A photograph of a young man with shoulder-length dark hair and a vertical tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron wrap draped over one shoulder, standing beside a woven bamboo lattice and a thatched shelter. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and shirts, and one in orange, stand along a wire fence, one holding a metal cane. The scene suggests a gathering at an ashram event.

A photograph of a group gathered on a dirt path in front of a thatched-roof white building with blue doors and a small fence. A figure in a bright orange dhoti with long, dark, uncovered hair and a bare chest stands at left, pointing toward the group. In the centre, a bearded man in an orange robe and orange turban faces them, with other men in white dhotis and orange shawls around him. On the right, a long-haired man in a yellow robe and a bearded man in orange robes stand near men in white shirts and white dhotis wearing orange shawls. Green trees and a cloudy sky are in the background.

Outdoor photograph beside large rounded granite boulders and a dark leafy tree. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange draped robe stands in the foreground, looking to the side with one arm extended and the other hand raised. Behind him, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt with dark-framed glasses and a dark cord necklace with a pendant stands with his hands together.

A photograph inside a thatched-roof hut with a palm-frond ceiling and cement block walls. A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala around the neck and a red tilak on the forehead, smiles while another man in white dhoti and white shawl stands at right holding a small object. At left, a man in white clothes with an orange shawl faces toward the centre and extends his hand. Bedding, folded cloth, bags and boxes lie on a wooden cot and the floor.

Close side-view photograph of a man with long black hair tied back, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, raising his right hand near his face in a gesture of mantra or blessing. Behind him, another person in orange robes is partially visible at the right edge, with green foliage and pale rocks in the background.

A photograph of an outdoor homa ritual on a dusty ground beside bare tree roots. A man seated on a carved wooden throne-like chair wears an orange saffron robe over white, has long swept-back hair and a tilak on his forehead, and gestures with his right hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Beside him, a younger man in a white dhoti and orange shawl sits cross-legged on a blue cloth with his hands folded. In front are a brass bowl of ghee-like offering, a ladle, a silver kalasha-style vessel, a small silver pot, a white cloth and a pink flower on a low stack of white bricks, which mark the ritual fire area. The seated man is a person in an appearance-based sense, with long hair and orange robes, while the younger man is a devotee and assistant.

To the left, a man in white kurta and white dhoti wears an orange shawl and a bead necklace. On the right, a man in white with an orange shawl raises a hand toward the centre. Several children and onlookers stand in the background.
