In the centre, a man with short hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands with palms pressed together, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment. To the left, several women in white saris with yellow shawls stand with hands folded, one wearing a rudraksha mala, and to the right a man in white with a yellow shawl also folds his hands.

A photograph taken under a open-sided thatched shelter with a metal frame. A figure seen from behind, with long dark hair and a bare upper body wrapped in an orange shawl, faces a group of about a dozen smiling people. Most are in white ritual clothing with orange shawls, and several wear rudraksha malas. A woman in the centre wears a white sari with a gold border and is gesturing with her hands. A microphone stands in the lower right corner, and a small table with a basket and bowls sits at the right edge.

A seated group of devotees with hands in anjali mudra during a pada puja. In the centre, a woman in a white sari with gold border kneels and chants into a microphone held by a young man in white and yellow. An older woman in white with a rudraksha mala kneels beside a golden plate of flower petals, washing or honouring the feet of a seated figure in orange robes whose feet rest in the plate. Standing at the right, a long-haired person in an orange sleeveless top also presses palms together. Behind them, a man in white with an orange shawl stands by a wall painted terracotta, and devotees in yellow and white sit along the back. An orange cushioned seat and orange cloth fill the foreground.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and a rudraksha mala with multicoloured beads, standing with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered, with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, several men in white kurtas and dhotis, some with hands folded in namaste, stand in a white-walled hall; an elderly man in white is seated near an orange-cushioned chair with a laptop on it. A brown wooden door is in the background. The scene reads as a satsang or darshan gathering. a person: the standing man shows long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone and is recorded as in_person with unsure-level caution in the field value.

Photograph taken under a tent-like canopy of a group of devotees in white ritual clothes with orange shawls gathered before a person on the right wearing an orange garment with long dark hair, hands folded in front of the chest. Several white-clad men and women stand in a semicircle, many with hands folded or holding objects, and a woman in a white sari with an orange border stands near centre with palms joined. A steel bowl sits on a table at right. The setting suggests an ashram ceremony or seva gathering. The figure on the right has long swept-back hair and orange-saffron clothing, a distinctive cue, but the identity is uncertain from appearance.
