A photograph of two people seated cross-legged on a red patterned mat at a stage with microphones on stands. A man on the left wears a white dhoti with gold borders, a white shawl, a dark rudraksha mala, gold bangles and white sandalwood markings on his forehead and arms, and reads from a sheet of paper. Beside him a woman in an orange sari with a red blouse, a dark rudraksha mala and a small forehead mark sits with her hands folded in her lap, eyes lowered. Behind them is a red and white draped backdrop with garlands. The setting appears to be a discourse or satsang.

A photograph of a seated man in white ritual dress with a gold-edged white dhoti and wrap, sitting with hands joined in namaskar. He wears white tripundra marks on the forehead, white ash stripes on his arm and chest, a rudraksha mala, and a gold bangle. Beside him a woman in orange robes with a red-orange forehead mark sits at a microphone stand holding papers open in her lap. Behind them a large banner reads DHYANA, in orange and white. The setting appears to be a stage or hall. The man's appearance does not clearly match the candidate cues, so he is described by role only as a ritual participant.

A photograph of two people seated cross-legged on a red patterned mat before two microphones on stands, reciting in a devotional setting. A man on the left wears a white dhoti with gold border, bare upper body with white ash markings on his arms, a dark rudraksha mala around his neck and a red-brown bead bracelet, with white tilak on his forehead. Beside him a woman in a gold-bordered cream blouse and white sari with a red shawl across her shoulder holds her palms together and holds an open book. Behind them a painted deity figure in red garments and bare feet stands against a colourful temple backdrop. The page indicates a Bhagavad-Gita satsang context, but the visible scene shows chanting before microphones with no clear a person candidate.

Beside him, a woman in a red sari with folded hands also faces the same direction. Behind them is a golden deity murti or ornate golden structure, and in front are open chant books on a stand. The setting appears to be a temple or satsang hall with painted panels and red garlands.
