Outdoors on a paved courtyard beside a silver SUV with its rear door open, three men walk away from the camera. The man at right wears an orange-yellow sanyasi shawl over his bare shoulder, with a rudraksha mala on his wrist and a bare, shaved head. In the centre, a man with long swept-back grey hair wears a red shawl and holds a folded cloth or packet. At left, a shaved-head man in orange wears a rudraksha mala. Behind them, palm trees, flowering trees and a building, with a few onlookers in white shirts and dhotis at left.

A man with long dark hair and a saffron-orange shawl over a saffron garment walks down a threshold toward an open courtyard, smiling, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck. He is accompanied by a younger person in white dhoti clothing beside him. Behind them, two women in cream and yellow saris stand on a paved area with bamboo mats, and a silver SUV is parked nearby. Along the courtyard edge stand rows of grey stone statues and colourful hanging banners with tassels. A printed map sign and a framed picture hang on the wall at left. The man's appearance, with long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, is a probable match for a person, shown walking in a procession setting.

Outdoor photograph of a dirt courtyard beside terracotta-red buildings with green corrugated roofs and flowering shrubs. A man in orange robes strides forward on the left, while a bearded man in a red robe walks in the centre beside a figure in white and an elderly man in an orange shawl and dhoti, with a boy in orange and a few people in white behind. A white pickup truck and a silver SUV are parked nearby. Several figures are visible in the group, with the elderly man in orange shawl and the bearded man in red as the most prominent. Their identities are not established from appearance.

Outdoor photo on a dirt-and-paved courtyard in front of a grey block boundary wall with palm trees behind it. A procession of many devotees walks toward the camera. Two central men in saffron-orange robes walk barefoot in front; the man on the left carries a tray-like vessel, and the man in the center wears a saffron wrap and is placed as the lead figure. Behind them, men and women wear white dhotis and white shirts or saris, several with saffron-orange shawls, and some hold their hands joined in greeting. A woman in a blue-and-white sari stands at the left edge with her hands joined. A silver SUV and a small car are parked behind the wall. A red-and-white striped platform edge lies at the lower right.

A photograph on a dusty open ground beside a silver SUV decorated with blue, white, red, orange and pink balloons. In the foreground a long-haired figure with bare back and shoulders, wrapped in an orange saffron cloth, stands facing away from the camera. Behind, a group of about six people in the distance: a man in white trousers and light shirt, a man in dark clothing, two monks in maroon-red robes, and a man in a light blue shirt, with white buildings, palm trees and a thatched hut in the background.

A photograph of an open-air ashram grounds on a dusty dirt path with palm trees, a dead bare tree and a thatched hut at left. In the foreground, a figure with long dark hair seen from behind wears an orange-saffron wrap and walks away from the camera; the back is bare. A silver SUV stands at left with its door open and multicoloured balloon decorations in red, blue, white and orange tied to its bonnet and mirror. Behind, several people in white shirts, a man in a dark shirt, and two monks in maroon-red robes walk along a path toward a white building. A person in a white dhoti and orange shawl stands at right. The scene appears to be a welcome or arrival with balloons and a decorated vehicle.

Outdoor photo of a group ascending a concrete step at a temple-like building entrance with a tall palm-lined courtyard behind. In front, two men in saffron-orange robes walk barefoot: the left one wears a dark-red bordered orange dhoti and holds a hand near his waist, while the central man has long dark hair swept back and wears a plain orange shawl over his shoulder. Behind them, devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls follow, and an older man with a white beard and white clothes plus a beaded necklace stands at right beside a man in white. A silver SUV is parked on the courtyard with an orange-clothed passenger visible inside. A red and white striped low wall and a tall ceremonial pole with a copper top stand in the background.
