A bald, bespectacled man in a white kurta wears a long rudraksha mala with red-thread knots and a yellow cord over his shoulder, with a red-brown tilak on his forehead. He leans forward with eyes lowered, facing a person seen from behind with dark braided hair and a blue top, in a crowded hall with other people behind. The man has bald head and white ritual clothes but the rudraksha mala and yellow cord alone do not establish identity, so no a person identification is made; he is described as a man in white ritual dress.

A close photograph of an older bald man with short grey hair and rimless glasses, wearing an orange kurta and a white shawl over his shoulders. A white vibhuti or sacred ash mark is on his forehead as another person's hand rests on his head, in a blessing or initiation gesture. Behind him, an orange cloth backdrop and another orange-robed figure are visible. A second person with short dark hair is partly visible at the lower right, bending forward.2010-09-20May 12 20142014-05-12A close portrait of a shaved-headed, bespectacled older man in an orange kurta with a white shawl draped over his shoulders and a dark rudraksha mala at his chest. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste while another person's hand rests on his forehead, a white sacred mark visible there. He wears gold rings, and orange-robed figures are blurred in the background against a red curtain. The man has no distinctive long hair, crown, or ceremonial gold necklace, so no a person identity is claimed; the figure is described by role only as a devotee receiving blessing.2010-09-20December 12 20162016-12-12July 30 20172017-07-30January 10 20172017-01-10January 22 20172017-01-22A photograph of a seated audience at a satsang-style gathering. In the centre, an older man with swept-back silver-grey hair, a grey moustache and clear-framed glasses wears a cream kurta and a rust-coloured rudraksha mala with a small amber pendant on a cord. A red bindi is on his forehead and a pen is clipped to his shirt. Around him, participants in white, blue and orange clothing sit in rows, and a partially visible young man in white with a rudraksha mala is in the foreground at left. Sparse, unidentified attendees fill the background. The man's appearance does not establish a candidate for the named teacher, so he is described by role only as a seated participant.2016-12-17December 15 20172017-12-15November 24 20112011-11-24A seated devotee in a crowded hall, shaved head with white and red sacred markings on the forehead and red bindi, wearing rimless glasses, a white dhoti with a gold border, a red and gold shawl, and a long orange-red rudraksha mala. He sits with palms pressed together in anjali, speaking or chanting. Behind him, many men in white shirts and red shawls sit on the floor, with rudraksha malas, one wearing a badge. The setting appears to be a satsang gathering.2014-08-24December 17 20162016-12-17
