Four people walk barefoot along a sandy path beside a whitewashed wall in an outdoor ashram setting. Leading on the left, a man in orange robes and an orange turban wears a rudraksha mala and holds his hands together at his chest. Next, an older man in orange with an orange turban and rudraksha beads carries a small book. Third, a bald man in a long orange wrap walks with a red tilak on his forehead. On the right, a man in white dhoti and shirt walks behind, while an older man in orange with a golden-bordered shawl and beaded necklace walks closest to the camera. Behind them, a blue curtain and a banana-leaf decoration hang at an open doorway under a tree.

A photograph of a procession on a paved temple-side path near a tall gopuram tower. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange saffron robe, a green leaf garland and a gold-coloured bead necklace, with a red forehead mark, and smiles as he walks. Beside him, an older bearded man in a saffron shawl and a white cloth walks. Another man in an orange shawl and white dhoti stands at right, and a man with a large floral garland is at the far right. Several men in white shirts, one wearing a pink rosette, and an older man in a light green shirt are in the crowd behind. A corrugated shelter and kolam designs on the ground are visible. Probable Swamiji (the centre figure, long hair, orange robe, green garland and beaded necklace), shown in person.

Outdoor photo on a dirt yard in front of a building with a grey gate and a leafy tree behind. A bearded man with long grey hair in white kurta and dhoti stands at left, gesturing with his hand. Next to him, a bearded sannyasi in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and arms crossed listens. At center right, a younger man with long dark swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala wears an orange robe and sandals, speaking with hands clasped. Beside him, a bearded man in a white dhoti with an orange shawl holds a mala. Several men in white shirts and trousers stand in the background, and a white car and red bunting appear at right. Swamiji (probable) is the young man at right in orange robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala.

Photograph of a group walking through a doorway in a plain interior. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and red markings on his chest, smiling and gesturing with his hand, is at centre. Beside him a man in white shirt and dhoti walks in the foreground. Behind them men in white dhotis and shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, follow, and a man at left holds a garland of yellow and pink flowers. A woven mat lies on the floor at bottom, and a printed notice is pinned to the wall at right. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man in the orange robe, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala; he is in person.

A photograph of a group walking outdoors along a plain concrete path beside a pale wall and a small shrine niche with a painted deity image and a framed picture. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban wears a long white flower garland and rudraksha beads, smiling as he walks. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, several with orange shawls or rudraksha malas and one carrying a bundle, walk in attendance. A man in a striped shirt stands at the right edge, and a tilak-marked man in white with a rudraksha mala walks at the left foreground. The setting resembles a temple or ashram courtyard.
