A dim evening outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees at an ashram gathering. In the foreground, a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste, facing left. Beside him a man in white clothes gestures with an open hand. Behind, several people in orange and white garments, many with orange shawls and some with red shawls, stand close together, and a woman in white with a red shawl is visible. Trees form the dark background.

Evening gathering in an open thatched hall with a dirt floor. A standing crowd of women and a few men in white dhotis and orange shawls press in at the back, some with hands folded in namaskar. In the foreground a woman in white kneels before a bowl of offerings on a blue plastic chair, palms extended, while a woman in an orange sari with orange shawl kneels and bows beside a seated figure in orange robes who raises one arm. Oil lamps and a hanging decorative lantern appear near the thatch roof. A garland-hung framed picture is visible at the right edge. The seated figure's identity is not established by appearance alone.

Night-time outdoor photo of a crowd walking along a pale paved path between dark trees, lit by distant street lamps. Many men in white dhotis and shirts stand and walk on both sides, with women in saris at right. At the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange robe with a matching orange head covering walks with hands pressed together in greeting, flanked by men in white. Appearance is too uncertain to confirm who the saffron-robed figure is, and the page's claim cannot be verified from the image alone.

Night photograph of a walking procession on a paved reddish ground. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban, and a long rudraksha mala walks forward. Around him, men in white kurtas and dhotis and women in white and coloured saris walk in a line; one man on the left wears a yellow shawl and holds a bottle, and several people wear identification badges on lanyards. A flag pole and building lights appear in the dark background.

Night photo of a devotee procession walking away from the camera along a dark road, lit only by a few distant flickering lamps ahead. Many people in white dhotis and saris with orange shawls or scarves walk in a loose group; several women have long dark braids and one foreground woman in a white sari with an orange shawl faces forward. Nearby figures in orange robes and white clothing move together. Faces are not clearly visible. No individual can be confidently identified as a central figure here.

Night-time photograph of a crowd walking along a paved path lined with dark trees. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron robe and an orange head wrap, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks forward smiling while a man in white on his right gestures toward him. Behind them follow a group of men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing white garlands or ID badges, and women in sarees in pink, purple and white. At the left edge, a man in white folds his hands in a namaste greeting. The scene is lit by dim street light, and a printed copyright line and Source label appear at lower right.

A night-time outdoor photograph of a long, unbroken line of devotees in plain white traditional clothing, many women in white saris and men in white dhotis and shirts, holding hands in a chain that stretches across a stone-paved courtyard. Some women wear red or maroon borders, one wears a blue-and-white sari, and several wear name badges on their clothing. Strings of blue fairy lights and a green illuminated pillar appear in the dark background behind trees. Only the people in the foreground chain are clearly visible; the line extends beyond the frame, so the count is approximate.
