Outdoors beside a waterfall in lush jungle, a man with long swept-back dark hair waves while smiling. He wears a red-orange wrap, a bare upper body, a yellow-banded cloth and a large orange-and-yellow flower garland. Behind him, a photographer in white kurta and sandals kneels on rocks with a camera, and a shaved-headed boy in saffron-orange clothing with a garland sits on a boulder. Other people in white stand near the falls.2014-12-17December 17 20142014-12-17Outdoor photo on a sandy beach at dusk with a pale sky and trees behind. A central seated figure wearing a red-maroon turban, rudraksha mala necklaces and a red-maroon robe sits on a gold-legged bench with a leopard-print cushion, with bare feet in shallow water. Standing around are men in white dhoti-style clothing with red sashes and rudraksha malas, another man in a red robe, a woman in a gold-bordered cream sari, and a man in a white shirt with a red lanyard. Several other participants stand behind in the crowd. Several people are visible, roughly 21-100 in the wider group.2015-12-21Outdoor photograph on a grassy slope before a forested hill. A long-haired man in saffron-orange garments with a golden-yellow shawl draped over one shoulder stands smiling, wearing a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red forehead mark, holding a small metal implement in his right hand. Behind him, two seated men in yellow-orange cloth sit on the ground near a palm tree, and a partially visible man in white clothing stands at the right edge.

Beside him is a gold ceremonial object and an orange hand towel, with a video camera on a tripod nearby. Around him, several men in saffron robes with gold beaded malas and white forehead markings stand, while a bald man in white kneels with his hands pressed together in prayer near the bottom left.
