Outdoor event under a white tent with draped white fabric. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a white and red flower garland, stands at right, extending his hand toward a bowing older man with grey hair. Beside them a young woman in a blue embroidered top with a blue shawl and gold bangles looks down. An older man in white clothing with an orange shawl and glasses stands centre-right, and another man in orange robes stands behind. Several people stand or bow in the foreground, one with long dark hair seen from behind.

On the left, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment and a white and red flower garland, gesturing with his hand as he speaks. In the centre, a man in a white shirt wears a white and red garland and a dark rudraksha mala, with yellow turmeric paste on his cheek. On the right, a woman in an orange-yellow sari with gold border wears a flower headpiece, white and red garlands and turmeric on her cheek.

Devotees receive a blessing at a gathering. A bearded man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and white jasmine garland rests his hand on the head of a woman with a red bindi and a red-marked forehead, who keeps her eyes lowered. Beside her, a man in a striped white shirt and orange shawl, also garlanded, looks on. On the left, an older woman in a green sari and orange shawl with a jasmine garland watches, and a gold-bangled hand holds a small white object. Metal railings and a red-cushioned seating area are visible behind.

A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a gold-bordered sash and a long brown-beaded rudraksha mala sits in a brown leather armchair in a warmly lit hall, with a white vibhuti-style tilak on his forehead. He extends both hands to offer or bless small reddish-brown objects held in a metal tray before him. Around him, women in white clothes with red-and-white striped shawls stand close, some holding out their palms, and a young girl in a red-and-white dress with beads stands at right. A woman at lower left holds out a palm toward the tray, and a microphone is clipped near his face. The a person cue is a rust-orange robe, a long rudraksha mala, a gold-bordered sash and a seated position in an armchair, so he is labelled a person.

On his left, a man in a white shirt holds a folded paper near the seated figure's chest, while a woman in a white sari with gold border stands on the right, her hand also near his chest. Floral garlands decorate the backdrop corners.

A seated audience at a satsang gathering. In the foreground, an older man with white hair and a white moustache, wearing glasses and a white shirt, sits with a garland of yellow and pink flowers around his neck. Beside him, an older woman in a red blouse and a turquoise and gold sari, also garlanded with yellow and pink flowers, sits with her hands clasped. Behind them, rows of people in white and red attire, some wearing red shawls, sit on the floor and in chairs, with a young girl and boys visible at right.

A photograph in a yellow-walled room during a devotional ritual. A seated man with bare upper body, white forehead markings, and layered white and red garlands sits on an orange cushioned seat with palms pressed together in reverent greeting. Before him, a man in white dhoti with an orange shawl holds a lit oil lamp and other offerings, while a woman in a red blouse and cream sari extends her hands toward the lamp. Around them, women in white and cream saris with folded hands and sindoor and bangles stand and kneel in prayer. Two saffron-robed attendants stand near a doorway, and a photographer with a camera is at right. Framed images and garlanded pictures hang on the walls, and a green leafy decoration frames the doorway. Photo shows devotees performing aarti with an oil lamp.

A photograph of a ritual in a plain room with mint-green walls and a green curtain. On the right, a figure seated on the floor wears an orange and maroon garment, a white jasmine and red flower garland, and a rudraksha mala; they hold a long silver staff topped with an ornament and extend a hand toward a brass plate of flower garlands, fruit and offerings. Seated women in white saris with orange borders receive the plate and garlands, while young men in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit behind. Standing devotees in white and green saris and white dhotis watch from the left and back. The visible scene suggests a puja with offerings; a person-style presence cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the seated ritual leader is described by role.
