A photograph of a seated man in a white kurta with a dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling with eyes closed as a figure in an orange sleeveless top with long dark wavy hair bends forward and reaches out with raised hands toward him. Behind them, two men in orange robes with red borders stand, one with long dark hair and a bracelet. On the left, a man in white holds his palms together in anjali, wearing a rudraksha mala and an ID badge on a lanyard. The gesture appears to be a blessing given to the seated devotee. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues, so the figure in orange with long hair is described by role only.

A photograph of an indoor gathering in which a long-haired figure in an orange robe presses both palms to the face of a seated man in a white kurta with a brown rudraksha mala. The robed figure has long black hair and a bare arm extended, and the seated man's eyes are closed as he receives the blessing. Behind them a man in an orange shawl over white clothing stands with a rudraksha mala, and further back several people in white clothes stand with hands folded in prayer. A pale carpeted hall and a table with small items are visible at right. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. Only the robed figure's appearance does not clearly establish identity, so the candidate is unsure.2006-08-29November 18 20102010-11-18 +2 copiesA photograph of a padapuja moment at a satsang. A smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and white vibhuti marks, wearing a saffron-orange draped garment, leans forward with both hands on the head of a seated man in a white shirt and black beaded mala with a pendant. Behind them, a woman in a white sari is visible, and a deity murti is decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands. Small gold and colored items are on a tray in front of the seated man, and a gold throne stands at the right. A microphone is at the lower left. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long swept hair, a saffron garment and ceremonial vibhuti, but the visible cues are not conclusive enough to name him, so the appearance is treated as uncertain.2010-11-18 +1 copiesIndoor 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.2011-11-12A 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 blessing man has long dark hair tied back, a white tilak on his forehead, and is smiling. Behind them, a man in a saffron garment wears gold chains, and other men in white clothes stand nearby, with a brass tray visible at lower right. Colourful striped pillars and an orange cloth hang in the background.
