A photograph of a long queue of devotees standing in a single line along a dirt path beside a red and white striped wall and a potted plant. Many people wear white ritual clothing, including white shirts, white dhotis and white saris, with some in orange, green and multicoloured saris and salwars. Some carry shoulder bags and plastic bags. Tall green trees and a water tank stand behind them under an overcast sky.

Outdoor photograph of a large crowd walking along a dusty unpaved road lined with green trees, with an orange-painted building with a green roof and a black water tank behind them. Most walkers wear white clothing, including white shirts, dhotis and white saris, while others wear orange, yellow and red. A child in a grey dress walks at the left edge holding a plastic bag. A few men in white at the center front lead the group. Fenced plots and a palm tree line the roadside. No single figure can be identified as a person from the visible frame, so the crowd is described by clothing and activity only.

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.

A photograph of a long line of devotees standing under a corrugated metal roof at an outdoor ritual gathering. Men wear white shirts and white dhotis with rudraksha malas, and women wear white saris with gold borders, one in a pink sari and a girl in a yellow-pink floral dress. Several people fold their hands in namaskar. In the background, two saffron-robed monks stand near a small shrine area with brass vessels and lamps on a green mat, with a monk in saffron further back. A young girl offers something to a small brass lamp on the floor while a child in a white shirt stands beside an adult woman. Concrete block walls and a speaker are visible.

Outdoor photograph of two long lines of devotees standing on both sides of a dusty unpaved dirt road under a cloudy sky, with trees, low hills and a distant town on the horizon. On the left, men wear white dhotis and shirts, one shaved-headed man in a white shirt has a red-orange shawl over his shoulder, and another man wears a tan shirt and jeans. On the right, women wear white and cream saris, a yellow-bordered sari and a blue salwar outfit, with light blue and teal garments among them. Some are holding small items. A figure in orange clothing stands further down the road.

A dusty dirt road lined with trees and wooden fence posts carries a large crowd of people walking away from the camera in a procession. Most wear white clothing: men in white shirts and white trousers, women in white saris and some in orange or yellow saris. A small child in a grey dress walks in the foreground. Behind them stands an orange-walled building with a green roof, and an orange flag flies on a pole. A black water tank and utility poles stand along the road.

Outdoor photo on a dirt path shaded by green trees, with a long line of devotees standing on both sides. In the foreground a young woman in a white sari with a gold border and an orange shawl holds a tray with white flower garlands. Behind her a row of men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with white ritual scarves, stand near a white-covered table. On the right, women in white and orange saris stand facing the path, and an elderly woman in a white sari stands on the path. A small child in a pink shirt stands beside the tray. The scene looks like a ceremonial welcome lined up along an ashram road, and no clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

Outdoor serving line on dirt ground beneath leafy trees. A long queue of devotees, mostly in white clothes, some in teal, pink and orange, stands with plates. On the right, volunteers in white kurta-style clothing serve food from steel pots on a maroon-draped table. A small orange-walled building with a tiled roof is at right, and a man in white stands in its doorway. Many people are visible, some partially cut off at the edges.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard with a paved hexagonal walkway and sandy ground, lined with simple white buildings, palm trees and a banana leaf at the upper right. A large group of devotees stands in a loose line, mostly dressed in white kurtas and white salwar or saris, with some women in green, orange and pale saris and a few boys wearing beaded necklaces. A woman in a white sari with a red and gold border stands at the left foreground, facing the group. A man in white walks across the left side, and a few figures in white stand near the doorway at the back right. No specific ritual is clearly visible in the frame.
