Night photo at an outdoor evening event. A figure seated from behind wears an orange turban and orange robe and has a large white jasmine garland draped over the shoulders, and holds a red fruit in one hand. Facing him, a man on the left wears white shirt and trousers with a dark bead necklace and a gold pendant, hands pressed together in greeting and smiling. Beside him, another man in white shirt and dark-rimmed glasses, a man in a white shirt with dark bead necklace and a beige vest, and a woman in white with red-bordered sari stand close. Behind them a crowd sits along a white barrier, with banana plants, string lights and hanging garland decorations overhead.

A stage event where a long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe and a white flower garland stands barefoot on a low cream step, bending forward with hands together. Beside them a man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-and-gold shawl folds his hands in greeting, and another man in white bends low to touch the feet of the robed figure. On the right a bald man in a white dhoti and red-and-gold shawl holds a microphone and gestures while speaking. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at the back left holding a microphone. Cream sofa-style chairs and a navy blue curtain form the backdrop.

A photograph of a devotional blessing at an ashram setting. A woman in an orange sari with a white flower garland stands center, smiling, as a robed figure in orange and white places a hand on her head. To the left, bald men in white clothing stand with hands pressed together in namaste, and a young man in white is nearby. Behind them are wooden railings and a red-and-white painted wall. No candidate is confidently identifiable from appearance, so the robed blessing figure is described by role only.

Photograph taken under a metal-framed tent roof at dusk. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe, red and white flower garlands and a rudraksha mala, stands on a raised platform decorated with white and multicoloured flower garlands. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts stand and kneel on a striped green-and-red mat strewn with petals; one man in white kneels barefoot near the platform. A younger man in an orange shawl holds a trident-like staff wrapped in flowers, and a man at lower left wears an orange shawl with a red forehead mark. Several onlookers, including an older woman in a red sari at right, watch the scene.

A night-time procession on a street with many devotees dressed in white dhotis and shirts, several holding white flags with a blue emblem on poles. In the centre, a smiling man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a thick white-and-red flower garland draped over his shoulders, walks forward. Swamiji (probable) is marked by the saffron turban and robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland. To his left, a man in white shirt and trousers wears a rudraksha mala and holds a garland. Another man in orange shawl and white attire with a rudraksha mala walks beside him, and streetlights glow in the background.

Night outdoor event with a man in a white shirt bowing with palms pressed together while another man in a white turban, long dark hair and a yellow-and-white shawl extends a rudraksha-style mala toward him. Behind them stand a few other men in white, and a third man at left in white with a garland-like necklace looks on. Decorated banners with painted bird and animal motifs and a dark background of buildings and lights frame the scene.
