A night-time photograph of a long line of devotees standing on a sandy ground at an outdoor event. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left, and beside him a man in a white shirt wears a rudraksha mala. A woman in a blue embroidered saree stands with hands folded in namaste. Next are women in cream and red sarees, a young woman in white with a magenta shawl, and a man in white shirt and dhoti with palms pressed together. Children in white and an orange-clad child stand in the line, and older women in sarees and men in white clothes continue into the darkness. A few people appear to hold their hands joined in prayer. The posture suggests a procession or darshan queue. No deity, throne, or ritual object is clearly visible.

A night-time photograph of a long line of men and women standing on a paved road in front of trees and a building, appearing to wait in a procession queue. Several men wear white dhotis and white shirts, one wears a checked shirt and dark trousers, and one older bare-chested man wears a red-orange dhoti and a white cloth. A man near the centre holds a brass plate or tray with offerings. A woman at the right edge wears a pink sari with gold-toned embroidery and folds her arms. Strings of decorative leaves hang over the path, and a small lamp glows at the left edge.

Night photograph of a long queue of devotees standing single file along a pale grey concrete wall at an outdoor ground. Most wear white dhotis, white shirts and white kurtas; one man in the line wears an orange-striped lungi and another wears a plaid shirt. Several men hold round stainless-steel plates or bowls. A woman in a white sari stands at the left edge, and a woman in a white kurta stands at the right edge, with a dark vehicle partly visible at the far left. No readable signage establishes the event, and no figure is clearly identifiable as a person.

A night-time photo of a group of devotees walking along a dirt road lit by a streetlamp, with palm trees and dark foliage around them. Most wear white traditional clothing, and several wear lanyard badges. In front, a woman on the left wears a white sari with a yellow shawl and carries a book, a man in the centre wears a white cap and white dhoti, and young men on the right wear white shirts and dhotis. There is no clear visible a person candidate in the group.

A photograph of a long line of men in white ritual clothes standing along a dirt road lined with palm and leafy trees, forming a procession route. Many wear white shirts and white dhotis, and several have rudraksha malas around their necks. A thatched-roof hut stands at right, with a framed portrait on its wall. A small child in white and another in red stand near the front of the line. Some men have arms folded, and one older man at right holds a phone. Further along the road, an orange-robed figure stands among the white-clad people.

Men in white shirts and white dhotis walk in the centre, many carrying bags, and several saffron-robed sannyasis in orange and red cloth walk among them. Devotees in white and a woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl stand at the left, while people line the right side of the path. A blue-and-white stage structure is visible at the far left.

Night photo of a crowd of devotees queuing on a dirt ground at an outdoor event. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; some wear rudraksha malas around their necks. A woman in a yellow salwar kameez with a dupatta stands in the foreground beside a man in a bright blue shirt. A man in the front right, wearing a white shirt and a rudraksha mala, presses his palms together. Behind them stands a tall stack of black speaker cabinets draped with green cloth, and a large projection screen and white flags are visible at the right edge. Floodlights illuminate the scene against dark trees.

Outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees standing on dusty sandy ground under dense green trees at an ashram gathering. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis or mundus, and several carry small books or bottles. Women in white and cream saris and one pale pink sari stand among them, one holding a small handbag. A low brick structure and wooden corner are visible at right. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no appearance-based claim is made.
