A photograph of a group of about a dozen people standing in a line on a bare dirt clearing at dusk, with dense green trees behind them. Most wear white dhotis and saris, some with yellow or orange shawls; several in the centre and right wear saffron/orange robes. The figure on the far right in white raises an object overhead, and the people appear to be standing in quiet devotional posture. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly distinguishable by appearance, so roles are given instead: devotees and sannyasis in white and saffron.

Several men in plain white kurta-pyjama and white t-shirts stand in a loose group, some in a kabaddi-style game, with a figure in the center stepping forward amid dust. A man in an orange robe stands among the white-clad group on the right, and a man in a light blue shirt with a lanyard stands at left. A small wooden table and a purple kite sit in the background.

Outdoors on a bare dirt ground, a line of roughly twenty people in white clothing stand facing forward with palms pressed together in anjali. Many wear white kurtas or shirts with white dhotis or lungis, and several women wear white saris, some with orange or saffron stoles draped over their shoulders. Behind them are tall trees, a few palm trees, a large grey boulder and a rocky hill under a pale sky, with strings of small white bunting across the background. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.

A wide photograph of an open dirt field at dusk with scattered trees along the far edge and a pale overcast sky. Thirty or more children in white t-shirts and grey or dark shorts run, crouch, sit and stand across the ground, several wearing purple caps. A few adults in white and dark clothing walk among them near the left side. The children appear to be at a Little Anandas residential youth program. Faint lines are strung between trees in the background.

Outdoor photo of a group of about 30 people in white clothing practising an arm-raising exercise on a bare dirt ground. Most participants wear white kurtas or white saris and white tunics, many with orange shawls or orange sashes draped over the shoulders. Arms are raised overhead with palms together. A single figure at the front centre, in white with an orange shawl, faces the group and leads the movement. Behind them stand scattered trees, a low white building and a partly built concrete block structure under a pale sky.

A group of about twenty people walks across a dry, dusty open field toward a line of green trees and palms, with low hills on the horizon under a pale evening sky. Most walkers wear white dhotis and saris; the central figure in front wears an orange-saffron robe and walks with an orange-clad companion beside him. Another person in white carries a bag and photographs the group from the right. The group appears to be on a walk.

Outdoor photo of a group of about 25 people in white clothing performing a coordinated movement exercise on a bare dirt ground. Many wear white kurta-style tunics and white dhoti-like pants, and several have orange sashes or orange shawls draped over their shoulders. They stand in a loose circle with arms extended outward, some turning or stepping. Behind them are a concrete block wall on the left, tall trees, palms, a low hill and a strand of bunting across the background, under a pale sky.

A photograph of a large group of people doing a standing yoga or stretching exercise on a bare dirt field outdoors. Most participants wear white loose clothing and white dhoti-style wraps with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, arms raised overhead and bodies bent backward. Behind them are trees, a rocky hill, a low building and a string of white decorative bunting. The group appears to be around twenty people, all facing the same direction in organized rows.

Wide outdoor photo at dusk of an open dirt field at an ashram compound, with a warm sunset sky and low tile-roofed buildings behind. Several people in white clothes walk and stand across the ground; a man in white kurta and dhoti stands near a tall pole with a lamp, and a woman in a long white dress walks in the centre. Two people in a rust-red kurta and white dhoti, and others in dark clothes, stroll further back. A woman in a white sari stands at the right edge beside a small roadside sign. Some people on the left wear white tops and shorts, and a few parked white vehicles sit in the distance.

Dusk outdoor photo on a dirt road beside a lit building and a dark hedge. A large group of children and young people in white clothes stands in loose rows facing right toward an adult in a dark tracksuit who gestures. A figure in a saffron-orange robe stands among them near the centre, with a shaved head, and a woman in white stands at the left. A man in a light shirt holds a camera at left. A small blue road sign and a red STOP sign stand at right, with a striped barrier arm overhead.
