Indoor ritual scene in a white-tiled hall with orange cloths laid on the floor. In the right foreground a figure in orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange mat in front of a microphone stand and a brass bowl, holding a hand near their face. A woman in an orange sari bends forward, and a person in white kneels at her feet touching them, apparently performing a padapuja-style reverence. Other people in orange robes and white dhotis stand and sit around the room, with a seated audience in the background.2010-09-17A photograph from an indoor satsang hall with dark grey carpet. A woman in an orange shawl over white clothes sits cross-legged on a red mat, pressing her palms together with a green leaf, smiling. In front of her a man lies prostrate on the floor in white clothes and an orange shawl, a green leaf resting on his back, while another woman's hands rest on him. Behind them, a figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a low wooden seat with carved backrest, hands folded in prayer. Water bottles, a steel cup and a small brass bowl sit on the floor, with a white-draped table and flower arrangements at the left edge.2007-11-12Indoor temple-style hall with plain white walls and a wall light. In the foreground a shaven-headed man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and silver bracelet stands with palms pressed together in prayer, eyes closed, wearing glasses. Behind him stand several saffron-robed and white-clad men, one with a tilak and another in white with a red-bordered shawl bowing to the floor.

A woman in an orange sari with a dark red border stands at left with palms pressed together in namaskar, head bowed. In the centre, a man in white dhoti and shawl with an orange garment prostrates on the floor, forehead to the cloth, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. At right, a woman in a cream sari with a red border sits cross-legged holding a folded cloth. A microphone on a stand is mounted against the wall, and a brass vessel and a framed picture sit on a low platform behind. Two more people in orange robes are partly visible at the edges. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly present; the prostrating man's appearance is not distinctive enough to attribute.2011-03-05September 17 20102010-09-17A photograph in a bare hall with straw mats and blue-edged borders on a grey floor. A seated figure in an orange robe with long dark hair, orange cloth draped over the body, sits on a white-covered chair with a maroon rug at its feet. A devotee in white clothes with a yellow shawl kneels and bows with forehead to the rug. A standing woman in white with a yellow shawl watches, hands folded.

A white wall and a dark bag complete the setting.2008-09-30A photo from a monastic training event shows a seated man with long dark hair and a bare upper body draped in orange cloth, touching the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta and white dhoti with red-bordered edges. The seated man rests one hand on the kneeler's head while a white-clad attendant stands behind, and orange-robed devotees and a large folded orange cloth sit beside a white-covered table holding a round silver plate. The floor is laid with white sheets and marigold garlands at the lower left. The seated figure's appearance and role are consistent with the page's description of a person presiding, but the face-independent cues are limited, so the identity remains uncertain.2006-08-17Indoor ritual hall with white tiled floor and orange cloth mats. In the foreground, a man in orange robes bends forward, reaching to hand an object to a man in white clothing seated on the floor with a metal bowl nearby. To the left, women in orange and white stand near the mats. On the right, a seated person in orange robes sits on a raised orange cushion beside a brass vessel.
