A photograph of a man in an orange sannyasi robe with long swept-back dark hair, white forehead markings, and a gold necklace with a rudraksha mala, placing his right palm on the forehead of a smiling man with short brown hair who wears a white shirt and an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala. Both are seated in a plain white room beside a white wall-mounted air conditioner. A bald man in an orange robe stands partly visible at the right edge. The orange-robed man with long hair and gold necklace is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) in a blessing gesture, with the forehead blessing as the main action.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, hair swept back, a white tilak on the forehead, extends a hand in blessing toward the head of a bald man in white kurta with an orange shawl who sits with palms pressed together in reverence. A younger shaved-headed monk in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands at right. A white cooler unit and a plain white wall form the backdrop. The scene reads as a blessing or padapuja-style darshan moment.

A photograph of a seated man with short dark hair and a red headband with gold patterning, bare-chested with a red wrap and a beaded necklace, smiling as he places his hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and gold wristwatch who bows forward. A gold figure in the left foreground, a silver ceremonial staff and a peacock-feather fan are behind them, with a red-and-gold cloth backdrop. Several other people are partly visible at the right edge.

A seated man in orange saffron robes with long swept-back black hair, a vibhuti marking on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace reaches out to bless a younger man in a white t-shirt with an orange shawl, who presses his palm toward the seated man's raised hand. A third man in orange stands at the right edge. A white wall, wall-mounted air conditioner and a white cooler sit in the background, and a red cushioned seat is visible.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala with a swept-back long dark hairstyle reaches out to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with a red cord around his neck, who raises both hands in a gesture of reception. The seated figure sits on a red cushioned seat in front of a backdrop of colourful flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. A woman in white stands behind the standing man, and devotees in white and orange clothing are visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a darshan or blessing moment with floral decoration. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing in a seated position of honour.

A seated man in orange ochre robes with a sash, rudraksha mala necklaces and gold ornaments, a white tilak band and red bindu on his forehead, places his hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt and red tie who kneels before him. A second figure in orange robes and a turban sits on a red throne in the background, with a gold-trimmed red throne and red cushioned seat. The setting appears to be an indoor ashram hall with white walls.

A seated figure in orange saffron robes with a draped orange shawl and a gold-and-rudraksha necklace places his right palm on the forehead of a kneeling man with folded hands. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and a white forehead mark, and holds a folded white paper in his left hand. The kneeling man wears a white shirt and an orange shawl printed with text. A red velvet seat and orange cloth are visible behind them, and a second robed person kneels at the right edge. The gesture resembles a blessing or initiation with a puja-style forehead touch. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with orange robes, long swept-back hair, rudraksha and gold necklace, placed on a red throne-style seat.
