Indoor hall scene where a man in an orange saffron dhoti-wrap and rudraksha bracelets, with a red bindi and a long gold necklace, presses his palm onto the forehead of a man in a white shirt who bows his head. A bald man in orange robes and glasses stands at right, and several other men in white and cream clothes crowd around. Behind them a projection screen and wooden fixtures are visible. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments, consistent with a person candidate performing a blessing, though the face is not clearly distinct enough to confirm. Several people stand in the background.

A photo from an indoor hall with ceiling lights and a projection screen behind the crowd. A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, with a red bindi, places his hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a plaid shirt with folded hands. Around them, men in white shirts and saffron-clad devotees stand with hands folded in namaskar and watch. On the right, a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a gold chain and glasses stands beside them.

Indoor photo of a blessing in a hall with a plain ceiling and recessed lights. A man in a pink saffron-toned dhoti-style wrap with a heavy gold multi-strand necklace and gold bangles stands at centre, with a red bindi, placing his right hand on the bowed head of a devotee in a striped shirt and glasses who has his palms pressed together. Several devotees with folded hands stand to the left, and a bald monk in orange robes and glasses with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Appearance-based candidate: a person for the central figure, wearing a pink wrap, gold necklace, gold bangles and red bindi, with the page noting his presence at the event; the figure is standing and blessing, so this is a candidate rather than a confirmed identity. A watermarked copyright line is printed at the lower right of the photograph.

Around him, a bespectacled saffron-robed sannyasi with tripundra marks and a white-clad elderly man with folded hands watch, while other devotees stand in the background of a hall with ceiling lights and a projection screen.
