A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and a long orange-beaded mala with gold bead ornaments, bare-shouldered and with shoulder-length dark hair, placing his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt during an indoor gathering. Other men stand behind, one in a white shirt and another with a red tilak, and a man in a striped shirt is at the left edge. Behind them hang orange and blue striped fabric decorations under a dark tent-like ceiling. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long hair and rudraksha-style orange beads, so this is a person in the centre, blessing a devotee in person.

In the foreground, a man in a red-orange saffron robe with ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha bracelets smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a young man in a white shirt who bows with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside them, a man in white shirt and a man in a blue-green polo stand with hands folded in prayer. Behind them, more devotees, several in white clothing, stand along a metal barrier. A person in saffron-orange robe with a tilaka-marked forehead and ornate necklace appears to be the central figure, with long swept-back hair and a crown-like headpiece, a person by visible adornments and robe, though the image does not confirm identity. A screen with a portrait is visible at the top.2013-02-03April 14 20132013-04-14A figure in a rust-orange wrap with a gold ceremonial necklace and layered white, yellow and red garlands stands at right, one hand resting on the head of a seated man in a blue-and-white checked shirt at left, while holding a folded white paper in the other hand. The figure wears gold bangles and has long swept-back dark hair and gold earrings, and gives a blessing. Behind them, a man in white with a red shawl and other devotees stand in a hall with a gold-and-red ornate display at the right edge. The appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a person presenting a blessing, with a devotee receiving it.2013-07-21A photograph of an outdoor darshan at a temple-like setting under a tarpaulin canopy.
