A seated figure in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, sits on an orange-draped throne and touches the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti. The seated figure's hair, orange robes, malas and ornate gold-necklace cues fit the a person description; the figure is giving blessing to the kneeling devotee. Behind them a standing attendant in white with an orange scarf watches, and on the right another man in white with a yellow shawl stands near a red-and-white railing. Brass lamps, a gold-rimmed tray with fruit, and a red-and-gold cushioned pedestal are nearby, with banana leaves in the background. Four people are visible.

A seated man with long, swept-back black hair wears an orange shawl over a dark blue garment, with rudraksha beads around his neck and both wrists. He leans forward and rests his right palm on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl, whose hands are pressed together in anjali. The seated figure sits on a red and black tiger-striped cushion beside a small red box and an orange towel. Behind them a second orange-clad devotee kneels, and a pale wall with a window forms the setting. Appearance-based label: a person, in person, giving blessing to a devotee.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a red velvet seat beside an ornate gold throne-like chair and a lit oil lamp. He places both hands on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a lanyard, who has his palms pressed together in a gesture of respect. Several women in white and yellow stand in the background near a plain wall and window, and a shaved-headed devotee in orange sits at the lower edge. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), giving blessing to a devotee at a satsang setting; the orange robe, long hair and ornate throne are the qualifying cues.

Photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair placing his palm on the forehead of a young man in a white collared shirt who kneels on a blue patterned mat. Behind them, a standing man in white clothes and an orange shawl, and another man in a light blue shirt holding a microphone. A small table with offerings and a bowl of fruit sits at right. The pose suggests a blessing or darshan exchange at an ashram gathering. The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji reference in orange robes and long hair, though his appearance is only partially clear.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in orange saffron robes and a red tilak on the forehead placing a hand on the bald head of a man in a white shirt, whose hands are pressed together in anjali. The man bows his head as a blessing is given. Behind them, other people in white and patterned clothing stand and kneel in an orange-walled hall, one woman bending low near the bottom of the frame, with a sign on the wall and a black speaker above. The giver of the blessing has an appearance consistent with the page's a person reference, though identity is uncertain, so it is given as a role: a sannyasi in saffron giving a blessing to a devotee.

Photograph of a seated figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange-saffron draped garment, a rudraksha-style bead mala and gold armlets, arms extended forward with a smile. Opposite, a kneeling man in a white kurta with an orange shawl over his shoulder raises his right hand in a gesture of reverence toward him. A red-and-black striped cushion and an orange cloth lie in the foreground, with a pale wall behind. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure based on long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala; the kneeling devotee is shown in white with an orange shawl.

A photograph inside a hall with banners and a ceiling fan. A central figure sits cross-legged in an orange-saffron robe and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, with long dark hair swept back, raising one hand in blessing toward a devotee. A woman in a cream sari bows with her head lowered toward his lap, where orange cloth holds stacks of banknotes, an offering known as biksha. Around them, men and women in white and orange clothing stand and kneel. He is receiving an offering of money from devotees during a gathering.
