Outdoor ashram courtyard with a seated figure in orange robes facing away from the camera, sitting on a mat and cushion inside a circular raised platform edged with white flowers, green leaves and a ring of white stones. A brass kalasha-style pot sits beside them. A line of devotees in white clothes sits along a raised platform at the right, with a man in a white dhoti walking across the sandy yard and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers in the middle distance. Orange-painted buildings, a marigold-garlanded pillar, a rangoli-style floral design on the ground and a red-and-white painted wall frame the scene. The orange-robed figure has long dark hair and appears to be meditating or in satsang, the seated figure is consistent with the 'a person' cue of long hair and saffron clothing, but the face is not visible so identity is uncertain.

Outdoor photo of a seated figure in orange saffron robes and a long rudraksha mala, sitting cross-legged on a raised platform covered with an orange cushion and a woven mat, with a brass kalasha-style pot beside him on a rangoli-decorated circle of pink and white lines. A grey-stone bed of small pebbles surrounds the platform. Behind him a woven mat leads to a row of devotees in white clothes seated on a concrete ledge, with a pale-haired older man in a blue shirt among them. Orange-walled buildings, palm trees and a netted structure stand in the background, and a garland hangs on a pole at right. The seated figure has long dark hair swept back and a vertical tilak on the forehead, with eyes closed, appearing to meditate.

Outdoor satsang on a sandy ground. In the foreground a man seen from behind and slightly from the side sits cross-legged on a mat, wearing an orange saffron wrap over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala around his neck, with his hair gathered in a bun at the back. He faces a large seated crowd of devotees in white dhotis and shirts, with a few in orange and one in green. A red brick wall, trees and a hanging yellow and orange cloth decorate the background. The man's appearance, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala are compatible with a person teaching the gathered audience.

A seated figure in orange sannyasi robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion over a woven mat, facing away from the camera toward a circular ash-filled fire pit with a brass kalasha-style pot beside it. Long dark hair is gathered in a bun, and a dark rudraksha-style mala hangs at the neck. Behind him, several people in white clothes walk near an orange building, while a row of seated devotees sits on mats to the right, a man in a light blue shirt among them. Pale stone sculptures and a wall stand in the background under trees. The scene reads as an outdoor ritual or meditation session.

Outdoor photo of a seated figure in an orange sleeveless robe and matching orange cushion, back to the camera, hands in a meditation or teaching posture, sitting on a sandy ground before a low platform. Rows of seated men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with orange scarves and lanyards, face the figure. Standing onlookers and a black loudspeaker are behind them, a brass vessel sits at the right edge, a wooden pole and an orange-painted wall with white trim frame the scene, and green trees and crops lie beyond. The figure has long dark hair tied back and appears to be a sannyasi giving a talk or satsang; the appearance is uncertain, so no identity is asserted.

A photograph of an outdoor ritual gathering at a temple courtyard. A figure in a sleeveless orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on an orange cushion on a low wooden platform, facing away from the camera toward the seated assembly. A brass vessel with a spout sits on the ground near him, beside a bed of grey ash or pale powder outlining the sitting area. Around him, a crowd of men dressed in white kurtas and dhotis sits on the ground and on a raised platform in front of an orange-and-white painted wall. Striped woven mats extend across the courtyard. A tall orange building stands at the right beside a wooden pole, and figures in white move in the background near a tent and plastic chairs.

Outdoor satsang scene on a paved courtyard with a raised red-and-white striped platform behind. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair and a black cord necklace wears a saffron-orange robe and sits cross-legged on an orange cushion facing a shallow circular pit lined with gravel, beside a brass pot. Woolen mats in a row lead from him toward a seated group of about eight men in white, cream, beige and dark clothing, sitting in meditation. Potted plants and a red pillar frame the setting. Based on the robe, long hair and seated posture, the central figure may be a person leading the practice; the image shows him in an orange robe, long hair, and a black mala-style necklace while seated before the pit.
