An outdoor photograph of a group of devotees standing in a row on a paved courtyard beside a palm-lined garden, with several large grey stone sculptures behind them, including a seated deity figure. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis, one man in a striped shirt and brown trousers stands with arms folded, and a woman in a white sari stands at the left. Several men on the right hold long wind instruments, and rows of sandals rest on the sand in the foreground. A line of devotees stands in quiet attention.

Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or white kurtas; one man in front wears a white kurta with a rudraksha-style mala and a man at right holds a long wooden pole with a wrapped waist cloth. Others wear light shirts and jeans or grey shirts. Rows of sandals lie on the ground below. Behind them stand a grey stone deity murti and carved stone figures among palm trees and plants.

Outdoor photo at a temple-like site under bright morning light with palm trees behind. A bald man in white dhoti and a white upper cloth stands on bare ground, holding a bundle of orange cloth, facing a younger man in a saffron/orange dhoti and orange upper cloth wearing a white flower garland and a red-and-white garland, who extends his hands toward a stone deity murti with a multi-hooded serpent carved above it. A row of standing men in white dhotis and white shirts, some in blue checked shirts, press their palms together in namaskar and watch. Marigold and multicoloured flower garlands hang on the carved stone figure, and petals lie on the ground. Haze drifts through the air near a grey sculpture on the right.

Outdoor photo of a group of devotees standing barefoot on a grey concrete path beside a red brick wall and lush green foliage, a pole light on the left. In the foreground a woman in a white embroidered outfit with a pink shoulder bag and red floral top presses her palms together. Behind her a man in white kurta with a lanyard badge stands with hands folded, next to a boy in white chikan kurta with hands joined in namaste. Further back a bare-chested man wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a mala, and other people in white clothing stand quietly, facing forward in a moment of darshan.

Outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees standing on dusty sandy ground under dense green trees at an ashram gathering. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis or mundus, and several carry small books or bottles. Women in white and cream saris and one pale pink sari stand among them, one holding a small handbag. A low brick structure and wooden corner are visible at right. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no appearance-based claim is made.
