A photo of a group of men in white dhoti and angavastram with yellow-gold borders, most bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas, gathered in a hall with framed religious pictures on the walls. A man in the centre sits with his eyes closed while a seated man with a bare upper body and a rudraksha mala has his hand on his head in a blessing gesture, and a woman in a blue sari with a striped border stands at right. Nearby a man stands with hands in anjali mudra, another stands with arms folded, and a bearded man sits in the foreground in white.

A photograph of a ritual scene indoors with a red carpet and light walls. In the foreground an elderly bare-chested man with white hair and a white beard, wearing a white dhoti with a gold border and a gold chain, bends forward and holds out his cupped hands toward a bearded man in an orange-saffron garment with a rudraksha mala. A younger man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala stands beside him holding a small round object. Behind them a standing man with a shaved head and a red tilak wears white, and several other people in white, saffron and pale shirts stand in a crowd. A man on the left wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala.

A seated group of men in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha malas sits on the floor of a plain room, many wearing headphones, eyes closed or looking forward. A small brass oil lamp and kumkum-marked brass plates sit on an orange cloth in the foreground. Behind them, boys in red and green shirts sit among the group, and a man in white stands at a lectern near a table in the back. The white-painted walls and window frame give a simple ashram setting.

Several men in white dhotis with gold-bordered sashes sit cross-legged on a colourful striped floor covering during a ritual gathering. The central man, bald on top, wears a white shawl and a long rudraksha mala, and is handling a small clear plastic-wrapped item, possibly a cloth-wrapped object, over a brown cloth. Another man on the left holds a white box, and a man on the right holds a small clear container.

A seated group of men in plain white ritual clothes and rudraksha malas sits on a carpeted floor during a puja. In the foreground, one man in white kurta and white dhoti holds a small red-rimmed plate with a red substance and a tilak on his forehead; a brass tray, oil lamps, a small brass bowl, and a plate of flowers and fruit sit before the group. Behind them, more seated devotees in white clothing with tilak marks, some with fingers joined in prayer, and a few men in orange-red cloth at the far right. No identifiable a person figure is visible among the seated participants; the group is simply devotees in white.
