A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace reaches forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in respect. The seated figure has long dark hair tied back and gold earrings and is smiling. Behind them hang red and orange draped fabrics, with flowers at the upper left. Two more people are partly visible in the background, including a woman with a red bindi and a person at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) from the distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and ceremonial saffron-toned robes, shown giving a blessing to a devotee.

A photograph of two men in close physical contact indoors. The man on the left sits on a red cushion, bare-chested with a rust-red and gold shawl wrapped over his shoulder and a rudraksha-style cord at his waist, with long hair tied back and a yellow mark on his forehead; he presses both palms to the head of the man on the right. The man on the right is bald, wearing a white shirt and a beaded mala, bowing forward with eyes closed. A gold statue edge and red panel appear at the left edge.

A photograph of a satsang-style blessing on a stage. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron wrap and a rudraksha mala with a ceremonial beaded necklace, seated on a dark red throne with an orange cushion, reaches out and places his palm on the forehead of a standing devotee in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl draped over his shoulders, who bows with eyes closed and one arm raised. Behind them, other devotees in white and orange-red garments sit or stand, and a golden deity murti or ornament sits at the lower left corner. Probable Swamiji (probable) in the seated role, based on long swept-back hair, orange clothing and rudraksha mala. Clear physical people visible: about four or five.

A seated man in saffron and orange robes with a yellow inner garment and a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders sits on a plush maroon throne before a gold-embossed backdrop and deep red velvet drapes. He smiles and extends his right hand toward a short-haired young man in a white t-shirt and grey scarf, who raises his palm toward his forehead in a gesture of greeting or blessing. A shaven-headed person in orange sits in the foreground at lower left, and another man in white with a rudraksha mala watches at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure has long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala, and ceremonial saffron clothing, consistent with the page's attribution of his presence at this satsang event.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a beaded orange-and-brown necklace and a gold chain, reaches forward to touch the forehead of a standing older man in a white shirt with an orange-trimmed collar and a wristwatch, who raises both palms in front of him. Behind them a younger man in white with a gold-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala sits on the floor, and another man in white stands at the back. A window-unit air conditioner, red curtains and a red velvet-covered seat are visible. Swamiji (probable) is seated, with long hair, saffron robes and a beaded necklace, in the blessing gesture.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead and a red bindi, wears an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders and a long strand of rudraksha mala beads. He leans forward and extends his right hand to touch the crown of a clean-shaven-looking man with short dark hair and a beard, who wears a white collared shirt and kneels with bowed head. Behind them, red velvet drapes, a brass oil lamp and colourful flower garlands hang near a deity murti. The orange-clothed figure appears to be giving a blessing; the seated figure matches the appearance cues, so this is a probable in-person identification with the role of blessing giver. a person is shown giving a blessing to a devotee in a satsang-style setting.
