Two men face each other closely at what looks like a satsang setting. On the left, a man with short cropped hair wears a white kurta and a red-and-dark beaded mala, his palms raised toward the other man in a gesture of blessing or greeting. On the right, a man with long, wavy black hair and a bare-chested white shawl with gold-trimmed edges smiles toward him, with gold ornaments at his neck and shoulder. Behind them, a seated man in white and another in the background are partly visible.

Photograph of two men in a bright indoor hall facing each other at close range. On the left, a shaved-headed man in a white kurta wears a red-and-brown beaded mala and raises both palms outward in a greeting gesture. On the right, a long-haired man with a swept-back mane wears a white shawl over a bare shoulder and a gold-coloured garland, and smiles broadly. Behind them a seated man in white sits quietly, another man stands in white further back, and a brass lamp stand with a lit oil lamp is visible at the right edge. A dark stage backdrop frames the left side.

A photograph of two men facing each other in a warmly lit indoor hall, both smiling and raising their palms in an animated high-five-like gesture. The man on the left has a shaved head and wears a white kurta with a red and brown rudraksha mala. The man on the right has long, swept-back black hair, wears a white shawl over a bare shoulder and a gold necklace, and reaches toward the other man. Behind them a brass oil lamp with a flame stands at the right edge, and a seated man in white and two other people are partly visible in the background. A pale pink wall fills the backdrop. The right figure's cues match Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, gold ornamentation and white shawl, shown in person.

Two men face each other in a stage-like hall with raised hands in a gesture of greeting or blessing. On the left, a shaved-headed man in a plain white kurta with a red-and-white thread around his neck stands with palms up and open. On the right, a long-haired man with a bare chest and white shawl over his shoulder, wearing a gold-chained garland, raises his arms and smiles. Behind them, a seated man in white and another in grey watch, and a brass lamp stand with a tray is at the lower right.

Photograph of two men in a warm peach-toned room. On the right, a man with hair tied in a bun wears a white cloth draped over his shoulder, silver beaded bracelets on his wrists and a silver beaded necklace; he reaches forward with one hand to touch the forehead of a shaved-headed man on the left, who wears a white shirt and holds his hands raised near his head as if receiving blessing. A faint white marking is visible on the right man's forehead. Appearance-based candidate on the right, bun, white drape and silver beads, is uncertain, so a person is unsure.

A photograph of a ceremony in which a long-haired man with a beard, wearing a garland of pink roses and white flowers over a reddish-brown shawl, places his right hand on the forehead of a smiling shaved-headed man in white cloth with an orange border and a rudraksha mala. The smiling man raises his left hand in front. Other men in white dhotis with golden-yellow borders stand behind them, and a brass vessel is visible at lower left. The setting appears to be a temple or ritual hall. The long-haired man's clothing and garland are distinctive, but his identity is not established from appearance alone.

A photograph of two men facing each other in an indoor hall with a dark red curtain behind them. On the right, a man with long dark hair tied in a bun, wearing an orange shawl with a gold border over a bare upper body and a rudraksha mala, holds a small white cloth or paper and smiles. On the left, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala raises both palms toward him in a greeting or blessing gesture. Blurred people and a cameraman stand in the background.

A photograph of an indoor event with warm lighting and blurred background. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt with a red-orange shawl stands with his head bowed, while a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged cloth, long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala seated on a gold-coloured throne extends his right arm and palm to touch the forehead of the standing devotee. Behind them, a shaved-headed man in white with a tilak on his forehead and other attendees in the background are visible. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, giving a blessing through forehead touch.
