A seated figure in a rust-red turban, red-orange robe and a long ornate necklace of rudraksha beads and gold-toned beads sits on a golden throne before a flower-decorated altar with yellow and orange garlands. An older man with grey hair and a beard, wearing an orange shawl and a white flower garland, bows forward and touches the seated figure's arm. Around them stand three men in white and saffron clothing with white tilak marks on their foreheads, one holding rudraksha malas, watching with smiles. Golden deity murti and brass ritual objects sit on the altar. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, consistent with the page's description of the event.

A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne, wearing a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange robes with a gold-embroidered shawl, reaches out to shake hands with a devotee in a pale pink shirt and white dhoti. Behind the throne stands a decorated deity murti garlanded with yellow and red flowers, and a gold-painted lion-headed piece sits nearby. Around them, a man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala holds a printed booklet, a woman in white wears a mala, and several elderly men in white and cream clothing press their palms together, some holding fruit. Red curtains and a pale wall frame the room.

Devotees gather in a red-draped temple room with golden pillars and brass lamps. In the foreground, a seated figure in a rust-orange wrap, rudraksha mala and gold bangles extends a hand as an elderly man in a white shirt and grey trousers bows low to touch it. Behind them, a bald priest in a saffron-brown dhoti with a white-and-gold beaded necklace stands near a golden staff, while women in cream and green saris and headscarves look on. A pale-yellow sari wearer with a rudraksha mala raises a finger to her lips. Several other people stand in the background. The seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone; the scene is darshan with pada-puja-style respect.

A bare-chested man in a pink and orange turban with a long pink cloth draped over one shoulder, wearing rudraksha malas and orange-and-red garments, smiles as he blesses a man in a white striped shirt who bows with hands joined and head lowered. Several devotees with folded hands stand in a line behind them, with other people in saffron robes at the right edge. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a red-lit wall in the background.

A devotee in a blue and white striped shirt and red wrist thread bows deeply with hands joined, while a seated figure in orange robes, an orange turban and a yellow marigold garland places a hand on his head in blessing. The seated figure has long dark hair and a leopard-print cloth beneath. Behind them stand two men in orange robes: one bald with glasses and gold necklaces, the other with a rudraksha mala. A silver trident stands in the background beside a gilded throne and an ornate painted backdrop, in a room with an air conditioner. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but identity is uncertain, so the figure is described by role as the blessing giver.

A man in a red turban with gold trim and a red-maroon robe with gold necklaces and gold bangles places his hand on the head of a seated older man with grey hair, glasses, a cream shawl and a blue striped shirt, who has his palms pressed together. Around them stand other devotees, including a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala, a man in a pink shirt with folded hands, and a monk in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala at right. A tray of offerings, possibly sweets or packets, sits in the lower right, and a white screen hangs in the background.

A man in a red-and-grey striped polo shirt with glasses leans in beside him, one hand on the seated figure's arm and holding an apple. In front, a tray holds red apples, fruit and sweets. Behind them are yellow-green palm fronds and a gold canopy. A visible , , .
