Close photo of a bald-cropped man with short grey hair in a black polo shirt, kneeling forward as a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged shawl places both palms on his forehead. The saffron-robed man wears a long rudraksha mala and has long swept-back dark hair and a small mark on his forehead; his face is turned sideways and blurred by motion. The man in black holds his arms outstretched to the side. Behind them is blurred green foliage and a dark curtain. Appearance cues (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, gold-edged shawl) are consistent with a person, but the face is not clearly visible.

A seated figure in an orange sleeveless wrap and a long rudraksha mala holds a sheet of paper while raising one arm toward a man in a black t-shirt and gold bracelet, who stands with palms pressed together. A red cloth backdrop, a wall fan, and a gold-coloured seat are visible behind them, and a person in white with a yellow shawl sits at the left edge.

A photograph of a smiling figure in saffron-orange drapery wearing a garland of golden-beaded rudraksha-style malas around the neck and head, with a red bindi on the forehead, extending a palm toward the forehead of a bald man in a dark blue shirt with a dark bead necklace, who raises his own palm in return. Behind them are gold and red decorative panels and draped fabric.

A photo of a padapuja-style blessing indoors. A man with hair tied in a bun and an orange-saffron shawl over his bare upper body, wearing a rudraksha mala and a ring, places his right palm on the forehead of an older woman with grey hair, who wears a red headband, red top and a red-beaded necklace. Her eyes are closed and she is seated before him. Behind them a bald man in saffron stands beside a red box, and a dark blue curtain and a gilded chair edge appear at left. a person appearance is uncertain: the seated man's cues are a bun and rudraksha mala, but facial and presentation evidence is insufficient to confirm identity.

The saffron-clad man places his right palm on the crown of a grey-haired man in a white shirt with navy trim and a gold bracelet, who leans forward with eyes closed. Behind them are blurred garlands in yellow, red and green and a window.

Photograph of a blessing moment indoors against deep red drapery. A bare-chested man with hair in a topknot, wearing an orange and gold shawl, a gold-beaded necklace and a gold waist-cloth, places both hands on the forehead of a grey-haired man in a white t-shirt with a brown beaded mala and a gold wristwatch, who holds one palm raised toward the camera. A gold-toned object and a metal bowl sit at lower right. a person appearance-based candidate is present, identified by the orange-and-gold ceremonial clothing, gold necklace and topknot; he is performing a blessing on a devotee. Two physical people are visible.

A photograph of a seated man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala placing his hand on the head of an older man in white clothes with grey hair, bent forward in a gesture of blessing. The orange-robed figure has long dark swept-back hair and sits beside an orange velvet chair against a deep red curtain. A partially visible person in white and red stands at the left edge. The scene resembles a darshan or blessing moment.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-red top and matching orange shawl, with a white forehead mark and rudraksha beads, placing his palm on the forehead of a bald man in a black t-shirt whose eyes are closed. The bald man's hands are raised beside his face. Red curtains and a blurred white-clothed person form the background. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the orange-clad figure giving blessing, based on long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-orange clothing.
