A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest and multiple rudraksha bracelets on his wrists, seated and smiling broadly while extending both hands outward toward a man in a white kurta who stands before him with his palms pressed to the top of the seated man's head. A small red bindi is on the seated man's forehead. Behind them a blurred woman in orange sits, and a patterned cushion appears at the right edge. The seated man in orange and rudraksha has long swept-back hair, a bare-chested orange wrap and ornate gold-edged saffron cloth, matching a probable Swamiji depiction of an in-person figure; the standing devotee in white is performing a blessing gesture.

A photograph of two men face to face in close interaction indoors against a pale peach wall. On the right, a man with hair tied in a bun wears an orange saffron cloth draped over an orange sleeveless top and a long multi-strand rudraksha mala; he smiles and leans toward the other. On the left, a man in a white t-shirt with a dark lanyard lifts both hands, palms toward the orange-clad man's face, in a gesture of blessing or touch. Gold bangles are visible on his wrist. A seated man in a white shirt, partly visible at lower left, watches. The background shows blurred white-clad figures and a white appliance. The orange-clad man has distinctive saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's a person reference; the appearance cues are reasonably clear.

A bare-shouldered man in an orange-saffron garment with a light-coloured necklace of silver beads and a gold earring stands on the right, one hand raised to the forehead of a older balding man in white clothes with a dark rudraksha-style mala, who leans in with eyes closed. Behind them a man in orange robes and a younger person watch. A red curtain hangs behind, with a white air cooler at the upper right. a person: the orange-clad man on the right has long swept-back hair, a bare shoulder and orange wrap with silver bead necklace, an appearance-based candidate for the teacher giving the blessing.

A photograph of a standing man in an orange wrap with a swept-back bun, a long rudraksha mala and a bare torso, reaching to touch the forehead of a smiling man in a white checked shirt with a name badge. Behind them, seated men in white dhotis with gold borders and mala beads watch, and a camera operator in a red shirt films with a tripod. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands at right and a white cooling unit at centre. The scene reads as an ashram blessing or initiation moment.

A seated man in an orange and gold silk shawl with a red-and-gold border and a long rudraksha mala around his neck places his hands on the forehead of a man in a white shirt, blessing him with a touch. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and eyes closed, and is smiling. Behind him is a brass oil lamp and a decorated wall with a painted image of a goddess in red and orange. A partially visible bald man in white stands at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, orange silk and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable match.
