A photograph of a man in a white dhoti and white shirt seated with his head bowed forward, his eyes closed. Two hands from a person in orange or saffron clothing press fingers to his forehead between the brows, a gesture of initiation or energy transmission. Behind him are blurred offerings of red fruit on a tray and a small golden object at the left edge. The setting appears to be a satsang or initiation session.

A close photo of a man with closed eyes seated and receiving a blessing: a hand rests on his forehead from the right. He wears a white collared shirt, a rudraksha mala hangs at his neck, and he appears damp with water on his face. Behind him, out of focus, are strings of orange and red beads and an orange cloth. A second person is partly visible at the left edge.
