A large framed photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate gold-coloured frame decorated with orange and white marigold garlands and a purple flower. Behind it is a gilded arch. At the lower left corner, a smaller inset shows a man in white ritual clothing with shaved head holding a white object. The framed portrait is a printed image, not a physical person, and the scene appears to be a shrine or puja display.

A photograph of an outdoor scene in a garden setting with lush green trees behind. A white-clothed devotee sits on the ground at the front left, and several seated people in white clothes are arranged around a central raised platform. On the platform sits a figure in orange or saffron robes beside an ornate shrine or murti setting with a small deity figure under an arched canopy. Oil lamps and offerings are placed in front of the shrine. The scene appears to be a puja or darshan gathering held outdoors.

A photograph of a satsang hall where a seated speaker in white clothes faces a group of about ten people sitting on the floor in front of a projection screen. The screen shows a slide with blue and white graphics and the heading "How the Mind Works". Behind the speaker is a framed deity picture and a golden kalasha-like object on a stand, with red curtains and hanging lights. Several listeners wear white and colourful saris and kurtas. The speaker is not clearly identified from appearance, so no a person candidate is asserted.

A photograph of a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes seated indoors beside a window with green potted plants. He smiles and looks to his left. A small framed picture stands on the table in front of him, and a camera is visible at the lower left.

A bald man in saffron-orange robes stands at left beside an ornate gold-carved wooden stand with red cushioned seat, placed before a large framed portrait of a long-haired figure in orange garments seated in meditation. A portrait of the figure shows long dark hair and orange robes. Potted green palm plants and a white chair stand in the room with a dark marbled wall backdrop.

A photograph of a bald man in saffron-orange robes seated in a white armchair before a computer monitor and webcam on a blue table, indicating a remote or e-satsang setup. Behind him a large framed portrait shows a woman in a golden-yellow sari with a tree backdrop, and a potted palm sits to the left beside a white wall. The seated man is an appearance-based a person candidate with a saffron robe and rudraksha-style cues not clearly visible, so the identity is uncertain. Ornate framed portrait and white room suggest an ashram study space.

A stone-pillared temple shrine open on the sides with orange curtains draped at the entrance. At the centre stands a deity murti of a crowned, multi-armed form with garlands of yellow and orange marigolds, flanked by a consort in pink and blue. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides.

Two gold-capped posts stand on the padukas, each with a white flower or garland draped over it. Around the tray are polished silver bowls and cups, one with a small silver dish holding white flowers, and a hollow in the tray's upper left. No people are visible.

A red-clad deity murti stands on the right and golden lamp stands flank the scene, with a pink cloth hanging at upper left. The portrait is a printed picture, not a live person; it bears the caption a person printed along its bottom edge.

A temple shrine photographed from the front under an open-sided roof with orange curtains tied to red pillars. At the centre, a deity murti with a crown and garlands sits in a gold-arched niche behind a golden peetha holding a framed portrait of a seated man in orange robes. Several devotees in white and saffron clothing sit cross-legged on mats in the foreground, some with hair in braids, facing the shrine during a padapuja-style worship.
