A photograph of a dense crowd of men seen from behind, most dressed in white shirts and white dhotis. A man in the foreground right wears a saffron-orange head wrap and a white shirt, with one hand raised in a mudra near his chest. Another man in the lower left wears an orange scarf over a white shirt. Heads are close together in a packed gathering. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible from this angle, so the presence of a candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance.

Photograph of a dense crowd of men at an indoor yoga or meditation gathering, seen from behind. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, with a few in striped blue-and-white, green and grey shirts. Several hold their hands up, some with palms raised. Grey-haired and dark-haired heads fill the frame; no clear face of a central teacher is visible, and no one is identifiable as a specific figure. The scene is bright and crowded, with the audience facing away toward the front of the hall.

A dense outdoor crowd of devotees gathers under a tree during a festival procession. Many men and women wear white shirts and white dhotis or sarees, with some in orange or saffron robes and rudraksha malas. A woman in the centre right wears an orange saffron wrap and a gold necklace, and a golden staff with a decorative top is visible at upper right. Several people hold their hands in namaskar or anjali. Faces are turned toward a figure outside the frame, and no clearly identifiable central figure is visible.

A dense crowd of devotees surrounds a figure in an orange saffron garment with a red border, wearing a long garland of white flowers, pink blooms and yellow fruit-like beads, with a flower tucked in the hair. Many people wear white ritual clothes and rudraksha malas; some men wear yellow shawls and others carry tall wooden staffs with white flags and red-tasselled decorations overhead. A woman in a white sari and a man in a white shirt press forward, and devotees raise hands, creating a procession atmosphere typical of a yatra.

A large dense crowd of devotees seated closely together, mostly men in white ritual clothing, many with hands folded in anjali and some with eyes closed in prayer. Several younger men wear orange-red shawls and rudraksha malas, and some foreheads bear white and red tilaks. A bald man in white with a mala stands out at left. In the lower foreground, boys in orange and white dhotis sit near the front. The setting appears to be a large hall at a satsang or puja gathering.

A crowded outdoor procession at a temple precinct, with a large mass of devotees in predominantly white dhotis, white shirts and white kurtas, many wearing rudraksha malas. A man in the lower right wears a saffron-orange shawl and an orange turban, with ornate gold-toned clothing, and holds his palms together in namaskar, and appears to be a sannyasi in procession. Other devotees around him include women in saris and a young child in a blue outfit. A rudraksha-garlanded man stands near him in white. Pale stone walls and a temple structure form the backdrop.
