Indoor photo in a plain cream-walled hall where a man in an orange saffron shawl and bare upper arms holds a large silver-toned metal vessel while another man in saffron-orange robes and a maroon-and-gold turban and shawl steadies its base. Around them stand several people in maroon robes with gold borders and turbans, some wearing rudraksha malas, with a smiling woman in orange robes and bindi behind. A wooden table with a blue cloth and white cloth stands in front, and a green cloth is held in one hand. Steel cabinets and a metal ventilator are visible on the right.

A photograph in a plain yellow-walled room with a red umbrella and a wall-mounted fan unit. A smiling bearded man in saffron-orange robes stands centre, with an older bald man in orange draped cloth reaching in to touch a large glass jar held by several attendants. Attendants wear orange and gold-striped turbans, rudraksha malas and ornate bead bracelets. A young man in an orange robe with a long dark ponytail and gold-beaded necklace stands at the left edge, holding up a phone. A blue-lidded box with white cloth sits on the table in front. The centre man's appearance with his orange robes and bearded face is compatible with the page's a person reference but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so he is described by role as a devotee in orange robes.

Indoor hall with recessed ceiling lights and a wall of windows. A man in an orange saffron robe with a tan knit cap and red tilak on his forehead stands at left, and a young shaved-headed man in a rust-brown robe with a rudraksha mala and white paint marks on his arms stands center, folding an orange shawl with a green and red border. An elderly man in an orange shawl bows and holds a folded white paper. At right, a person in a rust-coloured turban and rudraksha-style bead necklaces is touching the orange cloth, beside a golden lion-headed ornament. Other devotees in orange and saffron robes stand in the background.

A photograph of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees in an indoor room with recessed ceiling lights. In the centre, an elderly man with long white hair and beard wears a saffron robe and orange shawl, his hands extended in greeting toward a woman at right. She wears a rust-red head wrap, a red-brown garment, pearl necklaces and bangles, and holds a golden lion-headed object wrapped in orange cloth. Beside them a bald man in a brown-red garment and rudraksha mala stands, and to the right another man in orange adjusts cloth. Men at left wear orange robes and beards. Possibly a satsang gathering in Haridwar.

A photograph inside a bright exhibition stall with white walls and a red-and-yellow striped canopy. Several men in saffron-orange and rust-red robes with yellow sashes and turbans stand around a display table. At center, a bearded man in plain orange robes with a rudraksha mala looks toward a man in a yellow-and-red turban who holds up a small object. A man at left wears a white dhoti with a bare upper body and a long rudraksha mala, and another in red-orange wraps stands beside him. On the table are bronze and brass deity figurines, a small kalasha-style vessel, and a carved stone piece. Several people are visible in the background.

Outdoor scene beside a red boundary wall. A man with a saffron turban and saffron-and-gold dhoti, with a rudraksha-style garland, bends forward and touches a dark black carved stone kalasha-like vessel set on a grey pedestal.

A man in white shirt and dhoti stands behind, and a young man with shaved head wears a red-and-gold robe with a garland. A white car and stone sculptures are visible in the background. Ritual setting, possibly a consecration.
