A photograph of a padapuja ritual in a room with pale blue walls and a gold-ornate throne with red upholstery. A bald elderly man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on the throne with bare feet, while a white-clad attendant washes or worships his feet. A younger man in orange with a rudraksha mala and a bald man in a maroon dhoti with a sash stand nearby, and a man in a yellow dhoti holds a microphone. Several men in white and cream garments and a few other attendees stand or kneel around the seated figure.

A photograph inside a plain pink room with barred windows. A standing man in orange robes, with a rudraksha mala, a red bindi and sandalwood-marked forehead, leans forward with his hand extended toward a seated elderly man with white hair and beard in orange robes. The elderly man holds a foot in his hands in a gesture of reverence. To the right, a woman in orange sari and gold-coloured necklace with a pink-orange turban sits with palms joined. Another person in orange sits at the left edge, a third stands partly visible at left in orange with an orange turban, and a seated monk in maroon with a rudraksha mala is at the bottom left, with a bald head. The floor is covered by a patterned carpet with bolsters and a water bottle.

Indoor photograph of a religious ceremony in a pink-walled room with a framed deity print on the wall and a brass oil lamp at right. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a dark rudraksha mala and an orange saffron wrap stands at left with hands folded. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes reaches out to clasp the hands of a bare-chested priest wearing a red shawl with gold border and white dhoti, who stands before brass vessels and a bell. A bearded man in orange robes sits at right, and a yellow-saree-clad woman is partly visible at far left. Several figures in the room are visible, and the scene appears to be a formal blessing or ordination exchange.

A photograph of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees in an indoor room with recessed ceiling lights. In the centre, an elderly man with long white hair and beard wears a saffron robe and orange shawl, his hands extended in greeting toward a woman at right. She wears a rust-red head wrap, a red-brown garment, pearl necklaces and bangles, and holds a golden lion-headed object wrapped in orange cloth. Beside them a bald man in a brown-red garment and rudraksha mala stands, and to the right another man in orange adjusts cloth. Men at left wear orange robes and beards. Possibly a satsang gathering in Haridwar.

A photograph inside a pink-walled room with barred windows. A bald man in orange robes leans forward with an outstretched hand toward a seated devotee. A woman in a rust-coloured turban and layered orange-brown shawl, wearing a gold necklace, gold bangles and a rudraksha-style bead mala, sits with palms pressed together in anjali. Beside her, an older bearded man with white hair and glasses in orange robes sits cross-legged. A partly visible woman in orange appears at the right edge and a child's head at the lower left. Several people are seated on the floor in a satsang-style gathering.

A seated group of saffron-robed sadhus sits on a patterned red and blue carpet in a pink-walled room with barred windows. In the foreground, an elderly bearded sadhu with long white hair and a white-bead mala, wrapped in orange cloth, gestures while speaking to a younger bearded man in orange on the right, who holds a mobile phone. Behind them, other orange-clad monks sit cross-legged, one wearing a red turban and a gold-beaded garland, and a man in a white shirt sits among them. The scene suggests a satsang or meeting.

A central man with a bald head, white beard and a large white and red tilak on his forehead wears orange robes, smiles and holds his hands together in greeting. Beside him, a man in an orange turban with long dark hair, his palms pressed together, faces a woman in orange clothing seen from behind. Several other men in orange robes with shaved heads stand around them, one holding a small pink cloth.
