Photograph of a guru-puja style ceremony on a red-cushioned raised seat. A woman with long dark curly hair, wearing an orange saffron garment, sits on the red throne smiling and holds a yellow fruit while another fruit is offered to her. Standing beside her, an older bearded man in orange robes with white forehead markings extends fruit toward her, and in the lower left a kneeling man in light orange clothing with white face markings holds a walking staff. A bamboo-matting wall forms the backdrop, with a small screen visible at upper left.

Photograph inside a thatched-roof hut with woven palm walls. A young person with long dark hair, wearing orange robes and bare feet, sits on a pink throne-like seat with red cushions and a red cloth, smiling and extending a fruit. A kneeling elder with white beard and grey hair, in a light peach shawl and orange robe, bows and offers an apple-like fruit toward the seated figure. A standing bearded sadhu in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds fruit on the right, beside a table with flowers, water bottles and a framed portrait of a smiling man in a white turban. A man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands at the left edge, and a white plastic chair sits in the foreground. Red rose petals decorate the throne.

Indoor satsang in a temple-like hall with a wooden pillar and a lit shrine niche behind. Three saffron-robed men sit on white plastic chairs. The central man in an orange wrap and head cloth looks to the side with hands clasped; a white-bearded elder on the left wears orange robes, wire spectacles, a white headband with red tilak, and a rudraksha mala with pink beads. Behind them a bare-chested devotee in a white-bearded, saffron-clad seated pose holds a mala, and a bare-chested man at the right edge sits with a shawl. A red flag with an emblem hangs on the wall. Watermarked archive photo; a person candidate is the central saffron-robed man, with appearance cues of an orange wrap and head cloth but limited distinctive adornment.

A photograph taken in a plain, unfinished hall with a concrete block wall, corrugated roof and fluorescent light. A bearded elder in saffron-orange draped robes with a vertical red-orange mark on his forehead stands at centre, speaking and gesturing with one hand. Facing him from the left, a shaven-headed man in brown-orange robes and an orange shawl holds the elder's hand, and another man in orange-brown garments stands at his side. On the right, a figure with hair tied back and a red hair clip wears a gold-bordered brown-orange sari-style drape and an orange beaded necklace, seen from behind. Behind them a man in a white garment and another in saffron stand near a gold-coloured ceremonial object. Four to five people are visible.

Three men sit in a tiled room with white walls and a small window. On the left, a bald older man in orange robes and a rudraksha bead headband rests his chin on his hand while seated on a bed with a patterned cover. In the centre, a man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a rudraksha bead headband, a long rudraksha mala, a white necklace and an orange robe with gold trim, sits on the bed holding a wooden staff and looks toward the right. On the right, a bearded man in a red robe with gold borders and a rudraksha mala sits on a chair, holding a small packet, with a gold bangle on his wrist. The central man has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace, so he may be a person, but the appearance is not conclusive.

Three men sit side by side on a cushioned seat inside a room with framed photographs and a purple-lit wall shelf behind them. On the left, an older bearded man with grey hair wears an orange kurta and has white ash marks on his arms. In the centre, a man in a maroon turban and a maroon-and-gold wrap wears a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant and a rudraksha-style bead mala. On the right, a shaven-headed man in an orange robe and white shoulder cloth holds his hands folded in his lap. Three people are visible in the scene.

A photograph in an indoor hall with a deep red velvet curtain behind. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala necklace sits smiling on an orange velvet armchair with a red cushion and orange bolster pillows, one hand raised in conversation. Before him, an older man with white hair and beard, wrapped in an orange shawl, leans forward with hands together in greeting. A younger man in white with an orange shawl and a tilak mark stands at left, and a partially visible person is at the right edge. A white table holds a tray with small items. The seated figure's appearance matches the appearance-based cues of a person: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated on a throne-like chair.

Blue yoga mats or cushions sit on a shelf in the background.
