Outdoor welcome at a white-walled building with a green corrugated roof and red-tiled awnings. Several women in white saris and orange-bordered sashes stand at left holding a basket of white flowers and a silver lamp or vessel, with garlands near the table. Center, a woman in white with a long necklace of beads smiles and holds hands with a man in white. Right, a man in saffron-orange robes and a long-haired figure in orange stands among devotees in white, and red and orange flags are visible. Watermarked archive photo; no clear a person candidate is identifiable from appearance.

A photograph of a line of devotees standing outdoors on a tiled courtyard in front of a red-orange temple wall, with a dark doorway behind them. Most wear white or cream traditional clothing: women in white saris with coloured borders, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a sacred thread, and a woman in white tunic and trousers. Several have palms pressed together in prayer or hands folded at the waist, and one woman in green patterned trousers and a green scarf stands at the right. A few have vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. A golden ceremonial palanquin or decorated structure is visible at the far left edge. Some figures are partly cut off, and a few people are visible in the background near the doorway. The scene suggests a satsang or ritual gathering, though no one is clearly identified as a person.

Devotees in white ritual clothing gather at the entrance of a terracotta-brick building while a woman in white with a yellow shawl stands with palms pressed together at a draped table holding brass plates and offerings. Several women wear yellow shawls, others carry black tote bags, purple water bottles and a woven bamboo basket. Long red and pink flower garlands decorate the open white doorway, and tall decorated kalasha-style pots in red, blue and yellow stand along the wall. A man in white with a black backpack and an orange garland walks in the crowd. The scene appears to be a welcome for delegates at a program hall entrance.

Outdoor photo at an ashram courtyard beside a long white building with a green corrugated roof and red-tiled awnings. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala is having her forehead marked by a woman in white with an orange shawl, who holds a silver vessel. Nearby women in white and orange shawls stand in a group, and men in white with garlands and rudraksha malas stand at the right. An orange cloth and offering plate sit on a table at the lower right.

A photograph of a dirt courtyard outside a red-roofed building where a crowd of women in white ritual clothing and red shawls stands in lines. Many wear white kurtas and white pants with red shawls draped over their shoulders, while others wear saffron, orange and pastel saris and salwar kameez. A white van door is open at the right, and a figure in orange robes stands partly visible near the vehicle. The women are chatting, some with hands raised to their faces, while a man in white shirt and grey trousers walks at left.

Outdoor photo beside a white building with a green corrugated roof and small red-tiled awnings over barred windows. Women in white saris with orange and gold borders and orange shawls stand at a garlanded table with a small statue of a seated deity, flowers and a brass lamp. An older woman with grey hair in a white outfit and marigold garland stands at center, facing a woman in an orange shawl. Behind them a crowd of devotees in white garments and marigold garlands waits, including a man with long hair and beard. No figure is clearly identifiable as the a person by appearance cues, so the identity is left unsure.
