A seated man in a white kurta holds a dark wooden percussion instrument in his right hand, and a red-and-orange lanyard with a rudraksha-style bead mala hangs around his neck. He wears a small red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, another seated participant in white holds a green wooden clapper or instrument, and orange cushions and a red mat are visible on the floor. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance here, so the person is described by role only.

A shaved-headed man in a white shirt and a rudraksha mala sits in a seated group session, holding an orange hand mirror up to his face and looking into it intently. Behind him, other people in white clothes sit on the floor, and a few wear orange or saffron garments. A small wired earpiece is visible at his ear. The setting appears to be a hall with a plain pale wall and red fabric in the background. This is a self-reflection exercise; the man is a participant and does not show the appearance cues needed to identify anyone as a person.

A man seated from behind, seen in three-quarter view, holds a small white arched hand mirror up before him as he looks into its dark glass. He wears a plain white kurta with a loose collar and a red-and-white thread on his wrist. Blurred figures in white clothing sit in the background, with warm orange and red tones of a satsang hall visible at the edges.

A man seen from behind with short dark hair stands before a framed mirror on a polished reddish-brown tiled floor, looking into it. In the mirror a reflected figure in a white shirt wears a dark cord necklace with a small pendant, and an oval white object rests on the floor at lower left. A dark backdrop fills the right side. The reflection is partly obscured by a blurred, speckled mirror surface.

A man in white kurta with an orange-red scarf printed with Devanagari script and a rudraksha mala around his neck holds a pink oval plastic board up in front of him, watching it closely. Beside him, a hand holds up a pale blue board, and other people in orange and white clothing are seated in a crowded hall behind them. A gold bracelet is visible on his wrist. The setting appears to be a group gathering with participants holding up similar boards.

A large seated congregation of devotees in white clothing with red-orange shawls and rudraksha malas fills a hall, many with tilak marks. In the foreground, a young man with curly hair, bare-shouldered in white with a yellow sash and rudraksha mala, holds a white ceremonial fan or paddle and looks toward the front. Others around him, including a man on the left holding a green fan, sit attentively in meditation or ritual participation.

Close-up photograph of a young man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a bare-chested ritual look with rudraksha beads and a saffron-orange beaded mala at the neck and a white cloth draped over the shoulder. He has white sacred ash marks across his forehead and is smiling with eyes lowered as he presses one hand to his cheek while holding a small wooden box or book in the other hand. The background shows a warm red wall and a blurred flame glow.
