Three men sit in a row in white dhotis with bare upper bodies, hands pressed together in anjali mudra during prayer. The man on the left has long slicked-back hair and eyes closed, wearing a gold bracelet. The middle man has a shaved head with white tripundra vibhuti lines on his forehead and white paste bands on his arms, holding his palms together. The man on the right, partly blurred, has white markings on his arms and a gold bracelet, with hands raised in prayer. The setting is a plain pale wall. No a person candidate is distinctively identifiable by the visible cues.

Four men sit in a row with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed, in a devotional gathering. The foreground man on the left is bald, wears thin round glasses and a rudraksha mala, and is wrapped in white cloth with maroon borders. The next man has white tripundra markings on his forehead and arms and wears white cloth. Two younger men further right also wear white garments with maroon edging and fold their hands. At the right edge, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits partly visible. Bronze and brass vessels sit in the lower foreground near bare feet.

A photograph of several shaved-headed men seated side by side in meditation, eyes closed, in a row facing left. They wear white dhoti-style cloths draped over the shoulders and rudraksha malas around their necks. Several have white vibhuti or ash marks on their foreheads and arms. One man in front has a red undergarment visible beneath his white cloth. Their hands are resting in meditative mudra on their laps, and the background is softly blurred with other seated people and a pale wall.
