Photo of a seated devotee wearing a black eye blindfold during a meditation session. In the foreground a man in a white polo shirt with black collar trim and an orange shawl draped over his shoulders sits upright with hands resting in his lap, wearing a white ID badge on an orange lanyard and a dark cord necklace. Behind him, several other participants wear similar blindfolds and orange shawls, seated on a red mat in a hall with red and white walls. The background is softly blurred.

Indoor satsang in a temple-like hall with a wooden pillar and a lit shrine niche behind. Three saffron-robed men sit on white plastic chairs. The central man in an orange wrap and head cloth looks to the side with hands clasped; a white-bearded elder on the left wears orange robes, wire spectacles, a white headband with red tilak, and a rudraksha mala with pink beads. Behind them a bare-chested devotee in a white-bearded, saffron-clad seated pose holds a mala, and a bare-chested man at the right edge sits with a shawl. A red flag with an emblem hangs on the wall. Watermarked archive photo; a person candidate is the central saffron-robed man, with appearance cues of an orange wrap and head cloth but limited distinctive adornment.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban speaks to an audience. He has long white hair, a flowing white beard, white horizontal tilak marks and a red bindi on his forehead. He wears layered rudraksha and pale crystal malas and holds a pair of sunglasses in one hand while his other hand rests on his chest. Behind him a man in a white shirt and gold chain watches attentively, and a woman in the background wears gold earrings. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang. The man in orange shows the cues of a probable Swamiji (saffron robe, orange turban, long hair, rudraksha and crystal malas), so he is identified here as Swamiji (probable) seated and teaching.

An elderly bearded man in orange saffron robes and an orange head wrap sits in a white plastic chair, hands clasped in his lap, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a white horizontal tilak on his forehead with a red dot, and layered rudraksha and crystal bead malas. Behind him a woman in a red and gold sari and a man in white shirt are partly visible. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a saffron-clad satsang teacher, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A photograph of a satsang-style gathering indoors. Two orange-robed sannyasis sit side by side: on the left a man in an orange shawl covering his head sits on a black leather armchair, and in the centre a bearded elderly man in orange robes, rudraksha and crystal malas, round glasses and a white tripundra on his forehead sits on a cream plastic chair with hands folded. Behind them a man in a white shirt and a woman in a red and gold sari watch, and a person in red sits at the right edge. A white plastic chair and a red chair stand in the background. The orange-clad elder carries strong appearance cues for a person but the identification is uncertain, so the role is described as a sannyasi.

Photograph of an elderly bearded sadhu with eyes closed in meditation, wearing a peach-pink turban and an orange shawl. White horizontal tilak lines with a red dot mark his forehead. Behind him, other devotees in orange and saffron clothing sit in an indoor hall with warm lighting, one wearing glasses. The scene conveys seated meditation or satsang during a gathering.

A photograph of a blindfolded meditation session with a standing teacher in the foreground. The central figure has long dark hair, wears an orange saffron robe and a long mala of dark rudraksha beads, and stands with his hands clasped at his waist, facing left. Beside him, a man in an orange robe holds a microphone and a golden staff or object. Behind them, rows of seated participants wear white blindfolds across their eyes, many in white shirts and pale clothing, some in green or striped tops. The crowd fills the background of a large indoor hall.
