A seated group of young boys and adult men performing a ritual puja on the floor of a hall. Several boys wear maroon sleeveless tunics with yellow trim and white tilak marks on their foreheads, some raising small lamps or offering pieces. Foreground: a shaved-headed man in orange-saffron robes and a long orange shawl wears a rudraksha mala and holds a small lamp, while another bald man in orange shawl and bead mala sits in front, holding a flame. A silver tray holds marigold flowers and a small framed image, with other brass vessels nearby. Several boys in the background also hold lamps or offerings, with white sacred ash markings on their arms and faces.

Dense group of young and adult devotees in saffron-orange robes with maroon shawls seated on the floor during a ritual, many with white horizontal tilak bands across their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. Several hold their palms together in anjali mudra or sit with hands folded, and small oil lamps and offering plates glow on the floor in front. The scene suggests a satsang or puja gathering, with boys and men in the foreground and a watermarked archive copyright along the lower right. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from this image.

A photograph of a group ritual with many seated participants holding small oil lamps lit with flames. Foreground boys wear maroon sleeveless vests with gold trim and white forehead tilaka marks, and one wears glasses. Adult men in orange saffron cloth with rudraksha malas raise lamps, one with a bare upper torso and gold arm ornaments. Behind them men wear white kurtas with orange lanyards. The setting appears to be a satsang-style gathering with brass vessels on the floor. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no candidate is marked as present.

A seated group of young boys and adult men in saffron and maroon ceremonial robes, with white vertical tilak marks on their foreheads and white painted markings on their arms and chests, sit close together on a floor during a ritual. Several wear rudraksha malas. Brass oil lamps and small brass vessels sit on a low table in the foreground, and a glass partition and a lit hall are visible behind them. A boy in orange robes at centre smiles and gestures toward a companion. A bald man in orange robes near the upper centre sits among them, but his appearance does not clearly establish that he is a person, so this is not an identification.

Brass vessels, a small kalasha-style pot, flowers and trays of offerings sit on the floor in front.

A photograph of a seated group of young boys and some adult men in a hall, many wearing saffron-orange or maroon sacred cloths with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and white vibhuti lines on their foreheads. Boys in the foreground sit cross-legged on mats; one holds a brass plate, and brass ritual vessels and a small green object sit on a low table. Several adults in white shirts with red lanyards sit in rows behind. The page indicates a satsang, but no clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

A photograph of a seated group of young sannyasi-style boys and men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas, white vertical forehead markings, and shaved heads, chanting with eyes closed beside brass puja vessels, a small lamp and a yellow box on the floor. The scene looks like a ritual gathering in an indoor hall. No individual is identifiable as a person from appearance here, so no candidate is named.
