A photograph of a devotional gathering in a covered hall with a corrugated roof and fluorescent lights. In the centre, a woman in a long orange saffron robe and orange head covering, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, stands with hands joined in prayer. Beside her, a bearded man in an orange-red sannyasi robe stands near a metal railing. Around them, devotees in white and orange clothing, some with hands folded in namaskar, stand in line. A man on the right in a white shirt and orange dhoti also joins his palms. A cameraman on the left films with a tripod-mounted camera, and a wall banner above shows a text panel with photographs of robed figures. Several people are visible in the scene.

Indoor ashram hall with orange-painted walls, corrugated metal roof and a red carpet runner between steel railings. In the centre, a barefoot figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands with hands joined. Beside them, a man in white dhoti and a red-orange shawl stands with palms pressed together. A woman in white sari with yellow border stands at left with hands folded, and several devotees in white and colourful saris stand in the background. Framed posters and decorated pillars with woven patterns line the walls. Two people appear clearly in the foreground; the a person cue is the rudraksha mala and saffron robe on the central figure, with the white-clad man identified only as a devotee.

A photograph inside an open-sided hall with a corrugated roof and orange walls. A man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered dhoti, long swept-back hair and a gold-and-flower garland stands centre, smiling with palms pressed together. Beside him to the right, a shaven-headed young man in orange robes and a white dhoti with a red border holds a brass vessel topped with mango leaves. Left, a woman in a cream sari with a green border and a woman in yellow with a floral sari bow with folded hands; several women in white and blue saris stand at the metal railing behind. Hanging decorations, palm-leaf festoons and a framed picture on the wall complete the scene. Probable Swamiji (saffron robes, long hair, gold-and-flower garland, central position) is in person.

A photo inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof, hung with yellow and white paper decorations and orange banners. On the left, a banner reads "Growing Consciousness" beside portrait images of saffron-robed figures. A row of people with palms pressed together in namaste stands at a steel railing, several in white and cream clothing and one in a red-and-beige salwar. In the centre, a tall figure with long dark hair in a flowing orange-saffron robe stands with hands in namaste, and a man in a blue shirt and a shaven-headed person in white greet them. Flower garlands and a tray sit at the lower left. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in saffron robes with long swept-back hair, pressing hands together in greeting at the railing.

Photograph inside a large tented hall with a white canvas ceiling and tall decorative cloth-wrapped pillars in red, yellow and black. Several men in saffron and orange robes stand and converse in a group. In the centre-left, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala wears an orange robe and stands with his hands at his sides. Beside him, a man in a yellow shawl and white dhoti talks with a saffron-clad man wearing an orange head wrap and beads. Older bearded men in orange and pale pink cloth stand nearby. Behind them, a banner on the back wall and a table with offerings are visible.

A photograph inside a thatched hall with a concrete floor and a red curtain backdrop. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe wears a long white and red flower garland and walks forward smiling with hands together. Around them, men in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing lanyards and name badges, walk or stand barefoot; one man at right wears a light shirt and khaki trousers, and a man in an orange shawl holds a camera. A decorated framed portrait with a flower garland hangs on the back wall, and a red-cushioned seat stands at left. The central figure has long dark hair and a presentation matching the page's a person cues, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity.

A photograph of a festival procession inside a hall with a corrugated metal roof. A central figure sits on a raised seat wearing a white headwrap, a white and gold garland, and orange-saffron robes with gold border, and a multicoloured umbrella canopy with blue, red, green and gold panels is held over them by a man in orange robes. Behind them a large golden elephant figure and red-draped structure stand near a seated group in white and orange. Many people in white and orange clothing sit on the floor in rows behind metal railings, some in white clothes and some in orange, while a few men in dark suits stand at the front right. Several white T-shirts hang on the walls, and framed pictures and banners are displayed along the back wall.
