Crowded seated devotional gathering with a central man in white dhoti and cloth, brown rudraksha mala around his neck, eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaskar. Nearby, a man in a saffron-brown garment with a long gold necklace sits behind him, and several devotees with white tilak on their foreheads and women in saris or glasses are seated in the blurred foreground. Deep red drapes form the backdrop. The page links this to the 40th Avatardinotsava celebration, but the central man's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm a person's presence.

A photograph of a seated devotional gathering with many people in the foreground. In the centre, a man with short black hair, closed eyes and palms pressed together in anjali sits in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead. Beside him a woman in white with glasses and a red-bead mala also sits with eyes lowered. Behind them, several people wear white and yellow-bordered clothing, white horizontal forehead marks and beaded necklaces. A red and blue draped backdrop fills the background. Blurred heads in the lower foreground frame the image.

Three seated men in white dhotis with orange-and-cream shawls printed with dark script face a monk in orange robes and an orange turban at left, who is also seated and turned toward them. The man at right has long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a beard, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial pendant, with eyes closed and hands folded. The man in the centre wears a rudraksha mala and beaded jewellery, and the man at left has a bare upper body with a shawl. Behind them a large screen and a bright hall with seated devotees in orange appear. The scene looks like a satsang or meditation session.

A devotional gathering where people sit with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. A central man with wavy dark hair, a dark beard, a red-orange tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a small silver earring looks upward with lips parted, bare-chested. Behind him a man in a red and white shawl also holds his hands in prayer. Women in pink and purple saris with red kumkum marks sit in the foreground. The scene appears to be a satsang or puja setting.

A seated devotional gathering in a hall with red-brown mats. In the foreground, a bearded man with a red bindi wears a white dhoti and white top with a long rudraksha mala and an orange-trimmed pendant, his hands folded. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti and white kurta with a rudraksha mala sits attentively. Further left, a shirtless man with long dark hair and a brown rudraksha mala sits cross-legged, and a man in cream clothes with glasses and a rudraksha mala has his palms pressed together. Behind them, women in green, blue, red and yellow saris sit among the audience. No candidate with the distinctive long swept hair, crown or saffron robes is clearly identifiable, so the a person candidate is uncertain.

Crowded indoor satsang with devotees seated close together against red and blue drapery. In the centre, a man with short dark hair, a red bindi and a rudraksha mala with a white shawl sits with palms pressed together in anjali. Beside him a woman in glasses and a red bindi also has hands folded, and others wear white and cream garments with gold borders. Several men near the back have white tripundra markings on their foreheads and wear rudraksha malas and brown robes. Foreground heads are blurred. Whether the central man is a person is uncertain; no distinctive presentation cues are clearly visible.

Behind him, other devotees in orange and white clothing sit with their heads bowed, including a man with a white-painted forehead and glasses. The setting is a bright outdoor courtyard with a terracotta-coloured wall in the background.
