Four men sit in a row in an indoor hall, palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed in prayer. They wear orange and saffron cloth, with rudraksha malas around their necks and arms, and gold bangles. The man in the center, bald and wearing glasses, has a white line on his bare shoulder. A man at the far left also wears glasses and a ring. Behind them are wooden columns and a white wall. The posture suggests satsang or meditation. None of these men shows the cues needed for an identification, so the a person field is set to none.

A group of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged in rows with palms pressed together in namaskar, a devotional gesture during satsang or puja. Several wear rudraksha malas, orange shawls and white tripundra marks on their foreheads, while one man in front-left wears clear-framed glasses and a red bindi. Behind them other devotees and a seated attendant appear in the hall, a red curtain and white doors visible on the wall. Brass and copper vessels sit on the floor in front of the group. a person is not confidently identifiable from appearance here, so the seated men are described by role as devotees and sannyasis.

A group of saffron-robed sannyasis sit in a row in prayer, palms joined in anjali mudra and mouths open as if chanting. Several have shaved heads with white vertical tilak marks and red bindi, and wear rudraksha malas and orange shawls over their shoulders. The man at left wears clear-framed glasses and multiple bead bracelets. Behind them, other participants in orange and red garments and a red curtain fill the background, with brass items at the lower right. Several people are visible, though the photo does not show more than a handful clearly.

The middle man has a tilak and rudraksha beads and holds a wrist watch. The man on the left is shaved-headed with a tilak. Behind them, a man in white with a red shawl and a lanyard sits with hands folded, and more devotees are visible at the edges. A purple patterned backdrop fills the background.

Three men seated side by side in a hall with a red curtain behind them, in a devotional pose with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. They wear saffron-orange unstitched robes draped over bare shoulders, with rudraksha mala beads around their necks and gold bangles on their wrists. Each has white vibhuti or tilak marks on the forehead, and the man on the right wears glasses and a small earring.
