A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with gold trim and a matching orange turban places his right palm on the forehead of a older man in a white shirt, who has his eyes closed and hands pressed together in prayer. The robed figure wears a red and yellow flower garland and has long dark hair and a crown-like ornament, with bare shoulder visible. Behind them, seated devotees in white and pale clothing and a red carpet fill a bright indoor hall with a window and lamp.

A photograph of a man in a white turban with a yellow border and long dark hair, wearing a pink and purple garland, placing his right hand on the forehead of a seated man with a moustache, eyes closed. The seated man wears a white shirt, a rudraksha mala and a small pendant. Behind them, other men in white shirts and white dhotis stand with palms joined, and a blue cooler sits on a red mat.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange and yellow saffron robes and a long brown rudraksha mala touches the forehead of an older man with grey hair and a moustache, who wears white clothes and an orange-and-maroon shawl with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stands a person in white with a yellow beaded necklace, red fabric hangs in the background, and a golden throne-like seat and a tray of fruit sit to the right.

A photograph of a healing or blessing moment. On the right, a man with long dark hair tied in a bun, bare-shouldered, wears a red and gold shawl over a gold ornamental collar and a white tilak on his forehead, and presses his hand on the head of a seated man. The seated man in a white shirt, with short dark hair and a moustache, looks ahead with his palm raised in front of him. Two blurred figures in white clothing stand in the background. Setting appears to be an indoor hall with a pale wall and a wall-mounted fan at left.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robe with yellow edging, and a heavy beaded rudraksha-style mala necklace places one hand on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt and orange-patterned shawl. The man stands with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, receiving blessing. Red drapes and a gold carved throne-like chair form the backdrop, with fruit visible on a gold tray at lower left. Probable Swamiji (appearance-based label): the seated figure shows a turban, saffron robe and ornate beaded mala, and is shown giving blessing (a sign of darshan) to a devotee.

A photograph of a close, intimate blessing between two men. On the left, a man in white ritual clothing with a red beaded mala and a gold bracelet stands with palms pressed together, eyes lowered, holding a folded white paper. On the right, a man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron garment and touches the top of the first man's head with his right hand while holding the paper. The background is a plain pale wall with a dark curtain edge at the top right.

A photo of a ritual blessing. A long-haired figure in a rust-red robe with an orange-beaded necklace sits on the left, pressing one palm to the forehead of a man with cropped hair who stands on the right in a white kurta, rudraksha mala, and bracelet, his palms raised and eyes closed. The figure holds a folded white paper in the other hand. Behind them, several people in white clothing stand in a hall with red drapes and a white cabinet. The seated figure's identity is not established by appearance and is described by role only.

A photograph of a guided yoga or kriya session in an indoor room with a pale peach wall. A man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala raises both arms overhead, eyes closed, while a bare-chested figure in a red and gold shawl with a gold bead necklace and white tilak on his forehead places one hand on the first man's chest and holds a folded white paper in the other. Blurred figures in white stand in the background.
