A photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with framed religious pictures on the wall behind. In the foreground a man with grey hair, eyes closed, presses his palms together in anjali namaskar, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti with a name badge on his chest. Beside him an older man in glasses and a white shirt and dhoti stands with hands joined, and a man on the left wearing a white shirt with a badge reading SRINN also holds his hands together. Behind them women in white saris and other people in white clothing smile and stand in the crowd, with a purple cloth visible at the right.

A photograph of a crowd at a devotional gathering. In the centre, a bald older man with grey hair at the sides wears a white shirt and dark tie and kneels with palms pressed together and eyes lowered, while a man in white on his left steadies his shoulder. Behind him, a bespectacled man in white stands watching. On the right, a person in white and an orange shawl reaches forward toward a bundle of white rolled sticks held by devotees. A man in a yellow shawl is at left edge. The scene suggests an attendee receiving blessing or a devotional offering, with people in white clothing around him.

A photograph of an older man in a white collared shirt, with grey hair and a red tilak on his forehead, kneeling with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. A hand in white sleeve. Behind them, a man in white with a rudraksha mala and orange shawl stands, and a person in a yellow shirt is partly visible. A bearded man in orange robes stands in the background of a hall with striped cloth-draped tables and white scaffolding. The setting appears to be an ashram hall during a blessing or darshan.

Large crowd of mostly men in white clothes sits and stands under a white tented hall at a satsang program, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. In the foreground a man in a beige shirt with a wristwatch raises his hands in namaste. On a distant stage between blue drapes, a figure in orange robes stands near a yellow chair, a large decorative backdrop behind. Overhead hang white ceiling fans and draped white fabric with gold trim.

A photograph of a seated man in white clothes with a silver bracelet placing his right hand on the forehead of an older man with white hair, who sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. A third man in white with glasses and an ID badge on a lanyard watches nearby, and other seated people in white and a man in orange fabric appear behind them in a hall with red-and-white seating. Visible people number four.

Photograph at a crowded indoor gathering. In the foreground, a long-haired person with dark hair faces away from the camera. Centre, an elderly man with a bald head, white moustache and white shirt stands with palms pressed together in namaste, a rudraksha mala hanging at his chest. Behind him, several older men in white shirts and dhotis stand watching, one with a lanyard badge; a woman in a yellow sari sits at left and a figure in orange clothing appears at right edge. A fan and a blue cabinet are visible in the room. The man in namaste shows no swept hair, crown or saffron garb, so no a person cues are present and he is described by role only.

Outdoors on dusty ground with trees behind, a man in a white shirt with grey hair and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in prayer. Beside him a man in a white shirt with a red bindi and a gold bangle places his right hand on the seated man's head in a blessing gesture, his eyes closed. A badge hangs from the standing man's neck and a dark cord is visible. Other people in white and pink clothing stand in the background, including a woman in a blue top at the left edge. No identifiable a person appearance is visible, so this shows devotees in a blessing or initiation moment.

A large white-clad crowd stands under a white tented pavilion with a purple backdrop, many with arms raised and hands clasped overhead or pressed together in devotion. In the foreground, a grey-haired man in white kurta with a silver wristwatch raises clasped palms above his head; beside him a man in white shirt claps with hands together. Other devotees in white shirts and dhotis stand around, some with raised arms; fans hang from the ceiling and a floral arrangement sits near the stage edge. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance in this crowd.

A photograph of a crowd at a devotee gathering. In the centre, a bald older man with grey hair at the temples, wearing a white collared shirt, raises his open right hand toward the upper left and looks upward while speaking. Around him, people wear white ritual clothing; one man at left has a yellow shawl and a beaded necklace, and at right a man in an orange-saffron wrap holds rolled white papers or scrolls. A woman with dark hair in the lower left foreground has a hand resting on the shoulder of the man in white.
