Night photo at an indoor evening satsang. A man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, wearing an orange-brown garment and seated on an ornate gold-trimmed throne, gestures with raised hands toward a smiling woman in a white sari with red shawl and a smiling man in white with a red shawl, who sit on the floor. Behind them, many seated and standing devotees wear white with red shawls. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of a person, seated on the throne as the central teacher, while the couple act as devotees.

Night photograph at an outdoor gathering lit by a bright floodlight. In the centre foreground, a shaved-headed man in a plain white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a gold armlet stands with his back to the camera. To the left, a man in orange clothes with a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gilded golden throne with lion-carved armrests, smiling. Behind him a woman in a maroon sari sits on a gold chair. Several devotees stand nearby, including a man in a purple head covering on the right and men in white shirts. Red string lights decorate the background.

Night procession photograph of devotees walking through a dim outdoor setting. In the foreground, a man in white ritual dress with gold-bordered cloth and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace stands at left. Beside him, a smiling man in saffron-orange robes wears a long rudraksha mala, a red tilak on his forehead and hair tied back, holding a small object in one hand. Behind them, other devotees in orange and white clothing walk in the crowd, with a lit building and string lights in the background.

Night procession on a dark outdoor path with bright floodlights and lit buildings behind. In the centre, a smiling man with a red bindi and long swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange garment with gold border and a long rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial pendant, walking forward and gesturing with his right hand. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border and rudraksha beads walks, and a bright flashlight is held by a man in white shirt behind. Women in saffron and orange saris with rudraksha malas and a woman in white kurta with arms folded stand among the crowd on the right, with other devotees in orange and white around them. The centre figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial pendant, so an appearance-based candidate is present, though the setting makes this uncertain.

A man in a white shirt and white cloth with a red-and-maroon sash, wearing a wristwatch and a lanyard, stands before him with palms joined and his right hand raised, touching the seated figure's forehead. Behind them, standing figures in white and maroon hold long silver-tipped staffs, and a bronze deity murti or statue stands in the background.
