A photograph inside a tent-like hall with white fabric ceiling and hanging decorative panels. A man with long dark wavy hair, wearing an orange sleeveless garment, sits and places his hand on the forehead of an older balding man in a white shirt and dark trousers who bends forward with hands clasped near his face. Beside them, a bald man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands watching, and a man in a grey shirt and glasses looks on. Behind, several people in white clothes and orange garments stand near a table with a cloth. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan exchange.

A photograph of a ceremonial blessing. In the foreground, a figure in an orange-saffron robe with bare upper arm and hair in a topknot presses a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who has white markings on his forehead and closes his eyes. A shaved-headed priest in an orange robe and beaded necklace stands at left, and other people in orange and white clothing are seen in the background near a white cooler unit. The orange-robed figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is described as a priest giving a blessing.

A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a white tilak on the forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, placing his palm on the head of a kneeling devotee in white kurta and dhoti. A bald man in white kurta with an orange shawl stands at left, and another bald man in orange robes with a red tilak stands behind the devotee, with a brass plate of offerings visible. Four people are visible.

A photograph of an indoor sarva darshan blessing inside a hall with white draped ceiling fabric and a yellow and blue patterned hanging. A young person in an orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair in a low bun places a hand on the forehead of an older man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt, who has a rudraksha-style red-brown mala around his neck and bows his head while another man holds his hand. Behind them a bald man in white with an orange stole watches, and an elderly woman with glasses and a yellow-sleeved person in white stand nearby. Fruit sits on a table at right and a red cloth is visible at the edge.

A photo of a man in a white shirt and glasses bowing forward while a long-haired figure in orange robes and a gold-coloured necklace places a hand on his forehead in a blessing. Beside them a second orange-robed man with a rudraksha mala and a red tilak stands watching, and a silver vessel sits on a red cloth at the lower edge. A green tree backdrop fills the background. The orange-robed figure with long hair and ornate gold chain is an appearance-based a person; the blessing is being given by him.
