A photograph of a man walking along a dirt path beneath a large spreading tree with dense green foliage. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over his body and sandals, and he holds a single crutch in his right hand. Behind him, a second man in white clothes with an orange shawl walks along the path, and a red-brown mound of material sits near a raised platform at the far end of the clearing.

A figure in a flowing saffron-orange wrap walks outdoors on bare earth beneath a leafy tree with pale flowering sprigs, holding a long wooden walking stick in the right hand. A red mark is visible on the forehead. Behind, several people in white clothing stand near the trees, and at right a barefoot person in white ritual dress is visible. The setting appears to be a rural temple grounds during construction or ceremony.

Outdoor scene beside a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches, standing in a sandy courtyard edged by low white curved walls. In the foreground, three barefoot men in orange-saffron robes walk in a line; the front one carries a folded cloth, and the one at right has long dark hair and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind them, a bare-chested older man in a white dhoti wears a beaded necklace, and a group of men in white and light shirts, plus a small child in yellow, stand among the tree roots. A black cable runs along the ground at left. a person candidate: the figure at right with long hair and orange robes shows some visible cues, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough for a firm identification.

Outdoor photo under a large spreading tree with dense green leaves at an ashram site with sandy ground. Several men and youths walk along a path, mostly in white dhotis and white kurtas with saffron/orange shawls draped over their shoulders; one prominent man in the centre wears a white kurta with a white scarf and carries a long bamboo staff. Others carry slender bamboo poles or staves. A young person at left wears an orange garment and holds a bamboo pole. In the background a red-cloth-covered structure is visible. Some people appear in the distance under the branches. No individual is distinctively identifiable as a person from appearance cues in this frame.

A photograph of four men walking barefoot on a sandy path beneath a large old banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. The two foreground men wear saffron-orange robes; the man on the right has long dark hair swept back, is bare-chested with an orange wrap, and has his hand in his garment. The older man on the left has white hair and a white beard, wears a saffron robe and a beaded mala. Behind them a younger man in saffron with a gold pendant necklace walks, and a man in a white shirt and grey trousers stands further back. On the right edge, a red stone structure with a dark serpent sculpture curls along the ground.

Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with spreading aerial roots. A man in orange saffron clothing with a shawl and a white and orange floral garland walks barefoot on a dirt path, smiling, with long dark hair swept back. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl carries a woven basket. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk in procession, one older man wears a green-bordered white shawl. At right, a dark stone deity murti with a yellow and red flower garland stands on a red-painted base beside a painted serpent form. Visible people number about six to eight.

Outdoor photo of several saffron-robed men walking along a sandy path beneath a large banyan tree with orange flowers. A man with long dark hair and a tan shawl on the left carries a book. Next to him, a man in an orange turban gestures while speaking. Further right, a man in an orange turban and cream waistcoat walks barefoot beside a bald man in a golden-yellow robe. Behind them is a dark stone deity murti with a garland of marigolds, set on a red base. Several other monks in orange and white follow.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a flowing saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and body, walking barefoot on a dirt-and-stone path while holding a tall bamboo-like staff in his right hand, with a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him, a younger man in orange robes with a white forehead mark stands with arms folded, and a third man in white clothing stands further back. Massive banyan tree roots and trunks fill the background, with dry fallen leaves on the ground. The scene suggests a sannyasi procession or walk near a temple grove. The long-haired lead figure in saffron, with a staff and red tilak, fits the appearance cues associated with a person, but the face is not clearly identifiable, so the identity remains uncertain.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path beneath large shade trees. In the centre, a young man in a saffron-orange robe and orange shawl wears a long white and pink flower garland and walks with hands joined. Around him, men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk barefoot; the man at right carries a long staff with an orange cloth. A woman in a white sari with an orange border stands at far right. Flowering shrubs line the path at left. a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the central figure is described by role only as a garlanded devotee in saffron robes.
