A close-up photograph of several shaved-headed monastic men in saffron-orange and red robes seated in a row during a devotional gathering. They wear orange-red rudraksha and beaded necklaces, white sandalwood or ash markings on their foreheads and arms, and some wear glasses. Their eyes are closed or lowered, and the man on the right has his palms joined in anjali. Behind them hang a deep red curtain and an orange flag. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the a person field is none.2013-03-16Photograph of several saffron-robed sannyasis seated closely together on a floor during a satsang or meditation. The foreground man wears a red-orange shawl with rudraksha malas, a red bindi and a white horizontal vibhuti band on his forehead, and has white ash marks on his arms. Beside him a man in a red-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala and white forehead and arm markings sits with eyes lowered, and to the right a man with hands folded in namaste sits in a saffron shawl with rudraksha beads. Other seated devotees in orange and red robes with forehead ash fill the background, with red curtains and a white wall behind them.2013-05-02Close row of saffron-robed men seated in a temple hall with red walls, facing right.

Most wear rudraksha malas across their chests and shoulders, and white horizontal tripundra marks on their foreheads and arms. Several have shaved heads, and one at the front left wears glasses. Their hands are folded in front of them, and brass puja items with flowers sit on a low table at the right edge. Behind them, a man in white clothes and an orange-robed figure sit as observers.
