A photograph of a line of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis walking indoors across a glossy tiled floor, several holding red cloth strips or red-banded lengths in their hands. Some wear small badges on their shirts and thin necklaces. The men are barefoot or sandalless; a lit altar area with pink and red decoration is visible at the upper left. No individual can be confidently matched to a named leader from appearance, so all are described by role as devotees in ceremonial white.

A photograph of a long queue of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis standing in a line across a polished tiled hall with cream walls. The men face away from the camera toward a table at the far right, where a woman in a white sari with a coloured border stands beside it. A wicker basket sits against the wall at right, and a framed picture hangs high on the back wall. No a person candidate is visibly present in the scene.

A photograph of a large group of men standing in a open-sided covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and bare brick walls. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, many with rudraksha malas around their necks; several stand with hands folded in namaskar or clasped at the waist, and some have arms crossed. Light streams in from a bright opening at the back, with a few more people visible beyond. No one present is wearing saffron or a crown, and no one's appearance supports identifying a specific individual, so the figures are described by role only as devotees in white.

A photograph of a line of men standing barefoot on a pale tiled floor inside a hall with pink walls and framed photographs. Most wear white dhotis with gold-yellow borders and are bare-chested, some with sacred threads and beaded malas, and several have vertical white forehead markings. A man in an orange t-shirt with an ID lanyard stands near the centre, and an older man in a cream shirt and white dhoti with a white moustache stands beside him. Several people in the line have arms folded. A red carpet is visible at the right edge.

A large group of devotees stands in a row in a courtyard with a brick-paved floor and a tall wall behind them, many wearing white kurtas, shirts and dhotis and long red-orange beaded garlands. Several men in the foreground wear identity badges on their garlands, and one man at the right in a white shirt holds a blue cloth. Behind them stands a gilded ornamental frame and a wooden podium.

A large group of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis stands in rows on a red carpet beneath a tented ceiling with bare ceiling lights and draped pale curtains. Several men wear orange or saffron shawls over their shoulders, and some have identification badges clipped to their shirts. A woman with long dark curly hair and an orange garment is partly visible at the lower left. Most men stand barefoot, smiling and facing the camera, with their hands clasped or resting at their sides. No single figure is identified as a person.

Several have lanyards around their necks and they stand barefoot on a polished marble floor, quietly waiting in line.
