Outdoor gathering at an ashram courtyard with a hexagonal tiled floor, where a large seated crowd in white clothes faces a raised platform on the left. Several people in front wear white dhotis and kurtas and sit with palms pressed together in prayer or attentive listening. A cameraman in white stands at the upper left filming. On the left, a striped pink-and-green cloth covers a low platform with ritual items, beside a red-and-white painted pedestal. Palm trees, orange-roofed buildings and a black speaker with a blue top sit in the background, with a red-painted shrine structure behind the crowd.

A photograph of a group seated outdoors on a circular red-and-cream tiled platform in front of a white-washed building with a blue metal gate and a tiled wall panel, palm trees behind a chain-link fence. Three figures sit at the centre: a man in white on the left, a bald man in white, and a person in a saffron-orange shawl with a white garment and rudraksha-style beads. A circle of women in colourful saris (pink, orange, teal, and a white sari) and a child sit around them, with a bald older man in a grey shirt. The saffron-shawled figure has no distinctive long hair, crown or ornate cues, so identity is uncertain; the scene reads as a sitting circle, possibly a relief-distribution or community gathering.

Outdoor ashram scene under coconut palms during a padapuja session. Devotees in white clothes with yellow shawls sit on a paved courtyard facing a raised stone platform. A standing man in white dhoti and shawl, with a bare upper body and beaded necklace, stands at the right near a pillar, and an older man in white stands behind the platform. A row of small figures and deity murtis sits along a low wall, a yellow canopy hangs on the left, and orange-roofed buildings frame the background. A woman in an orange sari sits near the front, and a row of seated attendees in white fills the foreground.

Outdoor ritual on a veranda of a garden with tropical shrubs and trees. A shirtless man in an orange cloth sits cross-legged on a red-carpeted platform at the right, beside a wooden swing hung with chains and a wooden door. Before him, a seated group in white and orange clothing listens; several women in white with orange shawls sit on a grey step at left. A standing man in white and orange, holding a ceremonial object, stands at left near a striped umbrella, and a brass vessel with a green plant sits on the platform. A camera on a tripod is visible at left.

Outdoor group meditation at an ashram courtyard under coconut palms. Foreground devotees sit cross-legged on woven mats, mostly women in teal, pink, white and blue salwar or saris, with some wearing white head veils. Behind them, several people in white robes sit in a row of white-clad practitioners, and a figure in orange robes sits centrally on a mat between circular stone-ringed meditation spots. A tall copper pillar with a flame-like finial stands beside white stepped platforms. Small white and red-trimmed buildings with tin roofs line the background.

A large outdoor gathering under a green shade sheet, with a tiled-roof building behind. Many people in orange and saffron robes sit on mats and white cloth, with a few in white dhotis and a bare-chested man in the foreground. A cameraman in orange stands at right holding a camera. Near the center, a robed figure stands by a small raised altar with a fan and a fire pit with smoke. Marigold garlands hang from a canopy frame. Two sound speakers sit at left.

Outdoor photo of a satsang session under a green mesh canopy. Many women and a few men in orange and white clothes sit on mats and white slabs on bare ground, facing a small tiled-roof pavilion decorated with flower garlands and a striped cloth. A figure in orange stands at the pavilion speaking into a microphone, a camera on a tripod records the scene, and trident-shaped ritual poles stand at the right side of the white building. Several attendees hold phones and a green tree lines the left edge.

Outdoor ashram gathering under a corrugated roof with gold ring-shaped poles, palm trees and orange-walled buildings behind. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a red border stands centrally with hands joined in namaste, addressing seated devotees. Many seated people wear white clothes; a woman in a red and brown sari sits at left, and a woman in a blue head covering sits nearby. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at right, and a light-haired woman in a pink top sits in the middle right. A row of small white stupa-like shapes lines the ground behind the group. No candidate's appearance meets the cue threshold for a person, so the speaker is described by role only.
