Outdoor photo of a row of men standing with palms pressed together in anjali mudra at chest height, apparently in prayer or meditation. Most wear plain white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; one elderly man in front has a vertical tilak mark on his forehead and a rudraksha-style neck cord with a badge. A younger man in a black hooded sweatshirt and glasses stands at right. Behind them stand rows of pale carved stone sculptures and green trees. No visible figure wearing saffron, long swept-back hair with ornate gold necklaces, or a crown is present, so no a person candidate is identified.

A photograph of a line of men in white ritual clothing standing in a hall with a tiled floor, several with palms pressed together in namaste. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, with sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads. One man in front wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace and an identity badge on a lanyard, and another wears a white shirt with a badge. Behind them, other white-clad people stand or sit, and a framed picture is visible on the wall.

A photograph of a row of men standing outdoors with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed or lowered, in a meditative prayer posture. Most wear white collared shirts and white dhotis or trousers; one older man has a vibhuti or ash mark on his forehead and a white dhoti with a gold border. A younger man at right wears a black hooded jacket and glasses. Behind them stand white marble or stone sculptures and trees, and a red structure is visible at the right edge. Several men are partly cut off at the frame edges. The scene suggests a guided meditation or satsang session.

Outdoor photograph of a line of devotees standing with palms pressed together in namaskar on a dirt ground beneath palm and leafy trees, with thatched-roof buildings behind. Foreground figures include an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a mustard-yellow shawl, a man in a checked shirt, a woman in a pink sari with glasses, a smiling man in a white shirt with a pendant, and a young girl in a pink dress with glasses. Behind them, other people in white and colourful clothing stand along the path, some in orange and yellow garments, and a man in a white vest and orange cloth walks at left. No one visible is identifiable as the swami; all are devotees and attendees.

Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; a man in front has a vibhuti or tilak mark on his forehead, and a foreground man at right wears a dark hooded sweatshirt. Some wear lanyard-style cords around their necks. Behind them stand grey stone pillars or memorial structures and green foliage, with a paved pathway at left. Several people stand with hands folded in front of them. The scene suggests a group prayer or satsang gathering before a shrine, with no clearly identifiable central figure visible.

A photograph of a large group of men standing in a open-sided covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and bare brick walls. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, many with rudraksha malas around their necks; several stand with hands folded in namaskar or clasped at the waist, and some have arms crossed. Light streams in from a bright opening at the back, with a few more people visible beyond. No one present is wearing saffron or a crown, and no one's appearance supports identifying a specific individual, so the figures are described by role only as devotees in white.

In the foreground a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a dark bead mala around his neck stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him a man in white shirt and white dhoti stands with his hands joined and head bowed. Behind them a man in white clothes and a person in a blue shirt watch, and a few women in light saris sit on the left. The area is shaded with a paved platform and greenery in the background.
