A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style orange-brown bead garland and a gold-yellow lower garment sits on a red cushioned seat, placing one palm on the forehead of a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and a wristwatch, who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Background shows a standing crowd in orange and white clothing, an air-conditioning unit and a window. The figure's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and beads is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated and blessing a devotee in an in-person satsang setting.

A seated man with long swept-back black hair, a white vibhuti line on his forehead with a red mark, wearing a white garment, a heavy gold necklace of beads and a gold armlet, sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion. He smiles and raises both hands toward a bald man kneeling before him in a white dhoti-style garment with a red cord around his neck, who holds his palms together. Behind them are garlands of orange, yellow and pink flowers and a lit brass oil lamp with a flame. The scene appears to be a blessing or greeting in a satsang setting.

A photograph taken indoors at a volunteers conference hall with warm lighting. In the centre, a long-haired person in a flowing orange-saffron robe sits on a cushioned chair and raises both hands to press fingers onto the forehead of a man with long dreadlocks wearing a white kurta and a beaded necklace. The recipient's eyes are closed and he leans forward. Behind them, a few people stand and sit in the room, one wearing an orange shawl, and colourful patterned pillars frame the background.

A photograph of an indoor satsang setting decorated with a red, pink and white floral arrangement in a clear glass vase and a banner reading Nithyananda at the top. A seated man with long dark hair wears a cream embroidered kurta, a red and white flower garland and a small red mark on his forehead; he smiles while touching the forehead of a standing man in a white t-shirt, who bends slightly toward him. Peacock feathers and blue and red drapes hang behind them, with string lights wrapped around a wooden pillar on the left. A silver tray with a red-bordered pink cloth sits in the foreground. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and cream ceremonial attire, so the appearance cues are consistent with a person giving blessing or diksha, though identity is uncertain.
