Green mango leaves hang on a string across the top of the room, a white wall and wooden cupboard are behind them, and an orange cloth lies on the floor at left.

A photograph of a shaved-headed... wait, correction: the central figure has long dark hair swept back, a white vibhuti mark and red kumkum bindi on the forehead, and wears an orange-saffron sleeveless wrap over a red inner garment. He stands barefoot in a namaste gesture with palms pressed together and eyes lowered, on a light tiled floor before a brown wooden door. Behind him on the left, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and yellow-orange lanyard also stands with hands folded in namaste beside a white plastic chair. An orange cloth lies on the floor at the left edge, and a metal stand with cables stands at right.

A photograph inside a hall with white walls and a white draped ceiling valance. In the right foreground a man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe stands with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes lowered. Behind him and to the left, a group of devotees stand with hands folded in namaskar: a man in a striped checked shirt and white dhoti, men in white kurta and off-white clothing, a man in a striped black-and-white top with a lanyard, and a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl. Orange cushions and water bottles lie on the floor, and a yellow and multicoloured hanging cloth hangs from the ceiling.

Standing behind them, a bald man in an orange robe with maroon trim holds his hands in anjali mudra, eyes lowered. Beside him, another man in orange with a beaded necklace smiles and gazes down at the kneeling group.

A man in a sleeveless orange saffron robe stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling with eyes closed, a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him two men in white clothes stand with hands joined in prayer, one in a white shirt with a lanyard and light blue trousers, the other in white. A white draped canopy hangs overhead, a door opens onto daylight, and a black speaker, a standing fan and a light stand with a softbox are visible. An orange mat lies on the floor in front. The page indicates a person was at this event, but the robed figure's appearance alone does not establish that, so identity is left uncertain.
