Indoor photograph of a crowded room with cream walls, a coffered ceiling and recessed lights, lit at night with large windows behind. Many people wear white garments with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. A woman in a white outfit with a shawl stands on the left, and a woman in a deep orange sari with a fair-haired companion stands centre, facing one another in conversation. A man in white and orange sits at the lower right in front of a dark red chair, and a curly-haired person in white sits lower left. A small framed landscape hangs on the wall at left, and a dark red cloth hangs at the right edge beside a pillar faced with dark tile.

Photo of a buffet-style meal service in an ashram hall with white walls and green and pink floral borders on the pillars. Several women in orange shawls serve food from steel pots and trays on a counter. A woman in a pale blue patterned kurta on the left holds a steel plate, and a woman in a pink kurta on the right lifts a pot lid. A young man in white with an orange shawl stands behind the counter. Two framed portraits sit on a stand behind the servers, one of a robed figure, but neither is clearly a person candidate. A red sauce bottle and a small brass lamp are on the counter.

A photograph of a dining hall where devotees are seated at brown plastic-topped tables eating a meal from white paper plates. Many people wear orange shawls or scarves; a woman in a mustard-yellow salwar kameez and a man in a white kurta sit at the foreground table, and a woman in a maroon-and-purple sari sits at the right. Standing devotees in white kurtas with orange stoles serve and mingle near a steel pot and a stainless steel jug on the tables. An orange-and-cream wall, a microwave on a side counter and barred windows frame the room. Several people stand near the back, one in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and orange stole, and a standing figure in a red stole and orange cap at the back-left.

A food-serving line in a bright hall with pink walls and a polished white floor. In the foreground, a woman in a grey cardigan and white sari stands behind a steel pot of pale liquid, ladling into small steel bowls stacked on a patterned cloth. Beside her, a woman in a cream sari with an orange shawl holds a steel plate of food. A woman in a white top with a ponytail is also serving, and a man in white on the left watches the line. In the background, people in orange and white clothes and a golden-framed throne-like seat appear near glass display cabinets. The scene looks like communal meal distribution.

A photograph of a crowd of devotees in orange and saffron clothing gathered outside a building with red-and-white striped pillars in a hill town. A man in the left foreground wears a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and stands beside a bald man in a white garment. Several devotees in orange shawls and orange caps hold white plates and paper bowls, apparently receiving food. A large white coach bus with a blue tarpaulin on its roof and mountains behind them fill the background. Many saffron-clad people stand in a busy line, with some older women in orange saris and glasses among them.
