A man in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck places both hands on the head of a boy in a blue t-shirt, pressing a pink-and-gold kalasha-like vessel down onto the boy's head as a blessing. Beside them a girl in a pink top with a mala stands with a similar pot. A smiling man in white with a red-orange shawl kneels with palms joined on the right. Behind them women in white and orange-trimmed clothes stand near red curtains, and a girl with long dark hair in a plaid top watches at the right. The setting resembles an ashram hall with a stage lighting rig and floral decorations at the left.

The seated figure's distinctive long hair, rust-orange robe, red beaded garland and ornate gold-banded necklace suggest a probable Swamiji (probable) giving a blessing, a blessing-touch gesture typical of satsang darshan. Behind them, devotees in orange and white attire, some holding brass plates, stand in a hall, and a woman in white on the right raises her hands. The scene reads as a satsang blessing.2013-05-28A photograph of a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes and a red and white flower garland seated on a red cushioned chair, raising a round pink-and-gold kalasha pot high above a young boy's head in a ritual blessing. The boy wears a striped yellow, pink and white t-shirt and a dark beaded mala. Behind them, a woman in a green sari, another woman in red and orange, a woman carrying a child and a woman in a red kurta watch. Swamiji appearance is a probable candidate based on long hair, saffron robes and garland cues, seated in the ceremonial blessing role.2013-05-28A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and dhoti, with a white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala across his chest, rests his right hand on the head of a boy in a pink striped shirt who leans forward. A young man in white with glasses kneels in front, and behind them a woman in a magenta sari and a girl in red with a long braid stand watching; another woman in a peach sari sits in the background beside a red cushion. Ornate deity figures and brass items are visible at the left edge. The scene looks like a darshan blessing in a temple or ashram room.2012-10-13May 28 20132013-05-28May 28 20132013-05-28May 13 20132013-05-13A seated man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered in a rust-orange wrap, places a pink and gold turban on a young boy's head in a bright room with a wall air conditioner and an oscillating fan. The man wears a red and gold flower garland, gold bangles and a red tilak. The boy wears a white kurta and a small chain.
