A group of saffron-robed sadhus walks barefoot along a pale dirt path in an open ashram compound in daylight. In the centre, a long-haired man in orange with a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace leads the line, flanked by bearded sadhus in orange, brown and rust-coloured cloths. Several men in white shirts and trousers with lanyard badges walk alongside, one holding a video camera. Behind them are a concrete block wall, a wooden fence, young trees and a utility pole under a pale sky.

Outdoor photograph of three people walking across a sandy courtyard in front of a long, low, whitewashed traditional building with a terracotta tiled roof, yellow plinth and a gabled central porch. On the left a woman in a white embroidered salwar kameez carries a small white bag. Beside her a figure in a white top and orange-red cloth walks with them. On the right, a person with long dark hair in a saffron-orange robe and orange shawl walks in sandals, smiling and holding a small object in one hand, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace visible. Palm trees, a mango tree and green lawn surround the scene under a pale blue sky.

A photograph in a stone-pillared temple courtyard or corridor with weathered pale walls and a tiled roof. Several men walk across the paved floor in a line. Those in front wear saffron-orange garments, with one bare-chested man in a reddish-brown cloth carrying a long staff. Behind them, men in white shirts and white dhotis follow, and one older man in white walks at the right edge. A woman in a white sari with a dark border stands near the left pillars, and a few people are seated further back. A loudspeaker is mounted on a pillar at right. The scene suggests a visit to a temple. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone.

A procession of saffron-robed sannyasis and attendants walks along a narrow brick lane between tall stone and yellow-washed temple walls, with palm trees behind. In the centre a tall man with long hair and a light blue turban wears an orange garment with a rudraksha-style necklace and carries a staff, leading a group of monks in orange cloths. Nearby a younger man in white dhoti and white shirt walks beside men in casual shirts and trousers. Overall the scene shows a monastic walk through a temple precinct on a sunny day.

A photograph of a dusty clearing with scrubby trees, a palm, rocky outcrop and parked white vehicles. A central figure in orange robes with a long flower garland walks forward, while a man in white dhoti and shawl beside him holds a bright yellow-orange umbrella over him. Other people in white and orange clothing walk alongside, and a small concrete tank sits at the left edge. The procession suggests a ceremonial walk at an outdoor site. A figure with long dark hair and an orange shawl at the front is a sannyasi-style devotee; whether he is the a person is uncertain from appearance alone.

A smiling man with long dark hair and a flowing orange saffron robe walks barefoot across a grassy patch beside a concrete plinth and a small black post in a sandy yard. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl with a beaded necklace stands near a building with a dark lattice door. To the right, an older man with glasses wears white clothing and an orange shawl, and a younger man in white stands near a large black water tank. Scrubby trees and a low fence stand in the background.

A group of people walks along a pale stone-paved path past flowering shrubs with red flags and a construction area with stacked stone slabs and a red boundary wall. In front, a man in a red-brown robe with a rudraksha-style necklace walks beside a man in white clothes and a light-blue shirt. Behind them are two men in saffron-orange robes with beaded necklaces, a woman in a yellow kurta, a man in a white outfit, and a woman in a patterned top and black trousers. A man in white dhoti and shawl walks at the left edge. No a person candidate is confidently identifiable from appearance alone.
