A photo taken in a red-walled temple courtyard with yellow walls and pillars under bright sunlight. In the centre, a man wearing a maroon turban and a maroon-and-gold-striped dhoti with a garland of marigolds stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded. To the right, a bearded elder in orange robes stands near a red barred gate, and another bearded man in orange sits at the gate with hands together. On the left, a man in white shirt holds a camera, and an elder in orange with white beard is seen in the foreground. Several other people in orange robes are visible in the background.

A photograph of a shrine doorway in an ornate stone temple interior. In the foreground, an elderly man with white hair and round glasses stands in the doorway wearing saffron-orange robes and a flower garland, with a dark bead garland on his head, hands joined at his waist. Facing the shrine from the right, a bald man with his back turned wears orange robes with yellow borders and a dark bead band on his arm. Inside, a white arched niche holds a small golden shrine with a deity murti, white flower garlands, brass lamps and an oil lamp, with a row of brass pots and offerings on the floor below.

Photograph inside a red-painted shrine with red iron grille gates, where a red-cloth-turbaned figure seen from behind with a white flower garland and a marigold-orange and gold-bordered shawl stands facing a small inner shrine draped with red and white flower garlands. To the left a bald man in saffron robes and glasses stands beside an older white-bearded man in orange, while on the right a bearded sadhu with long hair, orange shawl and rudraksha beads stands at the grille. The scene shows a devotee visit to a temple in Varanasi, with visible shrine ornaments and garlands.

Two men stand in a red-painted shrine doorway with iron grille railings, in front of a small deity murti draped with red and orange flower garlands. The man on the left wears a maroon turban with a tilak mark, a white and orange flower garland, a brown rudraksha-style bead necklace, and a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti, with his hands folded at his waist and a smile. The man on the right has a white beard, a tilak on his forehead, an orange robe and an orange shawl. The left figure has distinctive turban, malas and saffron-toned clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, standing beside an elderly sadhu in orange.

A crowded doorway scene in a sanctum-style entrance behind folding metal gates. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a deep maroon-brown robe and a fresh red-pink flower garland, walking forward as devotees press close. Around him, saffron-clad sannyasis with shaved heads wear orange and ochre shawls and sashes; one smiles broadly at right. A woman in an orange sari with an orange shawl stands at left with hands folded in greeting, and several people reach toward the group with hands and a phone camera. A small framed image and a round mirror-like frame hang on the wall beyond. The figure at centre shows distinctive long hair and a garland, with the maroon robe rather than saffron.

Several saffron-robed sannyasis stand before a small red-painted shrine inside a temple, its doorway framed by red garlands and a shrine hung with flower strands. A figure in the foreground wears a dark red turban and a white-and-orange flower garland, with his palms pressed together in namaskar and a yellow-bordered red cloth wrapped around him. Beside him, a bald man in white-bordered saffron wears a red-and-gold wrap and holds a staff, while an older bearded man in orange robes and a saffron shawl raises his hands in greeting. A bearded sadhu in orange robes and rudraksha beads gestures toward the shrine. Several other onlookers in casual clothes stand in the background.

Two men in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stand before a shrine niche with an arched white frame and warm orange lights. The man on the left is bare-chested with a white flower garland and gold headband, hands folded in prayer. The man on the right wears a white flower garland, a gold headband, gold armlets and a saffron shawl, looking down. Inside the shrine stand a golden peetha-style throne, small deity murti, pink flowers, and a silver kalasha-like vessel. The scene suggests puja.

Photo inside a small temple shrine room with pale green walls, a tube light, and wooden framed doors with brass bells. A group of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees stands close together. A tall man in an orange-saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala and a shaved head stands near the center, flanked by an orange-turbaned sannyasi. To the right, a bare-chested priest in white dhoti stands before a shrine heavily decorated with yellow and white flower garlands, and a bearded sannyasi in orange holds a folded hand near him. A calendar and notices hang on the left wall.
