A photograph of a man in an orange sleeveless top with long dark hair pressing his right hand on the head of a balding, moustached man in a white shirt who bows forward. A woman in a pink top with a red bindi stands behind them watching, and people in cream and yellow garments stand in the background beside a red-and-white painted wall.

A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with long, wavy dark hair places his right palm on the forehead of an older man kneeling before him. The older man wears a white shirt and a dark rudraksha-style mala, with his palms joined in anjali mudra. Behind them, people in white dhotis and orange or yellow shawls stand near a table holding brass vessels. An orange cloth covers the floor, and a red border runs along the wall. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in an orange shawl and white flower garland leaning forward to touch the forehead of an older man with grey hair and a white moustache, who has his hands pressed together in respect. Behind them a man in white kurta and orange shawl stands close, and a bright window and red wall form the background.

A photograph of a blessing moment indoors against a plain white wall with a ceiling fan at the top. A person in an orange saffron garment and a bare shoulder, hair in a bun, wearing copper-coloured bangles, stands behind a older man in glasses and a white short-sleeved shirt, placing a hand on his forehead. The man stands with hands together near his waist. Behind them a seated man in white with a rudraksha mala and a shaved-head priest in orange stand near; to the right a woman in a white sari with a grey blouse watches. The swami figure's identity is only an appearance-based guess, so this is a probable depiction of a blessing scene with the orange-clad person giving a forehead blessing to a devotee.

A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange sleeveless garment with long wavy black hair reaching toward a younger man in a white collarless shirt with gold bangles. The orange-clad man touches a small gold object to the forehead of the white-shirted man, who has his eyes closed. Behind them a seated man in orange and a woman in white watch, with a dark blue curtain and a metal lamp stand with ornate brass figures at the upper right. The setting suggests a blessing exchange, with the orange-clad figure a person by appearance, though this is uncertain from the image alone.

Photograph of an indoor event. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange shawl, with a red mark on the forehead and a bare chest, reaches out with both hands to touch the head and face of a seated middle-aged man with greying hair, who wears a white collared shirt and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace. Behind them hang a red curtain, a red and gold throne-like chair, a colourful banner with red and blue motifs, and a white fan. A second man in an orange shawl is partly visible at the left edge. Appearance-based cues including the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and bare-chested adornments suggest a probable Swamiji (probable) in the blessing role.
