A photograph of a seated group of men and a few women in a plain indoor hall with a bare white wall and an orange floor covering. In the foreground a shaved-headed sannyasi in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits facing the camera, with white ash marks on his forehead and arms. Beside him another monk in saffron leans forward, and several men in white dhotis with gold borders and red shawls sit near them, some wearing rudraksha malas and white tilak. Behind them, people in white and orange clothing sit on a mat, including a man in an orange shirt and a white-haired woman in light clothing. A black bag and a bundle of orange cloth lie on the floor. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.

Photograph of a large seated congregation at a Nithya Satsang, mostly men in saffron-orange and red robes with gold borders, many with rudraksha malas and forehead tilak. In the foreground, three men sit cross-legged on a white floor with hands folded or one hand raised to the chin, gazing forward. Behind them, rows of devotees in orange and white clothing sit attentively, with a few people in white dhotis and a woman at left. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with pale walls and a light marble floor. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
