A photo from a community meal hall with a long steel table where seated men in white shirts and dhotis eat from metal plates. A man in a white shirt holds a steel bowl and serves food. Beside him stands a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe with an orange turban and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, handing food to a seated diner. Several other men in white and orange stand in the background, and a dim hall with pillars and a distant table of items is visible. Appearance cues are present but not conclusive, so the identity of the robed figure is uncertain.

A photograph of an indoor serving scene with tiled walls. On the left, a long-haired figure in orange robes and an orange turban, bare-chested with a shawl and rudraksha beads, reaches out with a gloved hand to take food from a steel tray held by a woman. The woman, in white with a rudraksha-style mala, smiles and holds a steel plate with rice, bread, a sweet and curry. Behind them, men in white shirts and dhotis and other people in white watch and smile.

A kitchen or food-serving hall with steel vessels and pots on counters and a tiled pink wall. In the foreground, a woman in an orange sari with an orange head wrap and rudraksha-style beads sits on a steel counter, smiling and handing out food. Around her, men in white kurtas, some with orange shawls and lanyard badges, and women in white saris with dark hair and small ornaments are gathered, holding food packets and steel plates. Water bottles are stacked at the right edge. The scene appears to be community food service. Visible people number about twelve to fifteen.

A photograph of a crowded indoor corridor with women queuing in single file along a whitewashed wall beside a row of metal-framed windows. Most wear sarees in white, pink, lavender, orange and light green, with red and wine-coloured beaded mala necklaces, and several have red kumkum or vermilion marks on their foreheads. Some wear white lanyard-style badges. The queue extends into the background where more people stand in a passage. No a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame.

A photograph of a crowded dining hall during a person Spurana convention meal service. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, an orange head wrap, and a long rudraksha mala, carrying a steel bowl of food. Around him, men in white kurta-style clothing and white dhotis carry plates and bowls, and some younger attendants wear orange shawls. Behind them, a decorated table holds flower garlands and offerings. The room has pillars, windows and steel serving vessels. The person's appearance matches the presentation cues associated with a person, but the identification is uncertain, so the role is described as a robed man serving food.

A seated group of devotees in a hall during a ceremony, sitting on a striped blue and red floor mat. In the foreground a woman in white looks toward the front while a seated woman in an orange sari with pink border sits with hands folded. Behind her a man in white kurta sits with palms pressed together, and an older man in white sits beside him with hands joined. Further back, older women in white and glasses sit with hands folded. A plant stands against the wall, and a small puja table with flowers and a brass offering plate is at the left edge. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this frame.

A seated figure in a rust-red robe with a long saffron-orange beaded mala and a gold hair ornament sits on a gilded wooden seat under a yellow fringed canopy, holding a yellow cloth. Before him, a man in white with a red shawl kneels and performs padapuja, washing or offering at the seated figure's feet, while a woman in white with a beaded necklace kneels nearby. Behind them, several women in white and red shawls sit or stand in a white-tiled hall, some wearing red and rudraksha-style beads, watching the ritual. This appears to be a padapuja during a satsang setting, with people sitting on the floor.

Behind them a row of seated participants wear white clothes and orange shawls, one bald man with a white forehead mark. A white flower arrangement in a terracotta vase stands at the left edge of a white-draped table. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable.
