Outdoor garden scene at a grassy lawn with a stone paved path and white floral kolam rangoli on the stones. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a red and white garland, a red bindi on his forehead, walks barefoot on the path. Beside him a woman in a yellow and orange sari with a pink shawl carries a brass plate holding a brass kalasha-style pot decorated with red flowers and greenery. Trees, potted plants and a white wall stand behind; a boy in white and a man in jeans appear at the edges.

A woman in an orange and pink sari carries a brass tray with a red flower on it along a stone path. Walking behind her is a man in a saffron-orange robe with a long hair and a red and white garland around his neck, a candidate for Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues, shown in a visible procession-like walk. Behind them, a group of men and women in white, cream and orange clothes follows along the path, some standing near a small pond.

Outdoor photo of a shaded dirt path through a garden with leafy trees and low shrubs. Several men in saffron-orange robes walk single file: the foreground figure in a red-pink dhoti and shawl wears a garland of marigolds and holds a brass tray; other men in orange wear beaded necklaces, and one bald man in orange with a rudraksha-style garland walks at the front-left. Behind them, people in white and orange clothing move along a path near a red-walled building. No candidate shows distinctive long hair, crown, or ceremonial gold necklace clearly enough to identify anyone, so the people are described by role and clothing only.

Behind him a man in orange robes and a red-clad figure carry items, and a woman in a white saree with gold border carries a tray. On the right a woman in a red saree with gold trim walks with hands folded, and a woman in red at left holds a shawl. Palms and greenery surround the path, with a white building behind.

In front, a man in orange holds a trident (trishul) aloft and wears a rudraksha mala. A woman in an orange sari with a purple flower garland leads the group. Behind her, robed men carry ceremonial items, and the last robed man in front carries a metal kalasha pot with green leaves on a tray. A colourful canopy and flags are visible in the background.

In the centre a man in a red-pink dhoti-style garment, with long dark hair and gold-bead garlands, walks barefoot, flanked by men in saffron-orange robes and garlands. On the right, a man in white dhoti with an orange border carries a silver tray of offerings or puja items, and other white-clad and saffron-clad participants follow behind. The procession appears to be a devotional walk within an ashram setting.

A procession walks along a narrow dirt path lined with white kerbs and marigold bushes, beneath leafy trees and palms. Several men and women in saffron-orange robes lead the way; one carries a golden trident-topped staff, and a woman in orange wears a white and red flower garland. Behind them a man in white kurta carries a brass kalasha with green leaves on top, and a white canopy umbrella is held overhead. A kolam-style white chalk design decorates the path. Other devotees in orange and white follow near a white building.

Outdoor garden path lined with oleander shrubs and tall green trees. A group of people walks along a stone-paved walkway. In front, a figure in a dark red-orange robe with a bare upper body and a shaved-looking head walks at the centre, flanked by a man in a bright pink kurta and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers. On the left, a man in white dhoti and cloth with a yellow border carries an orange bag. Other people follow behind. Lush lawn and a small audio speaker stand on the right. The central figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is described as a devotee in red-orange robes.

Behind them, more devotees in white and saffron, a red building wall in the background, and a kumkum-marked brass plate visible.
