Night photo of a paved garden path lined with palms and tropical shrubs, leading toward an illuminated white temple-like building with a shikhara-style rooftop and lit niches. Several people in orange and saffron robes walk toward the camera, with a woman in an orange sari with a red border at left, a man in white kurta and white dhoti at right, and a man in a yellow garment behind him. The figures are slightly blurred from motion. A large framed image is visible near the entrance. Graphic text in the corner reads a copyright notice.

A paved path through a lush garden leads toward a white stone temple with ornate carved parapets and a tall wooden flagstaff. Five people walk along the path: a woman in an orange sari with a red border and red blouse leads, followed by a woman in a light sari, then three men in white kurtas and dhotis, one wearing a yellow shawl over his white kurta and a rudraksha mala, another in white with a rudraksha mala, and a third in white behind them. Palms and colourful foliage line the path. Colourful hanging decorations are on the temple steps, and a portrait is visible in the temple entrance. The scene has no visible a person face-match cues beyond white ritual clothing and a rudraksha mala, so the candidate is uncertain.

Night photograph of a group walking along a dirt path lit by a street lamp, passing a leafy tree and a white wall. In the centre, a woman in a saffron-orange robe with a beaded necklace walks among devotees dressed in white dhotis and shirts with orange shawls. At the far right, a man in white raises one arm. Their footwear is bare or minimal. The scene resembles a devotional procession or walk, with no visible deity or ritual objects.

Night photograph of a group of devotees walking barefoot along a stone-paved path beside a dark stone wall, under a large tree whose branches overhang the scene. Many men wear white dhotis and white shirts with orange saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. Near the centre, a man in a long orange robe with a beaded necklace stands out among the white-clad group. A man on the right wears a light blue shirt and blue trousers and carries a small bouquet of flowers. The crowd appears to be processing or walking together after dark.

A night photograph of a barefoot procession walking along a dirt path lined with leafy trees. In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange robe and an orange turban leads, wearing a beaded necklace and carrying a garland-like rope; beside him a second man in a saffron-orange robe with a shaved head walks, with a few white-clad devotees and others behind them. A sign or path marker is visible at the right edge. The scene is dimly lit, with trees overhanging the path and warm light glowing from the background.

Night photograph of an open dirt courtyard among trees at an ashram. In the foreground, a man in saffron-orange robes walks forward, followed by another in orange carrying a brass kalasha or pot with green leaves on a tray. Behind them, a man in an orange robe and a few people in white dhotis walk through the courtyard. A woven mat rests on a table at the right edge.

Night procession on a dirt path under dark trees. Four men walk in front, leading a group: at left, a bald man in white shirt and dhoti holds a red torch and a red-and-yellow fringed umbrella pole overhead; beside him a man wears an orange shawl with gold border and orange dhoti. In the centre, a long-haired man in a full orange-saffron dhoti with gold-bordered pleats and a long gold-and-bead necklace, Swamiji (probable), walks barefoot-style in orange sandals and holds the beads. Behind him a woman in orange sari with maroon border and a man in white kurta follow. At right, a bald man in orange robe with a gold necklace and thin glasses walks with his hands at his sides. A man in white kurta and dhoti walks at far right, and more people are visible at the back in the dark.

Night photograph of a walking procession along a dirt path beside a red-and-white painted low wall. In front, a man in an orange saffron shawl and orange cloth, with long swept-back hair and a bare-chested upper body, walks forward. Behind him, two men in white kurta-style clothes with orange shawls walk; one holds a small torch or light. A man in white with an orange shawl is partly visible at the right edge. Dark trees and bushes fill the background. The front figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, but the image is dark and blurred, so the identity is uncertain.

Evening photograph of saffron-robed devotees walking along a reddish dirt path at night, lit by ambient light beneath dark trees and oleander bushes with pink flowers. In the foreground a young man in an orange dhoti and shawl walks barefoot, his arms at his sides. Behind him to the right, two men in orange garments carry brass vessels and trays, one holding a lit brass lamp. A white-clad figure stands at the far right edge. In the background a shrine area with red-and-white painted pillars and a small deity murti decorated with garlands.
