A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered cloth draped over his shoulder, wearing a rudraksha mala and a white vertical tilak on his forehead, reaches out to touch the head of a man in a white shirt and white trousers who has raised one arm. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and a smiling expression, holding a white beaded mala in his other hand. Behind them is a red draped curtain, with other seated people in white and orange clothing and a man with folded hands at left.

A photograph of a satsang where a man in orange sits on a cushioned seat before a red curtain, his right hand resting on the forehead of a seated devotee. The man in orange has long dark hair swept back, a white vertical tilak with a red bindi, a gold earring, a thick mala of rudraksha beads, and an orange draped shawl with a gold border. He is the presumed a person, giving a blessing. The devotee wears a white shirt and bows his head, while a man in white with a black rudraksha mala sits behind and a man in a black shirt is at the left edge. Four people are visible.

Indoor satsang scene with warm lighting and gold-toned ornate pillars. A man with long dark dreadlocks wears a rust-red shawl, a leopard-print garment, a dense rudraksha mala and yellow vibhuti or sandalwood markings on his forehead and arm; he smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white kurta with an orange-red cloth, whose hands are folded in anjali. Brass lamps and a metal stand stand nearby, and a second seated man in white is partly visible behind them.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a short beard, and a vertical tilak on his forehead sits smiling on a silver throne with an ornate silver backrest and a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders and long rudraksha mala necklaces. In the foreground a bare-chested man in a yellow-and-white cloth bends forward with rudraksha beads around his neck, and a silver offering tray with a small brass lamp sits nearby. A pink-sari woman stands at the left beside silver staff-like poles and red drapery.

A photograph of a seated figure with long, wavy dark hair and a rudraksha mala draped over a red-orange garment, smiling broadly while extending an arm upward to touch the raised hand of a shaven-headed man in a brown-grey robe with an orange lanyard. A red draped backdrop fills the background. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti and shawl with gold border sits and watches. A black staff leans at the left edge. The gesture appears to be a greeting or blessing exchange during a satsang setting.

A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and multiple rudraksha malas stands at centre, with a red bindi on his forehead and gold ornaments at his neck and ears, his right hand raised in blessing over the bowed head of an older devotee in white shirt and dhoti who kneels with folded hands and glasses. Other devotees in white and saffron stand behind, with saffron-hued cloth banners with tassels hanging above.

A photograph of a seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklaces, wearing an orange cloth with a leopard-print wrap, sitting before a red draped backdrop and a gold-decorated chair. The figure's palms are pressed together in namaskar as they smile toward an older bald man in a white shirt who bows low with his forehead near their hands. A shaved-headed man in saffron robes with rudraksha beads and a tilak sits at left, and a kalasha-like brass vessel and offering plates are visible near the floor. The setting resembles a satsang with the seated figure receiving respect. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, identified by the long hair, layered rudraksha malas, gold ornaments and orange clothing; the bowing man in white is a devotee.

Photograph of a bare-chested man in long dark hair and a beard, wearing an orange-brown shawl and a thick rudraksha mala, placing his right hand on the forehead of a seated man in a white kurta with an orange scarf. The seated man has his palms together in namaskar and a yellow tilak-like mark is visible on his forehead. Behind them, a smiling person in a red turban and white garland sits near a golden throne-like seat and gilded decorations. The setting suggests a blessing or puja moment in an ashram hall. Swamiji (probable): the standing man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and an orange shawl, consistent with a distinctive presentation, so the swamiji value is in_person.
