A photo of a sadhu in an orange dhoti and orange shawl pouring water from a decorated white kalasha onto a row of concrete blocks dusted with turmeric and kumkum in an outdoor site. He has long dreadlocks, rudraksha malas, white markings on his forearms and face, and beaded bracelets. A blue tarpaulin lies on the ground at right beside a plain whitewashed wall and a green metal gate. No identifiable a person appearance cues are clear enough to confirm his identity, so he is described by role only.

A man with long, voluminous curly dark hair and an orange saffron garment draped over one shoulder pours water from a polished brass kalasha pot over a dark stone linga during an abhishekam. He wears a gold-beaded rudraksha-style mala and a red tilak on his forehead. A second person in orange clothing, partly visible, stands behind the linga with hands near the base. Water streams down the black linga onto a golden yoni-peetha base, and a brass vessel sits at the lower left. Warm lamp light fills the dim temple interior.

A photograph of a figure in an orange-saffron garment with a gold border and white and red garland of flowers draped over the shoulders, pouring water from a golden kalasha over a dark stone Shivalinga on a raised base. The figure has long dark hair, a red bindi on the forehead, a gold bangle, and a gold pendant necklace. Behind are strings of white jasmine and bright marigold garlands in orange, yellow, red and pink, and a white stone carved element at the top. The scene suggests abhishekam to a Shivalinga in an outdoor temple setting, with a blue sky and a black water tank visible on the left.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white vibhuti marks, wearing an orange saffron shawl and sleeveless orange garment and a gold bead necklace, pours water from a brass kalasha over a dark stone linga during abhishekam. Water splashes over the linga and its peetha. Another saffron-robed man stands behind him, and a third person in orange stands at the right edge. Several orange-clad people are partly visible in the frame.

A man with long, swept-back curly dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead pours water from a brass vessel over a dark stone shivalinga during an abhishekam. He wears an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a gold bead necklace of large round beads. Water splashes over the stone linga. To the left, a bearded man in orange robes stands partly visible, and another orange-clad figure appears at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the man pouring water has long swept-back hair, orange ornate clothing and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on an orange cushion over a woven mat, palms pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. He wears an orange sleeveless garment and a long rudraksha mala, with a small red bindi on his forehead. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits to his left on the bare ground. Behind him stand a wooden post, red signboards with white script, and orange stone pillars at an open outdoor ashram yard.

Photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes and a long gold bead necklace pouring water from a brass kalasha over a dark stone shivalinga during abhishekam.

Behind him to the left stands another orange-robed sadhu with long hair and a beard, and to the right a figure in orange with long dark hair is partly visible. Water streams down the stone linga onto a stone platform. Dark background with a carved stone cornice above.
