A photograph of an indoor gathering. A man in white shirt and trousers bends forward while a bare-chested person in a saffron-orange turban and orange shawl, with a white flower garland, smiles and touches his head with both hands. Behind them, women in white saris stand and watch, one smiling with hands raised near her chest, another with hands clasped in front. A framed picture hangs on the wall, and a metal bowl is visible at right. The setting suggests a blessing or darshan moment. The saffron-clad person shows distinctive orange turban and garland cues, but the appearance is not sufficiently certain for identification, so the role is given as a person in orange attire.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and orange head covering, with a rudraksha mala around the neck and gold bangles, places a hand on the head of a kneeling woman with a long braid and blue sari. A man in an orange shawl holds a shallow bowl of orange kumkum or vibhuti. Behind them, standing devotees in white dhotis and white shawls bow or watch, and a woman in pink sits near the back. A deity garland and flower decorations are visible on a shrine at the upper left, in a dim, smoky room.

Indoor photo of a ritual scene in a plain hall. In the right foreground, a figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe, with a white flower garland around the neck, leans forward and places hands on the head of a seated man in white, whose head is bowed. Behind them, a gold-coloured ornate frame or shrine edge is decorated with pink and white flowers. Standing nearby, a man in a white shirt watches. On the left, an older man with white hair in a white dhoti and shirt holds a clear plastic bag, and a younger man in white stands beside him. A woman in a light blue sari and a man in white linger in the background, with a few other figures partly visible. The figure in the saffron turban appears to be a sannyasi or priest; identity is unclear from appearance alone.

A person in orange saffron cloth wrapped as a turban and robe sits cross-legged, leaning forward to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a light blue shirt with prayer hands pressed together and a red-and-white beaded mala around his neck. Behind them a woman in a white sari stands near a camera tripod, and another woman in a pale patterned dress stands at right. Folding chairs, a microphone stand and cables are visible at left.

A photograph of a satsang at night where a man in an orange turban and orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair sits on a raised seat, leaning forward to place his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and dark trousers, who bows with his hands clasped. Surrounding them, men in white shirts and dhotis and a young man in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala stand close, and an older man with a white moustache watches. A cameraman on the right films with a video camera, and a red-covered table with offerings sits at the edge. The figure in the orange turban has distinctive long hair and orange robes, a person cue, seated in the role of the giver of blessing.

Night-time darshan: a smiling figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head cloth sits on a red upholstered chair, resting his hands on the head of a devotee who kneels in front in a white shirt. The devotee's head is bowed and palms are pressed together. Two people in white stand left, a woman with glasses and dark hair is partly visible in the lower-left corner, and oil lamps glow in the background. a person: the saffron robes, orange head cloth and seated central position align with the page's claim, though the face is not used for identification.
