Night-time outdoor gathering under dark trees on a paved area. A man in an orange-red robe with a white forehead mark and a long dark beard sits cross-legged, smiling and holding a white cup, with a bearded man in white dhoti and shawl beside him. Standing at left are men in orange robes with rudraksha-style beads and a woman in an orange sari with a bead garland. Women in white sarees with gold borders sit at right and in the foreground, watching. The robed man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the photo does not clearly establish his identity, so he is described by role only.

Night outdoor photo at an ashram gathering. Around him, many people sit on the ground in white and orange clothing, some with orange shawls. A standing man in a white kurta and dhoti stands at right, and a person in white bends forward in the foreground. A striped white-and-maroon wall runs along the back. Several people sit in rows, listening attentively.

A night-time outdoor photograph at an ashram-style setting. On the right, a smiling person in an orange saffron robe and ornate gold necklace with a pink-and-white bead garland sits beside a stone linga on a black pedestal. Behind and to the left, a row of smiling men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with hands folded, several wearing orange shawls, and one wears a pendant on a dark cord. At far left, a lit oil lamp flame glows near the edge of the frame. Dark background, sandy ground.

Night outdoor gathering on a dirt ground where a group of women in saffron-orange sarees with rudraksha malas sit and laugh, many with white marks on their faces and arms. Several have lemons or round yellow-green fruits in their hands and wrists. Behind them, seated devotees in white dhotis and orange-and-white garments watch. A standing woman in an orange saree with a rudraksha mala stands at centre. A small brass or steel cup sits on the ground in front. Several onlookers wear glasses and white ritual clothing.

Night-time outdoor gathering at an ashram with a large crowd of devotees. In the foreground a bare-chested figure with long swept-back dark hair and an orange wrap, holding a microphone, faces the crowd and speaks. Around them many people wear white ritual clothes and orange shawls, with several young girls and children in front. On the right a man in white raises a video camera. A string of lights and a dark tree line appear behind. The figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues (long hair, orange wrap, bare chest), so this is a probable identification with the page's claim of Swamiji present; the figure is a presiding teacher speaking to devotees.

Night-time outdoor gathering under trees. A bearded man in a rust-orange robe sits cross-legged on a pale ground, with a white tilak on his forehead, smiling and touching his chin, with a small cup beside him. Around him, devotees in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand and sit, laughing. A woman in a white sari with gold border sits at right, and other people in white and gold-bordered saris and dhotis are in the foreground. Watermarked archive photo elements are omitted.

A photograph of a seated ritual scene inside a temple hall with a large stone pillar behind. In the centre, an elderly bald man in saffron-orange robes with a red-beaded rudraksha mala, a pink flower garland, gold ornaments and white vibhuti on his forehead sits with hands clasped. To his right, a younger long-haired man in orange robes with a pink garland and a gold-trimmed shawl, his arm marked with white paste, sits in front of him. A man in a grey shirt kneels at lower left near a green cloth with gold trim, and seated devotees in white and yellow saris and white dhotis watch from the background. Several people in white and orange surround the gathering. Whether the central elderly figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
