Indoor photo of a seated man in a maroon-red dhoti and wrap with a gold border and a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace, holding an orange mug in one hand while extending the other arm toward a boy beside him. He has white tilak and a red bindi on his forehead and dark hair tied in a bun. Beside him sits a young boy in a white kurta with a red printed sash and a name badge on his chest, smiling and looking toward the man. Behind them a large printed portrait shows a smiling woman in a red-and-saffron garment with a long braid, and a colourful poster hangs on the left wall. Both sit on a cream-covered platform with a leopard-print cushion.

A seated man in a rust-red robe with a gold-coloured border and a long beaded gold-toned necklace touches the forehead of a young boy with curly light-brown hair who wears a white embroidered kurta. The man has a white horizontal tilak on his forehead and bare upper arm, and holds an orange cup on a white-draped table. Behind them, illustrated posters with printed text and photos hang on the wall, and at right a large painted portrait of a robed figure with beaded necklaces is shown seated on a leopard-print cushion. Two people are visible.

A photograph of two men seated on a white floor covering in an indoor room. On the left, a man with a shaved head and a forehead tilak wears a white dhoti and a red shawl printed with script, and holds a bead mala. On the right, a man with long swept-back hair, a white forehead band, and a gold beaded necklace wears a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl. He extends his arm to hand an orange cup toward the seated man on the left. Behind them, a large framed photograph shows a smiling figure in pink and red robes with a long garland, and a poster on the left shows a group of people in robes. The right-hand figure has distinctive long hair, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-coloured clothing, consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the appearance is not conclusive.

Photograph of two men seated on the floor in an indoor room with a patterned cloth-covered seat behind them. The man on the left wears a white kurta, a red scarf printed with script, a dark face mask around his neck and a beaded mala, and smiles while holding a sheet of paper. The man on the right wears a dark red robe with gold borders and a long orange-beaded necklace, has a white tilak on his forehead, and holds an orange cup while looking down. A printed poster with photos and text is on the wall behind them, and a pink and orange draped backdrop is visible. Appearance-based candidate with several cues (ochre robe, beaded garland, forehead markings, seated on a throne-like seat): a person on the right.

A seated man in a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a white vertical tilak with red bindi, smiles while holding an orange mug and reaching to touch the head of a person wrapped in an orange towel. A bare-chested figure with long hair and distinctive ornaments is visible; the beaded garlands and ochre dress are present, but the appearance is partially obscured. Behind him a large portrait shows a smiling person in orange turban and saffron robes. A second person in white and a child in a red-bordered shawl are at right on a white mat with a leopard-print cushion.

A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with gold border and a gold-beaded necklace, long dark hair swept back, extends both palms toward a smiling man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl whose hands are raised in return. The seated figure sits on a red velvet throne-like chair before a dark maroon curtain with gold damask patterns. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches, and other devotees in orange sit at the right edge. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-gold robe match the Swamiji (probable) cues, so this is an in-person ritual blessing moment in a satsang setting.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and an orange shawl with a gold-beaded rudraksha necklace, his right hand raised to the forehead of a smiling older man with grey hair and a moustache, who wears a white t-shirt, an orange wristband and a rudraksha mala. The robed man's left hand rests near the devotee's chest. Behind them, a person in a blue t-shirt watches, and a shaved-headed priest in white with a tilak marking sits partly visible. Two white cooler units stand against the wall beside them.

A seated figure in a rust-orange and gold-bordered garment with a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder raises a hand toward the forehead of a grey-haired man in a white shirt with a red lanyard. The seated figure's eyes are closed and the bearded man faces forward as the gesture is made. Gold ceremonial cloth and a red cushion are visible beside the seated figure, with a white screen and a partly visible person at the right edge. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang hall.

A photo taken at an indoor hall during a seated interaction. On the left, a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and a braided plait sits on a gold-ornamented seat, wearing a rust-orange wrap with a yellow-gold border, a red bindi and white forehead marks, smiling broadly. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron/orange wrap, ornate gold seat and forehead markings. His outstretched arm reaches toward a shaven-headed man on the right in a white kurta, who raises both palms toward the seated figure's forehead and smiles. The right man wears a red lanyard badge. Behind them are a black speaker, a white screen and red-cushioned chairs.
