A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless robe and dark rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed in meditation before a white stepped pedestal topped by a seated deity statue draped in white cloth and garlands. In the foreground a white dove stands on a pale stone platform, slightly out of focus. At the right edge, a man in white clothes sits in a meditative posture. Trees and palms fill the background. The seated man's long swept-back hair and orange robe with rudraksha mala are the cues for a person, though the image is not conclusive.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with bare arms and a red bindi, eyes closed, hands resting in his lap, meditating on a white stone platform outdoors.

Three other men sit nearby in white clothes; the man on the right wears a yellow shawl and the one further back wears a white garment with a rudraksha mala. A white pigeon and a grey pigeon are in the foreground, and palm trees and flowering plants form the background.

A photograph of a white temple courtyard with pigeons in the foreground: a white pigeon in the centre, a grey pigeon at left and a grey-green iridescent pigeon at lower right. Behind them, a seated person in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged before a black stone Nandi or Shiva-linga style sculpture draped with a red, yellow and green garland on a white stepped plinth. Several men in white clothing with yellow shawls sit in meditation or prayer on the ground to the right and rear, with green trees behind. The saffron-clad figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm an identity, so this is described by role only.
