Night-time photo of devotees gathered outdoors around a central figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, whose long dark hair falls below it; the figure is walking forward with one hand extended. Around them, a man in white shirt and white trousers stands with hands folded, a man in a light green shirt is at the left edge, a woman in a white-and-black floral kurta with a grey shawl stands at right, and a man in a beige shirt holds up a small camera while another man in a dark olive shirt with an ID badge photographs. A woman in a sari and a few other onlookers stand behind. Dark background with distant lights. The orange-robed figure is an appearance-based a person candidate, identified by the saffron robe, orange turban and long hair, but the face is not clear enough to confirm.

A nighttime outdoor crowd gathered on an open ground for a Guru Purnima satsang. In the foreground, a bald man in an orange dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a shaved-head priest in white and orange stand among devotees. A woman with blonde hair wears a sari and rudraksha mala beside another blonde woman with a red bindi. A young man wears a white garland and a red-striped polo with a red tilak. Behind them, men in white dhotis and rudraksha malas, and women in saris stand watching, some clapping. Light cloth and a palm-tree backdrop appear at the upper left.

A photograph of a seated group of devotees in white clothing, indoors against a pale wall, appearing to sit in meditation or satsang. In the foreground a man with silver curly hair wears a white collared shirt and looks to the side. Beside him a woman in a white shawl printed with red patterns and Om symbols sits with eyes closed. Further left a man in a grey-and-white striped shirt sits with his back to the camera, and a woman with light hair wears a white lace-patterned shawl. A woman in a white garment with rudraksha-style beads sits in the middle, and another person in red clothing is partly visible at the edge. No swami figure is clearly visible in this frame.

On the right, a person in an orange head wrap with a bare arm extended reaches toward the centre. A man in a white striped shirt with a lanyard stands at the left edge, and another man in an orange head wrap appears at the upper right. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is evident in this crowd.

Night photograph at an outdoor shrine with a dark background and a decorated deity murti framed by flower garlands and metal ornaments. Several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand near the shrine, one wearing an orange turban and another with a full dark beard. A woman in a green sari with gold border stands at left with folded hands. Around them, men in white shirts and trousers stand with their backs to the camera, one holding a small object. Visible people number about ten. A candidate in orange robes and turban may be a person, but the appearance is uncertain.

Night outdoor gathering lit by a floodlight on a pole. A figure in orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair, sits at right and places a hand on the head of a kneeling woman in a teal blouse and patterned sari, her head bowed and eyes closed. Beside her, a man in white shirt and white dhoti kneels with palms pressed together in namaskar, head lowered. A young man in white with an orange-red shawl and a bindi stands behind them, hand extended toward the kneeling woman. Other white-clad devotees and a silver-haired woman in beige with glasses watch from the left.

Night-time outdoor event with string lights on poles and orange-draped structures behind. On the right, a figure in an orange turban, sleeveless orange robe and long dark hair, with hands raised in greeting, faces a man in a maroon striped shirt and khaki trousers wearing glasses and a gold watch, who holds a small red object. Beside him, a woman in a pale green and yellow salwar with a red bindi presses her palms together, and a man in a white shirt with a moustache stands close. Further left, an older man in glasses and a white-haired woman are partly visible, along with several other men in white shirts and beaded necklaces in the background. The figure in the orange turban is a person candidate, identified only by appearance cues (orange turban, orange robe, long swept-back hair), and this is uncertain.
