A photograph of an outdoor site meeting on bare red earth, with piles of gravel and sand and dense green trees behind. A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl sits on a white plastic chair at left, facing the group and gesturing with one hand. Six men sit on the ground around them: several in white shirts and white trousers, one in a grey vest holding papers, and one at lower right in an orange cloth with long hair. Some hold papers or notebooks. The appearance of the seated figure is consistent with the page's identification cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so this is a person presence in person, but the identification is not certain from the image alone. Date stamp reads 30 12 2005.

A photograph of an outdoor meeting on a bare dirt ground with a sand pile and green trees behind. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing an orange cloth wrap and seated on a white plastic chair, faces a group of men seated on the ground in white shirts and light trousers, several holding papers and notebooks. Another man in a white kurta and orange wrap sits at the lower right with a stick. Two white plastic chairs stand at the right edge.
