A photograph of an outdoor ashram setting under a covered walkway hung with colourful cylindrical banners, flags and a garland-like ornament. A figure with long dark swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a saffron-orange garment walks barefoot across a green mat at a doorway, one hand raised. Beside and slightly behind, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with red border walks along the steps. Stone sculptures line the courtyard in the background, and a palm-lined ground and white building are visible. Swamiji (probable) appears in the saffron robe with long hair and rudraksha mala, walking as part of a procession or pada puja event.

A tall man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a long rudraksha mala stands barefoot on a patterned floor, hands clasped, stepping through a doorway. Beside and behind him, a bald man in saffron robes walks with hands folded, and a man in white dhoti and shirt stands nearby. Along the left, a crowd of mostly women in white and pale blue saris and white clothes stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them stands a red-draped seat with a red cushion beneath a yellow-fringed canopy, with orange-painted structures and a small table to the right.

A saffron-orange festoon of triangular flags hangs across a canopy, with colourful hanging tassels on poles and palm trees behind. In the courtyard, a few people in white and light clothing stand near a low pillared shrine and a row of grey stone statues. Two figures walk toward the viewer through the doorway: one in a full orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha-style mala and a sash, and a bald man in white ceremonial dress with a shawl and beads. The red and green floor mats lead the eye inward. Visible people are not clearly identifiable.2011-02-01January 14 20102010-01-14June 18 20102010-06-18A photograph taken through an open doorway of a covered outdoor pavilion at a temple-style courtyard.

Beside him, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with a red border walks with him.

A man in an orange saffron robe and a long beaded necklace stands on a green mat just inside the threshold, looking toward the courtyard. Another man in white dhoti walks across the sandy ground in the background, and a person in white clothing bends over a white stone platform with a square opening in the center. Several stone sculptures and a tall copper-coloured pillar with orange hangings stand among palm trees. A red and white bell hangs at the top of the doorway. The orange-robed figure shows cues of a sannyasi, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2010-01-05October 20 20102010-10-20
