A photograph of a man in orange saffron robes standing on white and red-striped temple steps outdoors. He has long, swept-back dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, and wears a long necklace of large gold beads and a gold-bordered orange shawl draped over one shoulder with the other shoulder bare. He looks downward with his hands held near his waist. Behind him a dark stone deity murti stands beside a white-draped figure against a reddish temple wall, with green foliage on the left. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold bead necklace, though the appearance is not fully certain.

A man in an orange saffron sannyasi garment walks down a red-walled corridor toward a doorway, looking downward. He wears a long rudraksha mala with a large round pendant, gold-toned armlets and bangles, and has a red tilak mark on his forehead with his hair swept back. Behind him stands an open cream door, a hanging brass bell, and a wall with a dark board. A small patterned mat lies on the white step in front.

Photograph of a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange draped garment with gold border, wearing a gold-beaded necklace, standing barefoot on a concrete floor in a courtyard with red and white walls. Behind, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with gold-bordered cloth, a sacred thread-style mala and a tilak on the forehead stands with palms joined near a barred window. To the right, an ornately carved wooden stand supports a silver vessel. One figure is a person in orange with long hair and gold necklaces, plausibly a person by appearance cues alone; the second man is a priest-like attendant in white.

A man with long dark hair and a bare chest walks barefoot on a red carpet beside a silver metal railing, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold-coloured borders and a heavy gold bead necklace. Behind him stand colourful painted pillars in red, blue and yellow, and seated figures in yellow and red garments appear at the left, possibly deity murti or devotees. The setting appears to be a temple hall with woven mats on the floor.

A standing man in an orange saffron wrap with gold zari borders, draped over one shoulder, wears a long necklace of gold-toned round beads with a dark rudraksha-style cord at the neck. He has long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, and his hands rest near his waist. Behind him are trees, green foliage and a low pale wall on a dirt ground. Appearance-based label: a person, with qualifying cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold beads; the page indicates he is not at this event, so the candidate is shown in a single photograph.

A man with long dark hair and a red bindi walks forward with eyes lowered, wearing a flowing saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder and a long necklace of large gold beads. Behind him, two men in white dhotis and shawls with gold borders follow; the one on the left carries a white box and the one on the right holds a gold plate. A maroon curtain and a projector screen are visible in the background, and a white banner stands at the left edge.

A photograph of a young man walking barefoot on a concrete path in the early morning light. He wears an orange saffron wrap with a maroon border over his shoulder and draped round the lower body, a gold beaded necklace with a gold pendant, and a white sacred ash line with a red dot on his forehead. Behind him, to the left, another man in white ritual dhoti with a red border and a gold necklace walks along the path beside a red metal gate. A red brick wall and green trees stand in the background. A partial figure in white appears at the right edge.

Three men in saffron-orange robes stand in a temple doorway with pink-washed walls and a stone pillar. The central man has long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti line and a multi-strand rudraksha mala, and holds a light blue plastic bag. A bald man in orange on the left wears a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark. On the right a man in orange with a gold ceremonial necklace carries a yellow cloth bag. Several more people in white and orange stand behind them inside the doorway.
