A photo of a shaded garden path lined with trimmed shrubs and a low stone border, with a row of people walking toward the camera. In front, a man with long dark hair wears a blue dhoti-style wrap and a garland of beads and flowers, his hands folded in prayer. Behind him, men in white dhotis and shawls walk in procession, one bald man in white with a yellow-edged cloth. Palm trees and a red building stand in the background.

In the foreground a man with long dark hair wears a turquoise-blue wrap and a beaded garland, walking barefoot on sandy ground.

A procession walks along a narrow garden path shaded by trees. In the foreground a woman in a blue sari wears a long beaded garland and carries a small brass object in her hands. Behind her, several men in white dhotis with gold-bordered and red-bordered cloth and white upper wraps walk barefoot; one carries a silver tray, and another wears a gold-trimmed shawl and a beaded necklace. Behind them more people in white clothing follow along the path past potted plants and a red-and-white structure. Overcast light filters through the leaves.

Photograph of a shaded dirt path through a garden at an ashram, lined with low shrubs and bordered by concrete kerbing. In the foreground, two figures walk away from the camera: a young person in an orange-saffron cloth with a red-orange garland, and a person in a violet-purple robe with a multi-strand bead garland, walking barefoot. Behind them, a line of people in white ritual clothing and saffron garments follows along the path toward a reddish-orange building. A white sheet or banner hangs on a structure in the background, under tall palm trees.

Outdoor photo of a shaded dirt path through a garden with leafy trees and low shrubs. Several men in saffron-orange robes walk single file: the foreground figure in a red-pink dhoti and shawl wears a garland of marigolds and holds a brass tray; other men in orange wear beaded necklaces, and one bald man in orange with a rudraksha-style garland walks at the front-left. Behind them, people in white and orange clothing move along a path near a red-walled building. No candidate shows distinctive long hair, crown, or ceremonial gold necklace clearly enough to identify anyone, so the people are described by role and clothing only.

A group of devotees walks barefoot along a red-earth path beside a white-walled building with a green hedge and flowering purple bougainvillea. Most wear white kurtas, shawls and white salwar or dhoti-style clothing; one older woman in a yellow sari leans on a cane, and a man on the right in a white kurta wears a red-and-brown rudraksha-style mala. Leafy trees overhang the path. A large wall poster with a portrait and printed text stands at left. The procession appears to be a morning walk between sessions.

A photograph of a dirt path under leafy trees. A person in a flowing saffron-orange robe walks barefoot in the centre with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a long dark swept-back hair and an orange beaded necklace. Behind and beside them, several people in white dhotis and white kurtas walk along the path, one older man in white with a white shawl and necklace at left. A blue-and-white tent edge is visible at right. Probable Swamiji (saffron robe, long swept-back hair, orange beaded mala) is shown walking in procession with devotees.

A group of about a dozen people in white clothing walks single file along a sandy path shaded by large trees at an ashram. Several wear flower garlands around their necks.

On the right, two women walk with garlands, one in a colourful patterned shawl.
