Probable Swamiji, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, wears an orange saffron robe, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold necklace and orange-red beaded armbands, and places his hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows with palms pressed together. A shaved-headed priest in orange with a gold chain and white tripundra marks on his forehead stands at right. Around them, several men in white shirts stand with hands folded in a hall with pink and purple banner backdrop and ceiling lights. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment during a satsang gathering.

A photograph of a blessing at an indoor hall with pink walls and decorated pillars. A man with long swept-back black hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, red and gold garlands and a rudraksha mala, places his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows with hands folded. Nearby a bald attendant in orange holds a silver tray with gold-coloured items. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around, some with hands joined in prayer. Swamiji (probable): the robed man with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala is the blessing giver.

Indoor photo of a long-haired man in a red and orange dhoti-style wrap, gold chain necklaces, multiple beaded bangles and a red bindi, bare-chested, lowering his right palm onto the head of a devotee who bows with hands pressed together. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a saffron-red wrap, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. Around him, a bespectacled saffron-robed sannyasi with tripundra marks and a white-clad elderly man with folded hands watch, while other devotees stand in the background of a hall with ceiling lights and a projection screen.

A man in an orange-red dhoti-style wrap with a decorative border and a long gold bead necklace of large golden rudraksha-style beads stands at right, long dark hair swept back, a small vertical mark on his forehead, one hand resting on the head of a kneeling devotee. The kneeling man in white with folded hands and bowed head receives the blessing. Behind them a man in white clothes watches, and a bald man in white with a white forehead mark stands at far right. Background shows a light wall, a yellow-orange cloth hanging and a white screen. Looks like a blessing moment during a satsang or darshan.

A photograph of an indoor devotional gathering. A man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange saffron shawl and draped orange garment, multiple rudraksha malas and a rudraksha bracelet, smiles while placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. Several robed attendants in white and orange stand around, a cameraman holding a camera raises it at left, and devotees and framed portraits line the hall. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, matching the page's a person reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance, not a confirmed one.
