A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange draped garment walking down a stone staircase beside a cream wall, wearing a white and red flower garland with a rudraksha mala looped through it. He has long swept-back dark hair and looks downward while touching the garland with his right hand. Beside him, a smiling man in white kurta and white dhoti walks down the steps. Behind them, a woman in a teal sari stands on the stairs, and a green banana leaf hangs over the upper frame.

A smiling man in a saffron-orange robe and matching turban stands at the foot of a curved staircase with white balusters and dark wooden handrails, hands clasped in front. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a woman in a brown sari and a man in a navy shirt and khaki trousers stand near a tall brass oil lamp and red-flowered arrangements in a bright entrance hall.

A smiling man stands on a staircase beside a green wrought-iron railing with a wooden handrail. He wears an orange turban, an orange unstitched robe with a wide gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, and a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. A red bindi marks his forehead, and a framed landscape print with a tree and houses hangs on the white wall behind him.

A photograph of a staircase inside a plain cream-walled building with a wooden balustrade and white marble steps. A person in an orange saffron robe with a red-green-yellow flower garland and a red bindi walks up the steps, one hand on the wooden handrail. Behind them, an older man in a cream shirt and white dhoti follows on the stairs. A barred window and a fluorescent light fixture are visible above. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the front figure by the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and ceremonial garland, climbing the stairs during a home visit.

Indoor photo in a bright hall with a staircase on the right and a wooden table with metal containers at the far right. In the foreground a bearded man with long dark hair wears an orange robe and glasses, walking forward. Beside him a younger man in an orange robe rests one hand on the table. Behind them a line of people stands near the wall: two men in white shirts on the left, and several women, one in an orange top and another in a dark sari, watching. The a person candidate is the bearded man in orange, shown with long dark hair, orange robe and glasses; the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is marked unsure.

A photograph of a priest in saffron-orange robes with a matching head cloth and a rudraksha mala, standing at a shrine and holding a long wooden staff upright in both hands. Before him, a large framed portrait of a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange robe, raises one hand in blessing; the portrait is garlanded with white and yellow flower strings and red roses. Beneath it sits a deity murti draped in a green cloth, surrounded by marigolds, and brass oil lamps stand on either side. A banner behind shows a larger printed image. The priest appears to be performing a shrine ritual with the staff.
