A photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with a red curtain. In the foreground a grey-haired man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward, holding a small offering of white flowers or cloth towards a person seen from behind. That person wears a bright orange-saffron turban, gold earrings and a gold necklace. A green identity badge hangs from the man's shirt, and he has a short white moustache and a thin white forehead mark. Behind him, other men in white clothes and gold-bordered dhotis stand watching, and a bald man with a white beard stands at right.2015-11-22December 31 20152015-12-31September 21 20112011-09-21A photograph of a man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a visitor badge on his chest, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a gold watch, holding a folded white cloth and a small brown packet in his hands.

Behind him two men in white kurta-style clothing stand with yellow shawls draped over their shoulders; the nearer one wears a rudraksha mala.

No one in the scene is confidently identifiable as a person from appearance alone, so the central figure is described by role only.2010-08-05April 16 20172017-04-16December 31 20152015-12-31April 07 20192019-04-07Outdoor evening gathering with a man standing at centre in white kurta and an orange-red shawl printed with script, palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed and mouth open as if chanting. Two round white garlands or pale flower-wrapped objects rest on his shoulders. He has short grey hair and a white tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a crowd of people dressed mostly in white stands in the dark, with a pink pillar at left and a few bokeh lights. The figure appears to be a devotee in satsang or prayer; visible appearance does not clearly match a specific candidate, so identity is uncertain.2016-07-18A photograph of a white-haired older man in a white shirt seated and leaning forward, receiving a green lime or fruit from a young shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti with a gold border. The priest, bare-chested with bead bracelets and a long flower garland of white jasmine and red blossoms, extends his hand toward the man. Behind them, a crowd of people in white clothes stands in a hall, and an orange-robed figure and a gold-tipped staff appear at the upper right. a person is not visibly identifiable in this frame; the visible figures are devotees and a priest.2017-02-19A photograph of a man with short dark hair and a grey-white beard, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti-style shawl with a red-and-gold border, sitting with palms pressed together in anjali namaskar.
