A group of devotees sits at a long wooden dining table eating a meal from steel thalis, with bananas and small steel tumblers on the table. A bearded man with long grey hair wears a white kurta, an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala as he eats with his hands, beside a woman in white with an orange shawl and grey hair. Other participants in orange shawls and orange t-shirts eat around the table, one in glasses at the right. The setting is an indoor dining room with floral curtains and a window at night.

A photograph of a group of about ten people seated cross-legged in a circle on a polished white marble floor in a large hall with pink walls, red curtains and a stage at the back. Most wear white ritual clothes with lanyards; one man in an orange shirt and cream trousers and a woman in a blue top are also seated. They are eating from steel thalis and bowls of food, with paper cups of drink nearby. Staff stand in the background near a rope barrier.

A photograph of a meal being served inside an open pavilion with red and white curtains and a tiled floor. Around a long table draped in a floral cloth, several men in orange and saffron robes sit on wooden chairs, with steel plates, bowls and glasses set out and water bottles on the table. A man in white kurta and yellow shawl stands at left serving, another in white stands in the background, and a man at right in orange holds a steel bowl. One seated man in orange wears a white head covering and another wears an orange turban. The page presents this as a visit from Ramakrishna Mutt swamis at the Bidadi Aadheenam; no one's identity is attributed from appearance. Four to six people are visible.

Indoor photo of a small office or sitting room with pale green walls, a framed waterfall picture on the left, and sheer curtains over barred windows. A figure with long dark hair and a saffron-orange wrap sits on a white-draped chair facing the camera, seen from behind. A second figure in orange kneels on the floor in front. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands in the background, another man in a white shirt sits on a brown sofa holding papers, and an older man in white shirt and dhoti stands at right. A low wooden table sits between them.

A seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron/orange garment and rudraksha mala, sitting on a white-draped seat with hands resting on the knees while an older man in white with a grey beard and white shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, men in white kurtas wear orange shawls and rudraksha malas, one holding a white tray of prasadam and rudraksha beads on a table. Seated women in the foreground watch, and a red curtain hangs in the background. The seated figure has distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, so it is a person receiving a devotee in an in-person setting.

Photograph of a healing and blessing session indoors, with a seated man in a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and orange shawl on the right, holding a wooden staff or rod and reaching toward a man in white on the left who holds papers and wears a rudraksha-style mala. A younger man in a white shirt and orange shawl stands between them holding a small printed card, and onlookers in white kurtas stand behind. A red curtain and a fruit bowl are visible on the table.
