A man with long dark hair and a red-orange sleeveless top holds up a large yellow printed chart or schedule with colored tabs, examining it. Beside him a shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl looks on, and in the foreground another shaved-headed person's head is partly visible. Another person in orange stands in the background near a cabinet. The person with long hair shows strong appearance cues as a candidate, but identity is uncertain.

A indoor healing and blessing gathering with devotees crowded around a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas at the centre-right. He holds a framed photograph of a saffron-clad figure with long hair and offers it to a devotee, while others in white and orange clothing stand close. A woman in a red and white sari with a red hair flower leans in, and a small girl in the foreground has a red hair bow. On a white-draped table in the lower right are sacred objects including a rudraksha mala, a brass figure, books and a bowl of offerings. A fan and white curtains are visible in the background.

A photograph inside a home room with white walls, a white-covered bed or couch, a glass coffee table and curtains. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes wearing a red and green flower garland sits center on the white bed, looking down at an open book with a seated woman in a green and gold sari and a woman in pink and gold sari beside. A man in a white shirt and a woman in white and purple sari sit at right. Behind, shaven-headed monks in orange robes stand, one holding a framed picture. A wall calendar reads 2010. The long-haired figure's a person identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.

Nearby, a bald man in orange robes is seen from behind, and several devotees in white and yellow dress with red or yellow shawls sit on the floor. A woman in white with a red shawl stands at back, and a metal railing and a standing fan are visible.
