Outdoor photo of a group walking along a dirt path past a wire-mesh fence, stacked stone and red earth, with green trees behind. A man in the centre wears an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and a bindi, smiling and walking in sandals; beside him an orange-robed man with a shaved head carries a dark bag and holds a phone. Behind them, many men in white dhotis and shawls with red borders walk barefoot or in sandals, several shaved-headed and wearing beaded necklaces. At right a man in dark clothes stands near a small roadside shelter with a blue barrel.

At left, a man in white dhoti and shirt films with a handheld video camera on a stand. Several monastic men in saffron and orange robes walk together; one in the centre wears a beige sleeveless vest over orange garments, and another at right wears a bright orange turban and orange cloth with a long beard. A bald man in orange kurta and dhoti walks second from left, and a younger man in white with a beaded necklace and a yellow shawl appears among them. Bare dirt, stacked bricks and trees surround the area.

A photograph of a walking procession on a hexagonal tiled path outdoors, with palm trees and low white buildings with red doors behind. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a flowing saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks barefoot ahead of a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with an orange-red sash, who holds a walking stick. Several men in white dhotis with yellow shawls follow, along with men in shirts and trousers, one holding a folder. A small boy in a checked shirt stands at the right beside a flowerbed of plantains, and a boy in white stands at the left edge. The people walking near the front show distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, so this is a probable appearance-based match for a person, though the exact identity is uncertain from the image alone.

A photograph of a walk along a dirt path between orange-painted brick walls. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, walking barefoot with sandals on the ground. Behind and beside him, several shaven-headed men in white dhotis with red borders walk in a loose group, some carrying bottles or papers. Another orange-robed monk follows to the right. A green corrugated-roof shelter, palm trees and a small shrine-like structure with a deity murti stand in the background.

A group of men walks along a pale dirt path in front of a thatched-roof white building, with palm trees and shrubs around. Beside and behind him, several men wear white dhotis and white shirts with orange-saffron shawls draped over the shoulders, one with a shaved head. A man on the right wears an orange-red top with an orange shawl and holds a small object. A videographer with a camera stands at the left edge. The scene suggests an arrival or return procession at an ashram.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard with a paved hexagonal-tiled path and a red-and-white painted step edge at left. At front left, a long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala walks barefoot; the appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha beads) are distinctive, and the page does not name him here, so the identity is uncertain. Beside him, a bald man in white with an orange shawl and a barefoot man in white with an orange shawl walk along. Behind them a line of men in white dhotis and kurtas, many with hands folded in anjali, stand in greeting; an older man in a lavender dhoti and shirt and a younger man in white with a rudraksha mala stand among them. Small stone deity murtis and a garland-draped doorway are visible in the background of the ashram buildings.

Outdoor photograph of a group walking along a dirt track lined with excavated red earth, piles of grey stone, and green shrubs, with palm trees and a concrete wall in the background. A man in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala walks at the centre with his hands clasped, watched by a larger group of about a dozen men in white dhotis and shawls, several with shaved heads, some holding folded papers or a white bag. On the right, a man in orange robes with a long hair and a rudraksha mala stands beside the path, hands folded. The setting appears to be a rural site under overcast skies.
