Photograph of a temple courtyard with palm trees and a white-walled shrine area. In the centre, a long-haired man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a red tilak walks forward smiling, with bare shoulder on one side. Behind him, a second man in orange robes follows, and to the right a bald man in orange robes and a gold-beaded necklace adjusts an orange cloth over his head with both hands. A man in white with a yellow shawl stands further back, and a person in white with folded hands stands at left by a potted plant. A green mat lies at the doorway and a copper-topped flagpole with garlands stands at right.

A photograph of three people entering a building doorway decorated with a green leafy garland and yellow flower strings. In the centre, a smiling person with shoulder-length dark hair wears a saffron-orange draped robe and walks barefoot over a black rubber doormat. To the right, another person in a saffron-orange robe with a red border walks barefoot toward the entrance. To the left, a person in plain white clothes and a white shirt with a pendant necklace covers their mouth with a hand while holding a white booklet. Behind them are palm trees, a grey stone statue and white pillars on a paved courtyard.

Two people in saffron-orange robes walk outdoors on a paved path beside a yellow metal gate, with palm trees and a stone structure behind them under bright sunlight. The man on the left, bare-armed with a short crop and a tilak on his forehead, smiles and gestures with one hand. The figure on the right has long, swept-back dark hair and wears an orange shawl over the robe, holding a small object in one hand. Footwear sits on the ground near red and white painted posts.

Outdoor temple courtyard with palm trees and sandy ground. A man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha-style bead necklace walks barefoot along a matting path up stone steps toward a raised platform. Behind him, a figure in white dhoti walks; to the right, two men in white dhotis with red borders stand with hands folded. Behind them, tall colourful pillars with painted floral and bird patterns, and granite deity sculptures and orange-red shrines appear on the left. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads.

Outdoor photo at an ashram courtyard with coconut palms behind. A long-haired man in orange saffron robes and a dark rudraksha mala walks forward at centre, with a bare-armed man in orange garments at right and a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-white scarf at left holding papers. A man in white with a gold necklace stands behind the centre figure. Behind them a white-clad attendant with a yellow shawl walks across a sandy yard with fire pits, a decorated orange cart with garlands and a yellow-and-green arch stands at right, and a yellow-fringed canopy shades the left edge. Several people in white and light shirts stand in the background.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram procession on a sandy courtyard with palm and coconut trees behind. In the centre, a barefoot figure with long dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-orange shawl and dhoti with a dark rudraksha mala, walking up steps. Beside and behind them, men in white dhotis and white kurtas with saffron/orange shawls follow, and a man in orange robes walks at the left edge. Several white-clad devotees and onlookers stand on the right, and a white table with items sits near the left. The scene resembles a ritual procession toward a building entrance.

A photograph taken under a open-sided shelter with a palm grove behind it. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala walks forward at the centre, with a bald man in a white kurta and an orange shawl at left and another man in an orange robe at right. Several people in white garments follow behind. A decorated vehicle with orange and pink floral garlands sits outside under the trees, and a yellow-and-orange canopy stands at the left edge.

Two people in saffron-orange robes walk barefoot up a tiled step outdoors. The foreground figure, with short dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala, carries nothing and looks down. Behind them a second figure in saffron, with a shaved head and folded hands, follows. Behind the steps stands a black cabinet. In the background, people in white clothes stand near a yellow pole, stacks of firewood, round fire pits on bare ground, a row of small stone figures, and an orange-walled building with a corrugated roof and a potted plant.
