A seated group of devotees in white clothes with orange lanyards sits in a hall, several holding up pink, red and blue fan-shaped cards. In the foreground a bald man in white looks downward, while a man in dark-rimmed glasses in a white kurta stares down, and a man beside him has a sandalwood-paste mark on his forehead. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person. The background is blurred with more participants holding colourful cards.

A shaved-headed man in a white shirt and a rudraksha mala sits in a seated group session, holding an orange hand mirror up to his face and looking into it intently. Behind him, other people in white clothes sit on the floor, and a few wear orange or saffron garments. A small wired earpiece is visible at his ear. The setting appears to be a hall with a plain pale wall and red fabric in the background. This is a self-reflection exercise; the man is a participant and does not show the appearance cues needed to identify anyone as a person.

A man in white kurta with an orange-red scarf printed with Devanagari script and a rudraksha mala around his neck holds a pink oval plastic board up in front of him, watching it closely. Beside him, a hand holds up a pale blue board, and other people in orange and white clothing are seated in a crowded hall behind them. A gold bracelet is visible on his wrist. The setting appears to be a group gathering with participants holding up similar boards.

A seated man in a white kurta holds a dark wooden percussion instrument in his right hand, and a red-and-orange lanyard with a rudraksha-style bead mala hangs around his neck. He wears a small red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, another seated participant in white holds a green wooden clapper or instrument, and orange cushions and a red mat are visible on the floor. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance here, so the person is described by role only.

A dense crowd of devotees seated closely together, mostly in white clothing with red or orange shawls and orange-red beaded necklaces. Many hold small handheld objects such as wooden or green plastic clappers and fans, and several are looking down at them, apparently engaged in devotional chanting or ritual practice. A portion of a blue backpack is visible among the seated group. The scene appears to be an indoor gathering. No individual is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance cues, so the a person field is set to none.

A man seated from behind, seen in three-quarter view, holds a small white arched hand mirror up before him as he looks into its dark glass. He wears a plain white kurta with a loose collar and a red-and-white thread on his wrist. Blurred figures in white clothing sit in the background, with warm orange and red tones of a satsang hall visible at the edges.
