A seated man in orange robes and a yellow knitted cap sits on an orange plastic chair under a corrugated tin roof, facing a group standing in a short line. Several devotees stand before him: a bald man in orange garments and a rudraksha mala at the left edge, two women in white with orange shawls (one in a cream sari with orange border), a young woman in white with an orange shawl, and a bald young man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border and beaded necklaces at the right, hands clasped at his chin. Behind them, more people in orange and white stand near a white-draped table, and a man in white holds a camera. Two decorative kalasha-like pillars stand at the back. The page cites a 2012 relief-work event but the scene shows only a sitting teacher and attending devotees.

A photograph of a covered verandah with a white plastered wall and a corrugated metal roof. A man in an orange cap and orange robe sits on a red plastic chair in the centre, with his slippers on the floor in front of him. Beside him a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands facing him, and another white-clad man stands at left, wearing a rudraksha mala. A standing figure in orange robes is in the background near a doorway, and a small table holds a projector and a glowing light. Sandals rest on the dirt floor at lower left.

A photograph taken in a covered, whitewashed veranda at dusk. A seated man in an orange turban, orange robe and orange sandals sits on an orange plastic chair, smiling, with a pair of orange-robed women standing before him with their backs partly turned to the camera; one has her hair in a bun with an orange ribbon. To the right a bald man in an orange robe with a rudraksha-style mala stands with his hands clasped, and two men in white stand behind, one in a white dhoti and shawl with a mala, and one in a white shirt with arms folded. Ripe yellow mangoes sit on a concrete bench at left, and a mat lies on the floor.

A photo taken on a covered verandah with a corrugated metal roof and a striped awning at left. A seated man in an orange saffron turban, orange robe and orange dhoti-style garment, wearing orange sandals, sits on a plain wooden chair while holding a phone. Standing before him, a man in an orange robe and orange shawl with a rudraksha mala looks toward him, and a line of people stands along the wall: women in orange shawls and white saris, and men in white dhotis and sacred threads.

Night photograph of a small outdoor ritual gathering on a mat-covered floor beneath dark trees and an orange-washed wall. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair sits on a chair beside a table holding a brass tray of flower petals and offerings, extending a hand toward a kneeling man in a blue shirt who presses his palms together in devotion. Around them stand several men in white dhotis and orange shawls, one holding a small object, and an older man in white at right with his palms joined. Other people are attendants and devotees.

A photograph of an indoor gathering in a plain room with cream walls, white curtains and a woven thatch ceiling. An elderly white-bearded man with a shaved head and tripundra markings, wearing a cream dhoti and bare-chested, sits on a light green cushioned throne-like seat. Beside him a man in a saffron robe with a green-bordered cloth sits. On the right, a long-haired man in saffron clothing with a garland of orange flowers sits on a chair. A bald man in saffron stands at left gesturing while speaking. A young man in white and a woman in a pink sari stand or sit in the background, with a child in saffron at lower left.

Outdoor temple courtyard at dusk with a stone shrine holding a deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, with brass lamps and a kalasha-style offering before it. A man seated on a grey upholstered sofa, with white beard and orange robe, leans back and laughs, while a younger man in orange sits beside him smiling. A man in white dhoti and orange shawl kneels on the green mat in front of the sofa, smiling, and an orange-robed attendant stands at the right edge. Several people in white clothes and orange shawls stand in the background near a red tapestry, and an orange-robed devotee holds an umbrella with tasselled fringe at the left. Six or more people are visible; the photograph is a candid scene of a meeting between devotees and the seated elder.

A seated man in an orange turban, orange robe and long rudraksha mala sits on a cushioned sofa in a brick-pillared veranda, hands resting in his lap. Opposite him a man in a white striped shirt bends forward with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them a seated group of devotees in orange shawls and white clothes fills the veranda, one woman in a blue embroidered top in the right foreground. The orange-clad figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person candidate, with turban, orange robe and rudraksha cues, but identity is uncertain.

A gold-and-red throne canopy scene under a tent. A seated figure in saffron robes sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-form arms, surrounded by brass trays of offerings. Standing before the throne, a line of devotees in white and bright clothing press palms together in prayer; one woman wears a yellow and multicolour sari. Two saffron-clad attendants stand nearby, one holding a white flower garland. Striped and patterned rugs cover the floor, and a red cloth backdrop hangs behind. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description of the event, but the face and identity cannot be confirmed from the image, so the seated figure is recorded as a sannyasi on a throne.
