Outdoor photo on a dirt path beside a blank white signboard frame and palm trees. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange saffron robe, a multi-strand ceremonial garland of white and gold beads, and a long garland of yellow and pink flowers, and walks barefoot. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts with rudraksha malas walk and fold hands in greeting. A woman in orange sari stands behind on the right, and a parked silver SUV appears in the background. The centre figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron robe and garlands, consistent with a person candidate, though the appearance is not certain.

Outdoor photograph on a grassy clearing at an ashram setting with mango trees, a tall palm and a hillside behind. A silver SUV is parked at left. A group of about seven men stands in conversation: two men in saffron-orange robes, one at left and one at centre right, and several men in white dhotis and white shirts or light trousers. The man at centre-right in a white shirt stands with hands at his sides among them. The scene is informal, with people standing close together on the lawn.

Around him stand about a dozen men in white dhotis and white or cream shirts, some with folded hands and one holding a small brass pot at left.

A photograph of an outdoor site at Arunachala Sarvajnapeetam land, with a red dirt track running toward a silver SUV whose driver-side door is open. Beside the vehicle, several people stand in a loose group: some in white dhotis and shirts, and some in saffron/orange robes. A person seated on a white plastic chair in orange robes sits at the right edge of the track, while a figure in orange robes stands near them. Bamboo scaffolding, piles of sand and stacked bundles of sticks surround the open land, with trees and a small structure with a dome-like top in the background under an overcast sky.
