A photograph of a group walking across a dusty courtyard in front of a white-painted concrete building with an open glass-and-aluminium door. In the foreground a man with long dark hair tied up wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and gestures with his right hand; he has a bare upper body with a wrap over the shoulder and appears to be leading the group. Behind him, several people in white ritual clothes follow, and a man in orange cloth stands near a red metal frame at right. Some followers wear white dhotis and kurtas with necklaces. A visible sign inside the doorway is not legible. The mood is an arrival or procession at an ashram-type compound.

On the right, a long-haired man in an orange robe stands in the foreground with hands clasped at his waist, with a lineup of devotees in white behind him, some with hands folded in namaste. On the left, saffron-robed monks, one shaved-headed, stand near a table with a flower-decorated object. A woman in a white sari with gold border holds a bag, and a young girl in white stands among the group. The scene appears to be a procession or padukas ceremony.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard with a paved hexagonal-tiled path and a red-and-white painted step edge at left. At front left, a long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala walks barefoot; the appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha beads) are distinctive, and the page does not name him here, so the identity is uncertain. Beside him, a bald man in white with an orange shawl and a barefoot man in white with an orange shawl walk along. Behind them a line of men in white dhotis and kurtas, many with hands folded in anjali, stand in greeting; an older man in a lavender dhoti and shirt and a younger man in white with a rudraksha mala stand among them. Small stone deity murtis and a garland-draped doorway are visible in the background of the ashram buildings.

Behind them are white and red-doored buildings, a garland of yellow marigolds hanging on a doorway, and a small row of stone deity figures and a banyan-style tree at the left. Palm trees fill the background.

Outdoor evening scene at a firewalk pit: a dark ash-filled trench of glowing embers lies in packed dirt in the foreground.

A large crowd of mostly white-clad devotees and children stands behind, under a corrugated shelter, beneath a large painted banner of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange garments. a person: the orange-robed figure with long swept hair, in a firewalk setting, is. The banner shows a depiction of a turbaned figure with ceremonial garb. Several white-clad devotees hold hands together in prayer.
