A night photograph of a single seated figure on a small circular stone platform rising from dark water. The person wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over the head and body and an orange garment, seated on a yellow-gold cushioned chair with a red mat at their feet. A thin metal stand or microphone-like stick stands beside the chair, and a small offering or cloth sits on the platform edge. Dense dark vegetation and a low stone wall rise behind the water. Appearance-based label: a person, seated alone in saffron robes on the water platform, consistent with the page's account of an evening session.

A night photograph over dark still water shows a circular stone-block platform in the middle of a pond. On the platform, a seated figure in orange robes sits on a red cushioned seat beneath a yellow canopy, with an orange cloth spread on the stone surround. Palm trees line the dark background, and a striped woven mat lies on the stone ledge in the foreground. The scene is reflected in the water.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on a stone platform rising from calm water, with a red, white and blue striped umbrella overhead. Stone retaining walls, palm trees and a white boundary wall frame the pond, and the figure and umbrella are mirrored in the still surface. The figure appears to be a sannyasi seated on a raised stone seat with a blue-and-red patterned mat, gazing toward the water. The page associates this event with a discourse, but the figure's appearance does not show distinctive enough cues to confirm an identity, so the figure is described by role only.
