Outdoor bhoomi puja on a grassy field edged by scrub and trees. In the foreground a bare-headed man in orange robe bends toward a silver tray and brass vessel on the ground, with incense sticks and small offerings. Beside him stands a man with long dark hair, a tripundra mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala, and an orange wrap, barefoot, facing the ritual items. Behind them women in white saris, some with orange or yellow shawls, hold offering plates and join palms in prayer.

A group of devotees walks along a gravel path lined with green grass and a small tree at upper right, under an overcast sky. In the centre, a man in an orange robe with a bun of hair, a rudraksha mala and a white shawl walks with palms pressed together in anjali, a person by appearance, though the cues are limited to the bun, rudraksha mala and robe. Beside him, a bald man in an orange robe carries a backpack and a small satchel. Around them, people in orange shawls and saffron or white clothing walk along, and one woman carries a red basket. The setting suggests a pilgrimage walk.

Photo of a procession at a temple in Tiruvannamalai. On the right, a man with long dark hair and a white forehead mark, wearing saffron robes and a long garland of yellow, white and red flowers with gold ornaments, walks with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him, a bald man in saffron robes wears a gold pendant necklace and a red-and-white forehead mark while holding a pink cloth. Behind them, another saffron-clad man with gold chains walks barefoot, with more devotees in saffron and white behind. In the foreground at left, a man in a white shirt with a vibhuti and kumkum forehead mark looks on. A stone wall forms the backdrop. The visible figures are a person, a long-haired man in saffron with garland and gold ornaments, with appearance-based cues; the others are devotees and attendants.

A photograph of a man in a flowing saffron-orange robe walking along a brick garden path lined with green hedges and tall trees, under a tall lamp post against an overcast sky. He wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck, a small red forehead mark, and orange sandals, with long dark hair swept back. A second man beside him wears white kurta and dhoti with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, and a third person in white walks behind, along with another figure in orange. The leading man lifts one hand as he looks upward. Swamiji (probable) is the leading figure in saffron robes with long hair, rudraksha mala and forehead mark, walking at the front of a small group of four people.

Outdoor street scene in front of a pink-washed wall with faded Devanagari lettering. A man in the centre wears an orange knit cap, a long dark-brown hair, an orange shawl and a grey-and-orange quilted jacket over saffron robes, and stands looking upward. Beside him, a man on the left wears white kurta and dhoti with an orange scarf and a red-brown backpack. On the right, a man in orange-saffron robes holds a folded umbrella and a white plastic bag. A woman in white with an orange shawl stands between them, and a white-bearded elderly man in orange-striped clothing appears at the far right. Several other figures stand in the background.

A standing man in an orange-saffron sannyasi robe and matching orange turban with a small red tilak on the forehead stands on large grey granite boulders outdoors. He wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck, holds a tall twisted dark wooden staff in his left hand, and carries a dark metal water pot or kamandalu in his right. Palm trees and leafy trees fill the background under a pale sky. He has long dark hair falling past his shoulders. The image is a studio-style outdoor portrait.
