Indoor hall event with a man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, long swept-back hair, wire-rimmed glasses, a multi-strand rudraksha and gold bead necklace, and bangles, smiling as he places his hand on the forehead of a bowing man in a lavender shirt. The bowing man has his palms joined. Around them, devotees in white shirts and white dhotis stand along a walkway, one with tripundra markings, and an older man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at left. Behind them is a decorated altar with lit lamps, colourful striped pillars and draped white and maroon cloth, with a projection screen above.

A photograph at night of a man in an orange turban and orange robe with long dark hair placing his right hand on the forehead of a man in glasses and a striped collared shirt, whose palms are pressed together in greeting. Behind them, several men in white and orange shawls stand among orange-draped figures, and a white-haired woman in the foreground is seen from behind. The turbaned figure, with his long hair and saffron clothing, is a probable Swamiji candidate in a blessing gesture; the appearance cues are reasonably distinctive. Background includes orange floral decorations and a crowd.

Another man with glasses and a white tilak stands behind, and a robed priest in white is visible at the right. Ornate cream pillars, gold and blue decorations and a golden seat are in the background. A candidate matching a person is present through the saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and jasmine garlands, receiving the blessing of the elder.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange sleeveless robe and a yellow-and-green flower garland, with long dark hair swept back, placing a hand on the head of a man in white shirt and white dhoti who bends forward with eyeglasses and a rudraksha mala. A woman in a green sari stands behind, and an elderly woman in glasses and a red bindi watches. Red bowls of fruit sit on a white table, and a patterned red-and-blue carpet covers the floor. The seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and a flower garland, while the blessing act is the visible action.

A photograph of an indoor blessing moment. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark swept-back hair leans forward and holds the hands of a standing man in a light blue-white shirt and dark trousers, who bows his head. A bald man in white robes with an orange-red shawl stands behind and places his hand on the seated figure's head-blessing gesture area. A woman with a braid in a white top and beaded bangles sits at left, and a man in a yellow garment stands behind. Background shows fans and a draped cloth. Appearance is consistent with the a person description; the seated figure carries orange clothing and long hair cues, but the page states no a person presence, so identity is uncertain.
