Interior of a plain hall with pale green walls, a corrugated metal roof, ceiling fans, and a grey tiled floor. A small group of about six people stands in the centre: a man in white with a yellow shawl, a woman in an orange-red sari, a woman in a white salwar suit, and others in white clothes with beaded necklaces. A framed picture hangs near the doorway. A desk with a computer and a green-draped table are at left, with a wall shelf unit beside them.

Interior photograph of a wooden-pillared corridor in a traditional palace, with dark polished floor, carved wooden ceiling panels and arched windows. A tall man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks in front, with long dark hair, bare feet and a bright orange tilak on his forehead; he is described as Swamiji (probable) on the basis of his saffron ornate clothing and long swept-back hair. Behind him a man in white with an orange shawl follows, and a camera operator in white with an orange shawl films. A woman in a white embroidered salwar kameez with sunglasses walks beside them, and a smiling woman in a red blouse and turquoise sari stands at right. A stone statue stands in an alcove at center-right.

A group of people walks in a single file across a hall with a matted floor and pale grey strip, toward the right side of the frame. A woman in the centre wears a black jacket over a white and silver sari, and a woman in front right holds her palms together in namaste while wearing an orange robe and rudraksha mala. Several men in saffron and orange robes with beaded necklaces walk behind, and two men in white dhoti and shirt walk at the front and right edge. Yellow curtains hang at the windows, wall fans are mounted on the walls, and white plastic chairs stand against the far wall. The scene is a photograph of a visit to a hall with a procession-like walk.

A photo of an indoor office or administrative room with a corrugated metal roof, white walls, grey steel filing cabinets and wooden desks holding laptops, a printer and telephone. A man in long swept-back hair, orange clothing and a rudraksha mala stands at centre, gesturing toward a desk, with a woman in a white sari and orange shawl at left. Around him, a group of saffron-robed sannyasis, bald monks, an elderly bearded man in white, a man in a teal turban and other devotees stand and watch. Shelves of books line the right wall. The scene looks like a staff briefing or tour of the ashram office during a medical camp period.

Indoor hall with a corrugated roof and ceiling fans, where a standing woman in a white kurta with a saffron-orange shawl speaks to a seated group. About a dozen seated people sit on striped mats, many in white clothing, some with name badges. On the right a woman in a pink and cream sari sits on a red chair, facing the group, holding a microphone. Wooden cabinets, a shelf, and a doorway with light are visible at the back of the room. No a person candidate is visible.

Photograph inside an open-sided shed with a concrete floor and corrugated roof, where devotees in white dhotis and white saris with gold borders, many with orange shawls, walk and move between rows of woven mats laid out on the floor. A wooden carved chair stands at the left edge. A man in white with an orange shawl bends forward at centre, a woman in a white sari holds hands with another devotee, and a woman in a white sari with an orange shawl carries a large woven object. Behind them, concrete blocks are stacked against a wall. At right, a woman in a green blouse and patterned sari stands separately. No figure in the scene clearly qualifies as the a person candidate by appearance, so no identity is asserted.

An indoor photograph of a tiled room with a wooden desk, red chairs, a white box fan in the foreground and a ceiling fan above. Several people in orange (saffron) robes walk in a line across the floor, some wearing orange shawls and others yellow scarves over white kurtas. On the right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands watching. A plain wall partition with frosted panels forms the background. Nearby desk items include papers and a small object on the table.

Indoor hall with a thatched roof, exposed rafters, ceiling fans and tube lights, and white walls with orange curtains at the back. A standing crowd of devotees in white clothes, some in white sarees and dhotis, others wearing orange scarves, is clapping with hands together. Many have their feet bare on the orange-brown tiled floor, and mats are laid out. At the right, a woman in white with an orange shawl stands at a raised platform holding a microphone, apparently leading the group. A small orange-shawled child stands in the foreground beside a woman in a rust-coloured kurta. No a person candidate is visibly present; the leader is a woman and no figure has the cues needed for identification.

A photograph inside a bare, pale pink-walled hall with a white fabric ceiling canopy and a bare concrete floor. Three people in saffron-orange robes stand on the floor, and a man in a white shirt and white trousers stands at left with his hands on his hips. The saffron-robed figure at right, with shoulder-length dark hair and a draped orange cloth, gestures with one hand while speaking, and another saffron-robed figure with long hair stands in front with his back partly turned. Behind them a worker is visible in a doorway. Nothing in the image is readable as a ritual act.
