A black-and-white photograph of an old printed snapshot held up in a hand. Five men pose in a room with curtains behind them. A seated man in front wears a light head covering, a white cloth and a beaded rudraksha-style mala around his neck. Behind him, four men stand at a sofa or bench: one bare-chested with a beaded necklace and white dhoti, one in a white shirt, one in a checked shirt, and one in a white T-shirt smiling. Watermarked archive text is omitted.

A vintage black-and-white photograph of six men posed in an indoor room with light curtains behind them. Seated in front on a sofa is a bare-chested man with a gold-toned pendant, a large rudraksha mala hanging to his waist and a white cloth draped over his shoulders, with a light-coloured turban-like wrap on his head. Behind him stand five men: one bare-chested on the far left with a beaded necklace and white cloth around his waist, two in light short-sleeved shirts, one in a plaid shirt, and one in a white T-shirt on the far right with a wristwatch. The seated man's appearance matches the page's reference to a person, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role and marked unsure.
