Several young boys in saffron-orange shawls and white body markings stand outdoors, sharing handfuls of yellow food. A boy on the right with long dark hair, a white forehead band with red dot, a rudraksha mala and a pendant feeds a younger boy at left, who laughs with his mouth open. Older saffron-clad participants with rudraksha malas stand in the background, and a red-clad figure is visible at far right. The scene reads as a ritual food offering procession.

A seated group of young men in saffron-orange robes and matching orange turbans sits on white mats at a long meal setting, with banana leaves and small paper cups in front of them. The central man with long dreadlocks and rudraksha beads holds a microphone and speaks while others listen; he wears a red thread bracelet and gold bangles. Several participants have white and grey ash markings on their chests and arms. Behind them, a few people in white clothes sit near a table, and a red cloth covers a table at the back.

A photograph of a group of young boys seated cross-legged on the floor in orange monastic-style cloth, with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas around their necks. Two boys in the foreground sit close together, the one at centre holding a handheld microphone and singing or speaking, while the boy beside him gestures with his hand. Small white cups and food on green leaf plates are arranged before the group. Blurred heads of other attendees appear in the lower foreground.

A group of young children and teenagers in saffron-orange cloth sit cross-legged on a white floor with green and pink mats, many with white vibhuti bands across their foreheads and rudraksha malas. A girl with long braided hair in the centre holds a microphone and speaks. Beside her a young boy in an orange wrap sits near a man with long hair and a dark bindi-style mark, wearing a rudraksha mala and orange cloth, while a boy in orange sits to the right. Paper cups stand on the mats in the foreground.

A seated row of young boys and teenagers in saffron-orange robes and matching orange turbans sits on the floor, cross-legged on banana leaves set with small white cups. Several wear wooden rudraksha malas and thin gold chains; some have white ash lines on their bare chests and arms. Behind them a white-clad figure stands near a steel counter. The mood is an ashram meal setting, with figures looking to the side as if listening or waiting.

Several young people in saffron-orange cloth sit cross-legged on a white floor during a ritual. Their chests are bare and marked with white ash stripes, and they wear rudraksha malas. Long dreadlocked hair and white tilak marks on their foreheads are visible. In front of them are brass plates, small oil lamps, incense sticks and offerings, with a yellow container nearby. The boy at centre holds an offering and appears to be chanting. Others in the background are also seated in orange clothes. This looks like a puja or abhishekam scene.

A photograph of young male sannyasi-style disciples seated cross-legged on low silver-topped platforms during a ritual. They wear orange-saffron robes and white vertical marks on their foreheads; several wear dark rudraksha malas. Brass bells, oil lamps, small brass cups, plates of fruit and sweets, and white flowers sit before them on the platforms. One boy in the foreground has his hands folded, eyes closed, while others look forward or sit with bowed heads. Behind them, orange-clad figures and a few spectators are partly visible against a light background. No central figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the scene shows disciples in a puja or satsang setting.
