Outdoor photo on a dry, reddish-brown dirt ground with patches of grass under a blue sky, a tree, a low wall and utility poles behind. Several shaven-headed men in plain white kurta-style clothes stand in a loose line, many with their hands raised and palms pressed together in anjali mudra toward the front, while others stand with their arms extended. A few wear sandals and one man in the foreground holds a white cloth. The scene looks like a group greeting or salutation.

In the foreground, a bald, light-skinned man in a white shirt and light blue trousers walks forward with his head bowed, while several men in white dhotis and white kurtas raise their arms overhead, their hands joined to form an arch above him. Other men in white and grey stand around him. Behind them, a long line of participants in white and colourful clothing stand with arms raised in the distance. Visible people are roughly twenty, so the count range is 6-20.

A long line of people stands in a dusty open field on a sunny day with cumulus clouds, a low orange brick wall and tall eucalyptus trees behind them. Many participants wear white shirts and white dhoti-style or loose white trousers, while others wear grey, green, black or orange clothing. They stand shoulder to shoulder with both arms raised overhead, hands joined or cupped in a synchronised group practice. A lone figure in white stands at the far left with a camera. The scene suggests a collective outdoor exercise or ritual gesture at an ashram ground.

Behind them stands a tall orange-brown brick boundary wall, green trees and an overcast sky. No identifiable individual is singled out as a person from appearance cues.

Outdoor photograph of a group of devotees in white clothing on a wide dirt field under a partly cloudy sky.

A red-orange brick wall and a few tall trees line the background, and orange gateposts stand in the distance. Faces are not visible enough to identify anyone, and no a person candidate is clearly distinguishable.

Outdoor photo of a long line of people on a dirt road in front of a red brick wall and a grassy embankment under a cloudy sky. Many men and boys in white kurtas, dhotis and white clothing stand barefoot or in sandals, arms raised and stretched sideways, hands clasped with those beside them in a chain formation. Some wear grey trousers or dark shirts. Several shaved-headed men in white are visible; no one can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the figures are described by role only as devotees in a group activity.
