Photograph of three people seated on a concrete floor inside a small shop with shelves of jars, bottles and packaged goods behind them. A man on the left in a white shirt and white dhoti sits facing two women; one woman in the centre wears a white top and white skirt with a red bindi, and the woman on the right wears a saffron shawl over white clothes and glasses, holding a small object in her hand. A water bottle and a notepad lie on the floor. Another person in an orange garment stands in the background near a refrigerator, and a child in orange stands further back. Shop shelves hold jars of preserves and bottled goods.

A photograph taken inside a crowded shop with shelves of toothpaste, jars and packaged goods behind. Four people sit on the floor in a close circle. A young man in a red and white checked shirt and glasses, with a beard, leans forward and holds a small paper. Three women sit with them: one in white clothes with an orange shawl writes on a paper, another in white with a white shawl and bindi looks on, and a woman in white with an orange shawl and glasses holds a mobile phone. Colgate toothpaste boxes hang at left, and a colourful cloth canopy is visible above. The group appears to be studying or reviewing a written sheet together.

Five people sit on the floor of a weathered courtyard against a cracked plaster wall, studying a traditional instrument course. Several sannyasis in white clothes with orange shawls take notes in small paper notebooks. A man in a white shirt and cream trousers, seated in the centre, leans forward and gestures toward a notebook. Spread on a patterned cloth in the foreground are brass and copper instrument parts, including a kattumurthy-style tied bundle and small pipe-like fittings. A low stone seat and folded white cloth sit behind them.

A man in a white-and-pink checked shirt and white dhoti, wearing glasses, sits cross-legged writing on a sheet of paper. Beside him a sannyasi in white with an orange shawl bends forward.

A indoor satsang session with a large seated audience of women and girls in white traditional dress with gold-bordered edges and orange shawls or stoles. Many attendees sit cross-legged on a white floor, some writing in notebooks. At the right front, a person in orange robes sits on a raised red-and-gold mat beside a microphone stand and a cane. A video camera on a tripod films the group at left. Behind them, large framed portraits and banners hang on white walls, and a few white-clad men sit at the rear.

A photograph of a seated group of women writing in notebooks during a session in an indoor hall. In the foreground a young woman in a white floral-print top and an orange-red shawl writes with a blue pen, while a woman in a pink kurta with glasses and an orange shawl reads from an open notebook at left. Behind them other participants in orange and red shawls and white clothing sit on the floor and take notes, and a man in red appears in the background.

A dense crowd of devotees, mostly women, sits closely packed in a hall during an evening gathering. Most wear white or cream saris and dhotis with gold borders, rudraksha malas around their necks, and white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Some hold their hands in anjali mudra, and a few wear name badges on their clothes. A woman in a peach-colored sari sits at the center, with a yellow-clad woman beside her. Behind them, banners and other attendees are visible above the crowd. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible in this frame.

Four people sit cross-legged on a bare concrete floor in a small shop-like room with shelves stocked with Colgate toothpaste boxes, steel scrubbers and packaged goods. A man in a pink and white checked shirt and white dhoti leans forward, pointing into an open notebook lying on a sheet of paper. Beside him, two women in white clothes with orange shawls listen attentively, and a woman in a white top and orange shawl with glasses looks on. A green wooden stool and water bottles are visible in the background. No one in the scene is identified as a person.

A photograph of men seated on orange mats in a hall with metal railings and chains, engaged in conversation. In the foreground, a man in white shirt and white dhoti with a name badge sits cross-legged, facing a man in white with an orange shawl or wrap across his shoulders, seated with his back partly to the camera. A younger man in a green checked shirt and glasses sits between them, arms folded, and another man in white sits at the right edge. Women in saris sit in the background. The shawl-wearing man shows no distinctive a person cues strong enough to be identified, so no candidate is named. Gold-toned columns and a chandelier appear at the top of the hall.
