A photograph of a seated figure with swept-back dark hair, gold hoop earrings, a rudraksha mala and an orange saffron shawl placing a hand on the forehead of a young man in a yellow polo shirt, eyes closed. Behind them a blurred man in white with a shaved head and tilak sits near a red cloth backdrop, with a wall air conditioner visible at right and haze in the air. The seated figure's distinctive hair, earrings, mala and saffron garment are cues consistent with a person, seen in the blessing role, though the face is not clearly distinct enough to be certain.

July 07 20122012-07-07A seated man in an orange saffron wrap and a long rudraksha mala is placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a yellow polo shirt, who holds his palm up in front of his face. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair and wears earrings and white markings on his forehead, and he holds a small white card or packet in his left hand. Behind them hang red draped cloth and a large portrait with a partially visible face. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment during an indoor satsang session. Two other people are partly visible in the background, one in white and one in orange. The seated man has distinctive long hair, orange clothing and a rudraksha mala, so this is an appearance-based probable match for a person in person, but identity remains uncertain.2012-07-05July 07 20122012-07-07A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron shawl draped over a bare upper body, wearing a thick rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace, placing his right palm on the forehead of a young man in a blue t-shirt who stands with his eyes closed and his hands raised in front of him. A blurred man in a white shirt sits at left, and a white statue figure appears in the background before a red draped cloth.

A red velvet chair and a cream towel rest beside the teacher. Behind them, a seated man in white dhoti-style cloth with a white vertical forehead mark and a green-bordered cloth sits in the background, and white air coolers and a window appear in the room.
