velvet cushion and places his right hand on the forehead of a bearded man in a white shirt with a red and beaded necklace. Behind them a brass oil lamp with lit flames stands on the left, and a pair of microphones sits on a table. The setting is an indoor room with pale walls and a glass door. Swamiji (probable): the robed man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's description of Swamiji at this satsang.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark shoulder-length hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange saffron garment with a brown bead-like adornment at the neck, placing his hands on the head of a second man seen from behind in a white collared shirt. The seated figure sits before an ornate gold-framed throne against a deep red backdrop. Two people are visible, though the appearance cues for the seated man are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.

A photograph of two men seated on a white sofa before a deep red velvet curtain. On the right, a long-haired man wears an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala draped over his chest, a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, and gazes to the side. His hand rests on the head of the man on the left, who wears a white dhoti and shirt with a gold border, a gold wristwatch, and has his palm raised toward the figure on the right in a gesture of reverence. The setting appears to be a formal satsang or discourse hall.

A photograph of a healing or blessing moment. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a red tilak on his forehead smiles broadly while placing both hands on the head of a shaved-headed man in a white shirt wearing a dark rudraksha-style mala. Behind them is a red satin cloth and a woven bamboo-patterned backdrop. A bald man in white stands partially visible at the left edge. The seated man in orange appears to be the probable Swamiji by appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a shawl draped over bare shoulders, shown in an in-person healing setting.

Indoor photo before a deep red velvet curtain. A seated man in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala draped down the front and a red bindi on his forehead sits on a white cushioned seat, long dark swept-back hair framing his face. A man in a white collared shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at left, leaning in and placing his hand on the seated man's head in blessing. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala cues, consistent with the page's claim.

A photograph of a healing moment during a seated session. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron wrap and a small red tilak on his forehead sits on a red cushioned seat, leaning forward with both hands placed on the shoulders of a bald, bearded man in a white shirt with a black beaded mala around his neck. Behind them is a woven straw-like wall and a red fabric backdrop. A probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron wrap, bare shoulder) is shown in the healer role, with the recipient receiving a blessing.

A seated figure in an orange-saffron shawl over a bare shoulder, wearing a long rudraksha mala of orange-brown beads, with long swept-back dark hair, raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a younger man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard. The seated figure rests on a red velvet armchair in front of a red curtain, and a towel lies draped over the chair arm. Another man with a shaved head and white forehead markings sits partly visible at the right edge. The gesture appears to be a blessing or forehead touch during a seated session. Appearance-based cues (long hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha mala) suggest a person seated in the chair, though identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair, placing one hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, and a second saffron-robed attendant with long hair stands at left. A red-and-ochre temple pillar backdrop and a green tree photo mural fill the background. a person (in person) is giving blessings to a devotee, with a visible red thread or string in the devotee's hands.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on the forehead, sitting on a red and black tiger-striped throne-like seat in front of an ornate gold backdrop with a deity relief. A kneeling man in a white shirt bows forward, his hand touching the seated figure's cheek, while a saffron-robed attendant stands at the left beside a floral arrangement of yellow marigolds, red flowers and purple orchids. The seated figure with those saffron robes, long hair and distinctive ornaments matches the presentation of the a person candidate, but the appearance is not clearly established from this view, so this is marked as unsure.

A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with long, swept-back dark hair touches the forehead of a man in white kurta and white shirt with long dark hair, who has his eyes closed. The seated figure sits on a red cushioned throne-like seat beside an ornate gold chair and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame. Microphones sit in the foreground, and a camera operator and seated devotees appear in the background. Cues such as the orange robe, long swept-back hair and seated position support a probable Swamiji identification, presented here only as an appearance-based label. The white-clad recipient has a blue lanyard around his neck. The setting is a hall with a beige wall and a dark curtain at left.
