Photograph of a group of shaven-headed men in plain white dhotis and white shawls seated behind a metal railing, several with white tilak on their foreheads and red-bordered cloth. A man in the centre wears a rudraksha-style mala and gold bangles and holds his hands together; another at right holds a mala and chants with eyes closed. Behind them, a man in a grey shirt sits with hands folded in namaste. The setting appears to be a seated padapuja or ritual gathering.

A photograph of a devotional gathering in a temple hall with reddish-orange walls. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothes and a white shawl sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, a red tilak on his forehead and rudraksha beads around his neck. Beside him, a woman in an orange sari with a dark-red border sits with her head bowed, wearing beaded necklaces. Behind a metal railing, several other men in white dhotis and shawls sit in prayer with hands folded, while a man in orange robes is visible at right. Tripod-mounted cameras and lights stand near the railing, and a small oil lamp flame is visible at left.

A close photograph of a bald man with white vertical tilak lines on his forehead and a red dot between the brows, eyes closed and hands pressed together in namaste while chanting. He wears a saffron-orange cloth with a gold border over a bare upper body, and multiple rudraksha malas hang on his chest with a dark pendant cord at his neck. Behind him, several men with white tilak marks and white dhotis sit with their hands folded in prayer. The man in front is not clearly shown as a person, so the identity is uncertain.

A photograph of several men in white ritual dhotis and shawls seated and praying with palms pressed together at chest level. In the foreground, a shaved-headed young man with eyes closed wears white and red-trimmed cloth, a black rudraksha-style mala, and a gold bracelet, with white sacred ash marks on his forehead and arms. Behind him, other devotees sit with hands folded, some wearing dark beaded necklaces. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang or puja gathering. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
