Photograph inside a red and gold ceremonial room at an ashram event. A figure seated at left wears an orange-red turban, a white flower garland and an orange-gold shawl, and is seated on a low cushioned seat with a hand extended over a tray. A shaved-headed man in orange robes with a yellow-marked forehead and rudraksha-style beads stands at left holding a long gold-tipped staff. A line of devotees, several women in saris and salwar kameez, stands behind a gold pillar with a brass oil lamp. A man in a blue shirt holds two red apples while a woman in a white sari and red-bordered shawl gestures toward him. Gold-leaf hangings decorate the walls and a small monitor shows video at lower right.

Indoor photograph in a plain whitewashed hall with barred windows, a wall-mounted television cabinet at right and a folding chair. A figure with long dark hair wears an orange sleeveless robe and sits on a red cushion, holding a fruit. Facing them, a standing man at left in orange holds a silver tray of fruit. Around them, several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand with hands folded or clasped, one holding papers. A shaved-headed man in a yellow shawl and tilak stands barefoot at centre-left. An appearance-based a person cue is present: long dark hair and an orange robe on the seated figure, who receives the fruit offering; this is an unsure identification.

A photograph taken at night indoors, showing a seated figure in an orange-red sleeveless top and orange-red striped cloth, back to camera, receiving a gesture from a man in a white collared shirt with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and black trousers, who extends his hands toward them. Behind them stands a row of people, including a woman in a white sari with a brown border smiling with hands clasped, women in light saris and kurtas, and a man in a white shirt with an ID badge. Yellow and white flower garlands are draped on the left, and a tray of apples sits in the foreground near a white cloth.
