Behind them, a large hall with white draped fabric and maroon bunting holds rows of seated devotees in white and orange clothing on mats. A woman in a beige shawl stands at left.

A photograph taken indoors in a hall with white walls and a low ceiling with a ceiling fan. A long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange top and orange shawl sits on a red cloth, placing his right palm on the forehead of a short-haired man in a grey-and-white striped polo shirt who stands with his hands pressed together in namaste. Behind them a woman in a light blue sari and other devotees in orange and white watch, and a tray with fruit sits on a red cloth at the lower left. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan. a person is the long-haired man in saffron, giving a blessing to the devotee.

A photograph inside a hall with pink walls and dark windows. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment, places his right hand on the forehead of a short-haired man in a white shirt with a red lanyard, who has his eyes closed and palms pressed together. The person in orange has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a probable match for a person as the page indicates, though his face is not used for identification. Behind them, several people in white clothes stand with hands folded, and a person in a yellow garment is partly visible at the left edge. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment.

A seated long-haired man in an orange-brown robe and a red-brown beaded mala necklace raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a young man with short brown hair, who wears a white shirt, an orange-red shawl and beaded bracelets and holds his palms together in front of him. Both are smiling in a warm indoor hall with cream walls and a red velvet chair; a white-clad attendant with an orange sash stands in the background. The seated man is a person by appearance cues: long swept hair, a rudraksha-style mala and orange robes, while a person in front of him receives the blessing.
