Three saffron-robed sannyasis walk toward the viewer. The central figure has long hair, a long rudraksha mala, and a gold-trimmed saffron robe; a sannyasi on the left wears a saffron shawl and rudraksha mala, and another on the right wears a saffron robe with gold borders. A man in white clothes walks behind them. Scattered petals cover the carpet, and a red and gold cloth hangs at the right beside a chair.

A photograph of four men walking along a covered brick walkway outside a building, with parked vehicles and greenery in the background. On the right, a man with a shaved head and dark hair swept back, wearing a gold-threaded reddish-brown dhoti, a gold garland and a gold-and-pearl necklace, walks barefoot and smiles. Behind him, a white-bearded elder in saffron-orange robes with a red flower garland carries a staff. A saffron-clad attendant holds a decorative white-and-gold parasol above the group. Two other men in reddish-brown dhotis walk nearby, one with a rudraksha mala. Four physical people are visible.

Photograph of a group walking through a doorway framed by banana stalks and hanging leaves. At centre, a smiling young man wears an orange-red turban, an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a long white-and-red flower garland. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, some wearing orange lanyards, follow closely; one older man has a white ritual mark on his forehead. A man in white at the right foreground looks down. Several more people stand in the background. The page indicates a visit to a temple with satsang; the setting is not otherwise labelled.

A procession of men in ceremonial clothing walks across a paved courtyard beneath a red and gold umbrella with tasselled fringe. The central figure wears a maroon garment with gold border and a heavy dark rudraksha mala across the chest, with long hair and red-brown forehead marks. Beside him a man in orange with gold-bordered cloth and a yellow-flower garland carries a silver tray holding a kalasha with mango leaves and marigolds. Behind them, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and a red-clothed man follow, and at right an orange-robed man with rudraksha beads and an orange wrist band walks with hands joined. A white vehicle is visible at upper left.

A photograph of a barefoot procession walking along a dirt path lined with a rope-and-stick fence toward a golden arched gateway framing a black ganesha murti. In front, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style cloth, multiple strands of rudraksha beads across his chest and gold bangles, and a green parrot perches on his shoulder. Beside him, a bald man in a red-orange cloth with a gold border and a gold-beaded necklace carries a small orange object. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white dhotis with white forehead markings follow, and a woman in a white sari with gold border holding a garland stands at the left. Trees and foliage fill the background.

A procession outdoors on a paved courtyard in bright daylight. In the centre an elderly man with a long white beard and a red flower garland walks in an orange robe and orange shoes, holding a ceremonial staff topped with a small ornament. Beside him a younger bare-chested man with dark, swept-back hair wears a brown-gold dhoti and a heavy ornate gold necklace with rudraksha beads, smiling as he walks. Several shaven-headed men in orange and brown dhotis with rudraksha malas flank them, one holding a ceremonial umbrella overhead, and a figure in white stands behind. A white car and a red building with a green gate are in the background.
