A photograph outdoors under leafy trees, showing a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a dark rudraksha mala walking barefoot along a path of hexagonal stepping stones set in dirt. He has a pale tilak mark on his forehead and his head is bowed, eyes lowered. Behind him, a second man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a dark bead mala follows along the path. A large vine-wrapped tree trunk stands at left, with a purple circular sign hanging in the branches and a red building in the background. The sign and foliage frame the scene, which appears to be an ashram grounds walking path.

Night photograph outdoors beneath a large dark tree at an ashram. A barefoot man in a long orange saffron cloth walks forward with eyes lowered and a red tilak on his forehead, his shoulders bare, his hair long and swept back. Behind him, several people in white clothes with orange shawls carry a lit oil lamp and a red woven basket. On the right, a person in white kneels near a small red-draped altar and a brass vessel, while a deity murti in orange cloth sits on a red-and-white decorated base. Faint hanging roots and a lamp-lit ground frame the scene. a person: the walking figure in orange has long swept-back hair, a saffron cloth and a bare-chested ascetic presentation, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity; the scene shows arati-style offerings with a lamp.

Dusk scene on a dirt path beneath large trees, with a low concrete curb on the left. Several men walk in a line. Four or five wear saffron/orange robes with bare feet, including a shaved-headed monk in the foreground and another monk behind him. Two men on the left wear white dhotis and white shirts with yellow shawls and beaded necklaces. A green hedge and a concrete wall with red-topped posts stand in the background.

Night photograph on a dirt path beneath dark trees, with leafy branches framing the left and right edges. In the foreground a bare-chested man in an orange cloth wrap walks toward the camera, with dark swept-back hair and a ceremonial marking on his forehead; the page notes a person at this event, but his appearance alone is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm, so he is described by role as a devotee in orange. Behind him several people in white clothes and orange shawls walk in procession, one woman in white carrying a small lit oil lamp, and another person carries a red cloth bag. A red-painted mound or offering area with stones is visible in the background near a dim lamp glow.

Night photograph at an outdoor ashram ground lit by a few distant lights. In the foreground a young man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a loose orange saffron wrap over his body and walks forward with eyes lowered. Behind him, two men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk on the reddish earth; one carries a small object in his hands. At right stands a red-painted pedestal topped with a white stepped base and a vertical metal pole. The page presents this as a person at an arathi event, but the figure's appearance is only moderately distinctive, so the identity is marked uncertain. Three people are visible.
