A photograph of a courtyard at a school-like compound with white single-storey buildings and corrugated roofs. A tall figure in full saffron-orange robes stands on dirt ground facing a line of children, many in casual shirts, shorts and dresses with lanyards. Two women stand nearby, one in a white sari with an orange shawl and another in a striped top, and a woman in a blue shirt stands at the right edge. The figure has long swept-back hair and appears to be the central figure, with distinctive orange robes, though the identity is uncertain. A small concrete bed with a planter is at the right.

Outdoor photo of a dusty open ground at a Hindu ashram compound, with a low white building under a green roof and palm and eucalyptus trees behind. Many people in white dhotis and white kurtas gather and move across the ground; several wear saffron or orange cloth draped over their shoulders, and a few wear pink, red or teal garments. A group of white-clad people is seated and standing on the left in front of the building, while a woman in orange and a woman in a light red sari walk near the centre. A young man in a blue shirt watches from the lower left. Scattered petals and debris cover the ground, and a red cloth or ribbon is visible in the foreground. No single figure can be identified as the a person from appearance, so the role is not established.

One older woman in the foreground wears a blue saree and holds papers, and another older woman in white holds a bag. Behind the windows, faint figures are visible inside the building. No a person candidate is visible in this image.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram campus on bare, sandy-brown ground. Several people are tending potted plants and planting along a row of terracotta pots under large shade trees.

A boy in a blue-and-white striped shirt and grey shorts stands barefoot near the pots. Other people in white and light-coloured clothing move among the plants, and a man in a grey shirt and blue trousers walks at right. Behind them stand a white building with a green metal roof and red-tiled eaves, and green lawns. No a person candidate is visible.

Outdoor photo on a dusty reddish-brown dirt clearing bordered by dense green trees. A group of about ten people walks in a loose line across the ground. Most wear white garments: white dhotis and white shirts, and several women wear white saris with orange or yellow borders. Several walkers have orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. The figure third from the right in the line wears a full orange robe and has long dark hair, and the person just behind him is in white. On the left, a man in white walks barefoot with his palms pressed together in greeting, and a man in a light shirt and grey trousers stands watching near the trees. At right, a man in white stands near a row of footwear placed on the ground, and a low brick stack sits by the trees.
