A photograph of three men walking barefoot along a raised concrete path beside a whitewashed compound wall in a village setting, with a small blue-and-white temple shrine tower behind. The central man wears a dark red-maroon dhoti with a gold border, a rudraksha mala around his neck and a multicolour flower garland of pink, yellow and green blossoms. The man on the right wears a maroon dhoti with gold border and an orange-and-gold necklace. The man on the left wears a saffron-orange robe and holds his hands together. Several other people in white shirts and dhotis follow in the background.

Night photograph at a temple precinct with a colourful gopuram-style shrine in the background, decorated with painted figures and bull statues. Three men walk across a stone pavement. The central man has long dark hair, a full beard and a maroon-brown dhoti and wrap, with a thick rope-like cord over his shoulder. The man on the right wears orange-saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala, and holds a white coconut or sacred fruit. The man on the left, bald and wearing a rust-brown dhoti with a flower garland and a yellow marigold-type offering, carries a bag. A woman in a green sari stands behind them, and a few other figures and parked motorcycles are visible on the left. The a person presence is only an appearance-based candidate: the central figure with long hair, beard and maroon wrap may be the a person, so the entry is marked as probable in person.

A photograph of a temple doorway with worn stone walls and a blue-painted wooden door frame. A bare-headed older man on the right wears a turquoise-and-gold silk shawl over orange-red robes, a white jasmine garland with red flowers, a dark rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial pendant; he has a shaved head with a gold-banded headpiece and tilak marks. Beside him, a younger man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded at his chest, and a few more people in orange and white clothing move through the dim interior behind them. Appearance cues for the older man are not distinctive enough to confirm the page's claim, so his identity is unsure.

Photograph of four men in orange-saffron robes standing in a temple doorway. Two men in front, both wearing white and red flower garlands and saffron dhotis with gold borders, stand side by side. The man on the right has long hair with a crown, a red tilak, gold ornate necklaces and raises his hands in greeting with a smile. The older man on the left has a white forehead mark, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. Behind them a bald man in orange garments stands in the doorway, and another figure is partly visible on the far right. Dark stone walls and a lamp fixture frame the scene.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead walks outside a carved grey stone temple gopuram with a metal gate and motorcycles behind him. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a strand of large gold-coloured beads around his neck, and he is smiling. Two men in orange cloth stand beside him, one at left holding folded orange towels and one at right holding open a silver car door. A man in white stands behind them. Several people are partly visible at the edges of the frame.

A photograph inside a temple courtyard shows a bearded man with folded hands at the centre, wearing a brown robe and a large multicoloured flower garland of yellow, white and red blooms. He walks among orange-robed sannyasis wearing rudraksha malas, one with a topknot and one with glasses, and white-clad devotees in dhotis and shirts. Two men at left wear plain shirts and a man with a pink shirt and white dhoti stands nearby. Behind them stand a tiered gopuram-style temple tower, a brass kalasha-like vessel on the floor, and painted deity statues on the pillars. Bright daylight and palm trees fill the background.
