A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange and gold-bordered robes with a gold chain of beads around his neck, wearing a white vertical tilak on his forehead. He is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a small child in a green and blue striped sweater. A second child, a girl in a green and blue striped top, leans against the boy from the side. Behind them is a large golden kalasha-like vessel and red cushioned seating in a warmly lit room. The page suggests this is a person, but the appearance cues are not sufficient to confirm identity, so this is recorded as unsure.

A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and dhoti, with a white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala across his chest, rests his right hand on the head of a boy in a pink striped shirt who leans forward. A young man in white with glasses kneels in front, and behind them a woman in a magenta sari and a girl in red with a long braid stand watching; another woman in a peach sari sits in the background beside a red cushion. Ornate deity figures and brass items are visible at the left edge. The scene looks like a darshan blessing in a temple or ashram room.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron draped garment with long dark hair pinned with rudraksha beads, reaching forward to touch the head of a small child. A smiling man in a light blue collared shirt kneels beside the child, who has both hands raised and palms open. The figure holds a folded white cloth in one hand, and a red-and-orange cloth lies across the lap. A woman in a red outfit stands in the background against a red curtain, with a glass railing and white cloth-covered table behind. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment within a satsang hall.

A photograph of a satsang or initiation moment indoors in a gold-ornate hall with a lattice-patterned gold wall behind. A seated man in a red-orange turban, orange-and-gold draped robe, and layered beaded and gold necklaces extends his right hand toward a young boy's head. The boy wears a bright yellow polo shirt with a name badge. Beside them a woman in white with a white shawl, rudraksha mala, and a forehead mark watches. A child in a blue t-shirt stands in the background, and a gold ornamental vessel sits near the seated man on a red cushion. a person cues are the orange-red turban, ornate beads and robe; the seated figure is an appearance-based candidate and the page does not place him at this event, so the identity is uncertain.

A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a saffron-orange dhoti with a rust-orange shawl and a multi-strand orange rudraksha mala with ornate gold beads, places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in an orange t-shirt and black shorts. A woman in orange robes stands behind the boy, holding him. The seated man has a white forehead mark and holds an open book on his lap. Behind them is a red velvet chair, a golden throne backrest with floral garlands in red, yellow and purple, a striped cream-and-red wall hanging, and a gold deity murti in the lower left. A red box with a small offering sits nearby.

He reaches to a young boy's forehead while holding small offering items in his other hand. The boy wears a white shirt, red-and-orange shawl and a lanyard, and stands with his head bowed. Behind them are a green silk drape, silver ceremonial staffs and axes, a gold-ornamented canopy and a large gold kalasha-style vessel in the foreground. The setting resembles a samaya deeksha initiation ceremony.
