He smiles as he places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt, red-thread wrist cord and beaded necklace, who kneels with his palms joined. Behind them a cobra-headed silver staff rests beside gilded lion-head armrests on a red throne, with red draperies behind. A woman in white sari stands at right.

He holds a white garland loop in his other hand and a gold beaded necklace hangs on his chest. Behind them, a deity murti or throne is decorated with multicolour flower garlands, and a white-clad woman stands in the doorway beside two white fans. The seating is upholstered in red tiger-stripe fabric, with a gold lion-like figure at left.

He rests his right hand on the head of a small boy in orange clothes with a rudraksha mala, who sits on the floor in front of him. A silver trident stands upright beside them, and gold-painted lion-like armrests flank the red-upholstered seats. Behind them, a woman in white with an orange shawl and two people in orange robes stand near a white backdrop. A banner with temple imagery is visible at left. The man is an appearance-based candidate for the teacher, shown with a long swept-back hairstyle, pink flower garland and ceremonial gold-toned seating, but the appearance is not conclusive. This appears to be a blessing moment, a sign of an ashram or satsang gathering.2014-05-11April 26 20152015-04-26A seated man in a maroon-brown robe with white and red flower garlands and a brown rudraksha-style mala blesses a bowed person by placing his right hand on their head.

Behind the seated man, a gold ornamental backdrop and green plants fill the space, and to the right another person in white with a brown shawl and rudraksha mala watches. The seated man has a white tilak on his forehead and smiles. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan gesture. The seated figure shows cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, including a rudraksha mala and a swept-back bun, but the appearance is not conclusive, so the identity is recorded as unsure.2015-02-25A seated man with a tied-back bun, white forehead markings, a bare upper torso draped in maroon cloth, and a rudraksha mala necklace places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a yellow t-shirt and glasses, who bows forward; a lanyard hangs from the boy's neck. Behind them is a garlanded setting with green leaves, orange and yellow flowers, a golden deity murti or ornament and a brass lamp stand. A woman in white with a maroon shawl and rudraksha mala sits at the right edge, smiling.
