A seated figure in an orange saffron robe, with long swept-back dark hair and a long white jasmine garland with red flower accents, places his right palm on the forehead of a young man in a white striped shirt and jeans who leans forward with hands clasped. Behind them stands a bald man in white ritual clothes and a woman in white with a braid. The seated figure sits on a red-cushioned golden throne with ornate gold carvings, in front of pink draped fabric, a gilded lion-like ornament and a small wooden tray holding items. A man on the left holds a small object near his hands. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. The figure's appearance with orange robe, long hair and garland is a probable Swamiji cue, so the candidate is labelled as probable.

A photograph of a seated saffron-robed figure with an orange turban and a long swept-back hair, wearing a rudraksha-style gold bead necklace, placing both hands on the heads of two devotees. A man in a blue-and-white checked shirt bows with eyes closed and palms together, and a woman in a white shawl sits with her head bowed and hands folded. The setting shows a red cushioned seat with white flower garlands at right and a painted forest backdrop. The man in orange has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and beaded gold necklace cues, consistent with the page's a person reference, so the appearance-based label is a person, giving a blessing to devotees in a darshan setting.

A photograph of a blessing scene in an indoor hall with a wooden paneled wall and red-draped backdrop. A seated man in orange robes with long dark hair places his right palm on the forehead of an older grey-haired man in a white checked shirt with a red-bordered shawl, who bows his head. Behind them, a woman in white with a dark bun also bows, and other people in white and yellow stand in the background. Platters of flowers and offerings sit on a red cloth in the foreground, beside an ornate gold-edged frame.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red zebra-striped cushions places both hands on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and jeans, who bows forward. The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe over a red top, with a rudraksha mala and long dark hair. A woman in pink with a white flower garland stands at left holding a paper, and two people in orange and white kneel at lower right near a tray of fruit and books. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, showing long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable identification. A gold-framed throne, a red fruit tray and a seated devotee receiving blessing complete the scene.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on a red zebra-patterned couch before an ornate gold-leaf throne with carved scrollwork. A bald man in a white shirt bends forward and rests his hands on the seated man's head in a blessing gesture, while the seated man smiles. A gold-trimmed ceremonial belt is visible at his waist. Behind them, a painted backdrop of large trees. At the left edge, several women in white and yellow saris stand nearby, and at the right a young girl in a purple top watches. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, gold ceremonial belt), receiving a devotee's blessing on the stage.

A seated man in an orange robe and marigold garlands sits on a golden throne with a red cushioned back, his hand raised toward the head of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bows forward with hands folded. Behind them, a man in a white kurta with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala watches, a woman in a maroon sari with a red bindi stands at left, and another man in white stands near the throne. A gold-ornamented carved backdrop and a red curtain frame the scene, with a thatched structure and greenery visible at the top left. The setting appears to be an outdoor-side pavilion with devotees receiving blessings.
