A photo of a small room with pale walls where children and young people gather around a seated woman in a red-orange head wrap and ochre-and-red robes with a gold border, who applies a vertical white mark to a boy's forehead with her fingers. Her neck wears layered rudraksha-style beads. Beside her a bald man in red-gold robes, a rust-coloured bead necklace and bangles, stands watching. A young man in a checked shirt and a boy in a white shirt stand nearby, and a woman in a green top sits at a table behind. Plastic chairs and a white table fill the background.

Photograph of a medical camp at night with a woman in a white top bending over a young girl in a teal dress seated on a blue plastic chair. Around them a crowd of women in saris and children, including a toddler and boys in striped and purple shirts, watch and smile. No visible a person candidate; the scene shows community medical relief.

A dim night photograph of a crowd of boys and young men pressed close around a central figure. The central man wears a white shirt with an orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and holds a small lit flame or lamp in his hands, with the glow visible near his hands. Around him, many boys stare toward the flame, some with hands raised, one younger boy in a navy and red striped sweater with a yellow collar at the centre looking intently forward. Several boys wear white, red and yellow clothing. The scene appears to be an outdoor evening gathering with the crowd filling the frame.

Photo of a ceremonial moment at a temple-style gathering. A long-haired man in a sleeveless orange robe with a white tilak on his forehead touches the head of a young boy in a white and striped shirt with a small string around his neck; the boy looks up attentively. Beside them a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and a yellow lanyard stands near the railing, while men in blue shirts and devotees look on. Behind them hang colourful woven banners with blue, orange and yellow geometric patterns. Probable Swamiji (probable) in the orange robe with long swept-back hair and tilak, shown in person blessing the child.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-brown shawl and a multi-coloured bead garland, extending a hand to rest on the head of a young boy in a striped navy and white polo shirt. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti with a red-gold border and a forehead tilak stands watching, and a woman in an orange sari with a red bindi and beaded necklace observes with a smile. Another person in a white dhoti and gold-bordered cloth sits beside the figure, and a bald man in orange in the lower right has a white paste mark on his head. Several more people in white and teal clothing stand in the background before red drapes. This appears to be a blessing or head-touching moment during a gathering, with the seated figure presenting the blessing, lightly indicated by the hand gesture.

Photograph of a seated figure in a red-brown ochre robe with long dark hair and rudraksha malas over the shoulders, sitting in an ornate carved brown leather throne, placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with a name badge. Behind the young man, a woman in white with rudraksha beads and a boy in white stand near the seated figure, and an older man in white is partly visible. A woman in a cream sari and red malas on the left holds a folded blue cloth with yellow fringe. Wooden tiered seating and red and gold wall banners fill the background. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, ochre robe, rudraksha malas, seated on a throne).
