A photograph of a large group of men standing in a open-sided covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and bare brick walls. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, many with rudraksha malas around their necks; several stand with hands folded in namaskar or clasped at the waist, and some have arms crossed. Light streams in from a bright opening at the back, with a few more people visible beyond. No one present is wearing saffron or a crown, and no one's appearance supports identifying a specific individual, so the figures are described by role only as devotees in white.

A group of about a dozen men and women stand in a loose cluster outdoors in front of a white building with a red-framed doorway and a dark metal cabinet wall on the right. Most men wear white shirts with white dhotis, and several wear rudraksha or bead necklaces. A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a dark beaded necklace stands near the center, holding a small pink bag. An older man with a white beard on the far right wears a white shirt and dhoti with arms folded. Some are talking together, others are looking off to the side. Dry earth and a bit of greenery are visible in the background. The setting suggests a break between sessions at an ashram program.

A group of about fifteen men in white dhotis and white shirts stand and talk in a plain whitewashed hall with a corrugated metal roof. Several wear rudraksha or beaded mala necklaces. One man in the left foreground wears an orange garment and sits near the edge of the frame. Behind them a gold-grilled cabinet holds brass pots and vessels, and a framed picture hangs on the left wall.

A seated audience of men in white dhotis and white shirts sits on white plastic chairs in a hall for an Inner Healing session. Many wear dark rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, and several in the front rows sit with palms pressed together in anjali. A large portrait of a woman in a pink-orange garment hangs on the right wall, with a banner and framed photographs on the left wall. Some attendees stand at the back near the doorway.

A photograph of a group of men standing in an indoor hall with a grilled window and light coming in from outside. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; one man in front wears a grey-and-white shirt with grey trousers and holds a yellow cloth bag, another in white holds a yellow bag, and a man at right wears a white shirt with a lanyard and holds a yellow folder. Several people look toward a man at left in a white shirt. Some have name badges on their shirts.

Interior of a thatched-roof hall with white-washed walls and white pillars, where many devotees in white dhotis, white shirts and white kurtas gather for a convention session. Many seated people sit on mats and plastic chairs, some with rudraksha malas and lanyards; others stand with hands joined in anjali. A man in a white shirt stands centre with hands joined, and a man in a white kurta near the right holds his hands in prayer. Ceiling fans hang overhead, and a small patterned mat and cushion lie in the foreground.

A photograph of a group of men and boys standing in a line inside a plain white-walled hall with a tiled floor and a small framed picture on the wall. Most wear white dhotis and white kurtas with rudraksha malas around their necks; one older man has white hair and a white beard and wears a white shirt. A boy in a grey kurta holds a small pink box, and a boy in an orange hooded top stands near a shaven-headed man in orange robes at the right edge. A sound system and speaker sit at the right, and a saffron cloth is tied to a rod on the wall. No visible a person candidate is clearly identifiable.
