A photograph of an orange-robed figure seated on a golden-backed throne before a deep red draped curtain. The seated figure has a white tilak and red bindi on the forehead, wears layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, and holds a palm raised toward a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl who leans forward with hands joined in reverence. A red box with small items sits near the seated figure, and a second orange-robed person is partly visible behind. The seated figure appears to be a person, identified by the saffron and ornate clothing, rudraksha malas and gold necklace, with the seated role consistent with a throne. A man in white with an orange shawl is a devotee receiving blessing. Two physical people are clearly visible, with a third partly seen.

A figure in a rust-orange wrap with a gold ceremonial necklace and layered white, yellow and red garlands stands at right, one hand resting on the head of a seated man in a blue-and-white checked shirt at left, while holding a folded white paper in the other hand. The figure wears gold bangles and has long swept-back dark hair and gold earrings, and gives a blessing. Behind them, a man in white with a red shawl and other devotees stand in a hall with a gold-and-red ornate display at the right edge. The appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a person presenting a blessing, with a devotee receiving it.

A photograph of a man in a white shirt with long hair tied back in a ponytail, hands pressed together in namaste, receiving a blessing. A smiling man in an orange saffron robe and a long gold bead necklace, with a white sacred mark on his forehead, reaches out and touches the devotee's forehead, holding a small white paper or cloth in his other hand. Behind them is an ornate gold throne with cushions and a large floral garland of yellow, orange and red flowers. A golden figure is partly visible in the background. Two people are visible in the scene. The orange-robed figure is shown in an appearance-based role of the honoured teacher, a person candidate based on the saffron robe, gold beaded mala and ceremonial throne setting.

A photograph of a devotional darshan. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and bare shoulder sits on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carved back, holding a small white packet and a tray of offerings. A bald older man in an orange kurta with white shawl stands with palms pressed together and bows his head while another person's hand rests on his forehead in blessing. A woman in a patterned sari with a name badge stands at left, and another figure in orange stands behind. A black board with white writing hangs on the wall behind them.

A photograph of a satsang setting where a bare-shouldered figure in saffron-orange cloth sits on a red cushioned seat, draped with a pink and white flower garland and a multi-strand gold and blue garland. He wears brown-red rudraksha bracelets and a gold ceremonial necklace, and his long dark hair is swept back. He places his right hand on the head of a seated man in a white shirt with a red-brown beaded mala who bows his head forward with hands folded. Behind them are a golden pillar, orange drapes, flower decorations and a second person in orange at the left edge. Copyright text overlays the lower right corner.

A photograph of a satsang-style ritual indoors. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown sleeveless garment, a large gold necklace of beads, and a multicoloured pink, teal and yellow flower garland, sits on a red cushioned seat and holds a small white paper while placing his right palm on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a black beaded necklace. The recipient has his eyes closed and a gold bangle on his wrist. Behind them, an orange cloth, a golden pillar, a red box with offerings and a garland of yellow and red flowers frame the scene. A partly visible person in orange stands at the side.
