A photograph of a line of men in white ritual clothing standing in a hall with a tiled floor, several with palms pressed together in namaste. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, with sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads. One man in front wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace and an identity badge on a lanyard, and another wears a white shirt with a badge. Behind them, other white-clad people stand or sit, and a framed picture is visible on the wall.

A row of men in white ritual clothes stands in an indoor hall before a large gold-framed deity murti and ornate golden structures. Several men wear white kurtas and dhotis with rudraksha malas; one on the left wears a badge pinned to his shirt showing a photograph of a bearded man in a white turban. A large portrait of a smiling woman with long dark hair is partly visible on the left. Many of the men have arms folded, and the scene appears to be a gathering of ordained healers at an ashram event. Blue-grey and white shirts also appear among the group.

Photograph of a group of men standing before a deep orange-red draped backdrop at what appears to be an event. The man on the left wears a white shirt with a red bindi on his forehead, a black rudraksha mala, and a pen in his shirt pocket, and has a badge pinned to his chest. Beside him a man in a pink-and-white checked shirt looks to the side. On the right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds a dark rudraksha mala with one hand and wears a gold bracelet and a name badge; a man in a light shirt stands behind him. Faces are turned upward and sideways.

A photograph of a crowd of devotees standing in a hall dressed in white. In the centre, a man with grey hair and a white shirt and dhoti stands with hands clasped in front, wearing a long rudraksha-style mala and a black cord necklace with a pendant. To his right, a devotee in white with a red-orange mala and a red tilak on his forehead stands with folded hands. Others behind join palms in anjali. Behind them, framed pictures hang on the walls, and a tiered display of sanctified items is visible at left. No one in the scene has long hair, a crown, or saffron robes, so no candidate is identified on appearance.

A photograph of a group of men standing in a row inside a temple hall with carved wooden pillars and a pale wall. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, and some have rudraksha malas around their necks. A man in front right wears a white-and-grey checked shirt and a long rudraksha mala, with a small pendant, and a man beside him has white vibhuti marks on his forehead. Several younger men and a boy wear white clothes and identification badges. The men look toward the left, and a carved stone figure is partly visible at the right edge.

Foreground, a man on the right in a white shirt and white dhoti wears a rudraksha mala and has white vibhuti marks on his forehead. Beside him, a younger man in a peach shirt wears an orange scarf and gold bracelet and smiles toward the camera. Behind them, a man in a striped shirt and a man in a checked shirt with an ID badge stand in line, and many men in white shirts and white dhotis stand farther back. The hall has dim ceiling lights and a warm orange glow in the background.

A photograph of a large group of men standing in a open-sided covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and bare brick walls. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, many with rudraksha malas around their necks; several stand with hands folded in namaskar or clasped at the waist, and some have arms crossed. Light streams in from a bright opening at the back, with a few more people visible beyond. No one present is wearing saffron or a crown, and no one's appearance supports identifying a specific individual, so the figures are described by role only as devotees in white.

A photograph of a group of men in plain white ritual clothing standing in a line on a raised stage. Most wear white shirts or kurtas with white dhotis and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, and several are barefoot. Behind them hangs a dark blue curtain with a red velvet drape above, a colourful striped garland edge at right, and a small gold deity murti on a stand at lower right. A tall-backed chair and a small television sit at the left edge against a pale block wall with a blue 'NO MOBILE' sign. The men appear to be devotees attending an ananda samajam gathering.
