Photo of a group of young boys seated on the floor at a satsang, wearing maroon sleeveless kurta-style garments trimmed with gold-yellow bands. Several have white ash marks on their foreheads and wooden rudraksha-style beads around their necks. One boy on the right rests his chin on his hand, while others look forward attentively. Behind them, adult devotees sit, including a woman in a white and red sari at upper left and a man in a white shirt at top center. A small girl in a maroon outfit with gold trim sits in the foreground. The setting is an indoor hall with white walls and windows.

A photograph of a puja at the ashram. Several young boys in maroon garments edged with gold sit cross-legged in rows, several holding lit oil lamps and small brass lamps. The boy in front centre raises a lamp with a red tilak on his forehead, while others in the background, some bare-chested, are seated among blurred devotees in saffron and white. No appearance-based candidate for a person is clearly identifiable in the frame.

Several young boys in maroon robes with gold-yellow trim sit cross-legged in rows during a ritual at a tented pavilion. Several are bare-chested, and some wear white tilak on their foreheads. In the foreground a boy leans forward to tend small brass oil lamps and ritual vessels on a low tray, with flames lit. Behind them, more participants in maroon sit under white and red tent fabric and hanging ropes. The scene appears to be a padapuja-style ritual with lamps.

Photograph of young boys seated closely together in a devotional gathering. The central boy wears a sleeveless maroon kurta with gold trim and a small pendant on a cord, and has a white vibhuti band with a red kumkum dot on his forehead. He sits upright with hands folded, gazing forward. To the right, another smiling boy in a maroon garment with gold border and a red bead necklace shows a white forehead mark. Blurred figures in white and pink clothing and a green container with offerings appear at the edges, with orange cloth on the floor behind.

A photograph of a seated group of young boys and men in a ritual hall, mostly in maroon and saffron robes. Several have white and red forehead markings and rudraksha malas; a boy in front wears a maroon robe with gold trim, and a boy on the right wears maroon with a gold waistband and touches his cheek. Behind them, older men in saffron and white sit with hands folded, and brass puja plates and vessels rest on a low platform. The setting appears to be a devotional ceremony, with a red-and-orange cloth in the background. No individual can be identified as a person from appearance alone.
