A group of men in white shirts and white dhotis stand close together, most wearing rudraksha malas, as they reach toward a shallow metal tray held by a bald, older man in white dhoti and shirt with a beaded mala at the centre. Several hands extend over the tray, which appears to be offered or presented. Behind them is a deep red curtain. A man on the right wears a white shirt with a lanyard and a short-sleeved shirt-wearer on the left wears a blue-and-white striped polo. Two people are visible on the edges.

A group of men in white shirts and white dhotis stand closely together on a stage before a dark red curtain. Several hold a silver plate in the centre, and a man in a plain white shirt and white dhoti holds a silver plate, with a mala around his neck. Others around him wear white shirts with blue lanyards. A white pedestal fan stands at the left edge and an orange chair is visible at the right. No figure is identifiable as a person from appearance cues.

A photograph of a group of men in plain white ritual clothing standing in a line on a raised stage. Most wear white shirts or kurtas with white dhotis and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, and several are barefoot. Behind them hangs a dark blue curtain with a red velvet drape above, a colourful striped garland edge at right, and a small gold deity murti on a stand at lower right. A tall-backed chair and a small television sit at the left edge against a pale block wall with a blue 'NO MOBILE' sign. The men appear to be devotees attending an ananda samajam gathering.

A photograph of a ceremonial offering at an open-sided shelter with a corrugated metal roof and festive tassels overhead. Six men in white dhotis and shirts stand in a row, several with rudraksha malas and vibhuti on their foreheads, holding a white cloth bundle filled with pink, yellow and orange flower petals and garlands. On the right, a long-haired figure in orange robes and a white and red flower garland receives the offering, smiling, with hands extended. Seated devotees fill the background.

A photograph of five men in plain white shirts seated and standing at a counter with brass knobbed rails and open wooden trays holding small items. Several wear white vibhuti or sacred ash marks on their foreheads. A man in the foreground with a moustache looks down, while others look toward the right. In the background, a bare-chested priest in an orange-and-saffron cloth with rudraksha beads and a folded white cloth stands near a mirrored wall with framed pictures. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the figure in the background is a priest, not a person candidate.

A photograph of several men conversing indoors in a pale pink hall. On the right, a long-haired man in a red-orange shawl with a gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha-style beads stands with palms pressed together, smiling and speaking. Probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange shawl and ornate gold necklace are the qualifying cues, shown as the figure being engaged in conversation. Facing him on the left, a man in white shirt and black mala gestures with his hands, and a bald man in a cream shirt with a red and gold pendant listens. Other men in white dhoti-style clothing stand behind them in the background.
