A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron wrap and a large pink and yellow flower garland with gold ceremonial ornaments. He stands under a concrete canopy with his head slightly bowed while a man in a striped shirt and a white-clad older man lean in toward him. On the right, a shaved-headed sannyasi in orange robes wears a long dark rudraksha mala and a pendant, and gravel and sand lie in the background with red-and-white fencing and trees.

Outdoor photo of a seated man in long dark hair, orange robe and a rudraksha mala with a gold ceremonial necklace, reaching out his right hand toward a bald, smiling monk kneeling at left wrapped in an orange shawl with palms pressed together. A standing man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange scarf stands behind them. A wooden tray of fruit sits beside them, and a flower arrangement of pink, purple and white blossoms decorates a stone ledge at right. The striped red-and-white wall behind suggests a temple setting.

A photograph of an outdoor courtyard at a house with a stone-slab path and a pergola of leafy vines behind. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow waist cloth holds up a long garland of pink flowers, gripped at both ends above his head. Facing him in the centre, a figure in a sleeveless saffron-orange top and orange dhoti turns with a hand extended toward the garland. To the left, a smiling man in a long orange kurta and orange dhoti stands with hands clasped. Another man in white stands in the background near a doorway, and a few hands are visible at the lower right. Pink flower petals are scattered on the tiled floor.

Outdoor festival scene under a bright sky with a red and gold parasol at the left edge. A central figure in an orange saffron garment wears a long red flower garland with a yellow flower tassel, a gold bead necklace, and a red bindi; the figure smiles while adjusting the garland. Nearby, a bald man in orange robes with a white flower garland stands at left, a man in white with a pink cloth is behind, and on the right a man in white with a yellow shawl and glasses presses his palms together in greeting. Several other devotees in white and orange stand around, and a woman is partly visible at the lower right. Two people in the foreground hold white and red flowers. Whether the central figure is a person is uncertain from appearance alone, so the identity is not stated.

Photograph of two young men in saffron-orange sannyasi dress standing in a doorway of a newly built open-sided shelter with a metal roof and red beam. The man on the right, wearing a large pink and yellow marigold garland and a rudraksha-style bead mala, smiles and gestures with his hands. The man on the left, with a shaved head and a rudraksha mala and bracelets, gestures and looks down. A third person in white ritual clothes stands behind them. Rose petals lie on the orange cloth at their feet, and a bamboo frame and palm trees are visible outside.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe standing outdoors before a white house with a green wall and black wrought-iron gate. He wears a red garland of flowers with green leaf accents and a long gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and has a red bindi on his forehead. He is smiling and looking to his left. Beside him, a second young man in an orange robe smiles and looks down, holding a white flower. Green plants and a red lattice wall are behind them. The visible cues of long swept hair, saffron robe, flower garland and gold necklace are consistent with the page's reference to a person, so the first figure is an appearance-based a person candidate.

A photograph of a hall with a corrugated roof and yellow walls where a man in a white shirt on the left faces a smiling man in saffron robes with a rudraksha headband, white jasmine garland, rudraksha bracelet and a pink flower garland in his hands. The saffron-robed man bears a white forehead marking with a red dot and seems to be receiving or offering garlands. Beside him stands a second saffron-clad priest with a gold necklace and a white-marked forehead, and a woman in a green sari with glasses. Devotees in white stand along the right side of the hall.
