A photograph of a shaded dirt path lined with trees and shrubs, with a crowd of mostly men in white shirts and dhotis or trousers walking along it. At the center, a woman in a saffron-orange sari with a rudraksha mala walks forward, flanked by a man in a lime-green shirt and dark trousers carrying a white shopping bag. Behind them, a man in a white outfit with a saffron-and-white sash and a white cap walks among the group. A parked silver SUV and a large black speaker stand among the trees, with pale buildings in the background.

Outdoor photo of a group walking along a paved pink-and-cream patterned path beside a white SUV and green trees. A central figure wears an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body with a shawl-like wrap, with long dark hair swept back; he is flanked by a man in an orange robe on the left and devotees in white kurtas and a grey shirt. Other men in white and light-coloured shirts walk nearby, and a building with a red-brown facade stands in the background.

Outdoor ritual at a dirt-floored ashram courtyard framed by banana-leaf and young palm posts. A man in an orange saffron robe with a red-bordered wrap, a heavy gold-beaded necklace and a shaved head rings a small handbell while standing before a brass tray of food. Behind him a man in white with a yellow shawl holds a plate, and another man in white with a yellow shawl and a rudraksha-style mala stands nearby. In the foreground a younger man in a yellow shawl and white clothes carries a brass tray of banana-leaf bowls filled with white rice-like offerings. Seated people in white clothes sit on the left beside brass vessels, and a small rolling white van and thatched shelters stand in the background. Plainly, a ritual offering is being performed with bells and food bowls.

Outdoor street scene beside a dark car at an entrance with trees behind. A shaved-headed monastic in orange robes with a red-striped sash stands at left, seen from behind. Centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears a maroon-brown wrap with a gold border and a long rudraksha mala, and a woman in white with a saffron-orange shawl and gold bangles lifts a white and red flower garland toward him. Two more shaved-headed monastics in orange and white stand nearby, and a man in a light green shirt stands at right. Several people are gathered behind.

Outdoor crowd scene at a festival gathering with many devotees in white and saffron-orange clothing. In the centre, a man with a golden head-wrap and bindi smiles while a bearded man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala raises his hand beside him; he has a long swept-back ponytail-like hairstyle and a bead necklace. Behind them, people hold tall wooden poles with an orange and yellow canopy, a man on the left holds a brass kalasha-like pot with greenery, and a young girl in a blue dress stands at the right. Several men in white shirts with orange shawls surround the group.

Outdoor photo at a temple-style entrance framed by an open doorway. A tall, long-haired man in a saffron-orange wrap and dhoti walks forward, a rudraksha-style necklace visible at his neck, and a bald priest in white with an orange-red shawl walks beside him, holding a long cane. A younger man in white with a yellow shawl stands at right, holding an orange umbrella. A row of women in white, yellow and green saris stands on the left, and a red banner reading Life Bliss Program hangs on a pillar. Palm trees and dark stone statues stand in the background courtyard.

A procession of devotees walks along a dusty dirt road lined with palm trees under a bright sky. At the centre, a woman in orange robes with a red head wrap and an elderly woman in orange with a red and white beaded mala lead the group, supported by a man in saffron-orange clothing. On the right, a bare-chested elder with a white beard, gold pendant and rudraksha malas wears a white dhoti with a striped border and carries a staff. Behind them, men in white and yellow dhotis and saffron-orange sashes walk, and a multicoloured canopy umbrella with fringed edges is held overhead. Green gates and a small red-roofed shrine stand behind the crowd.

Group photo inside an ornately carved temple corridor with pillars and stone reliefs, evening light, crowd behind. Five men pose close together. The central man wears a long dark brown-maroon wrap, a long rudraksha mala and a bead garland, with a long swept-back hair style and a tilak on his forehead, smiling broadly. Men on either side wear plain white dhoti-and-shirt ritual clothing; one wears glasses and has a red tilak mark, another wears a red wristband. At far left a man wears a red-orange dhoti and rudraksha beads. The central man's appearance matches the a person cues of long hair, a rudraksha mala and dark ceremonial wrap, though identity is uncertain.
