Outdoor photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment and orange sleeveless undershirt, with a thick ceremonial necklace of gold beads hanging on his chest, tying or tugging an orange cord that rises up toward a young leafy tree. He gazes upward with one arm raised. Beside him, an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a beaded necklace and a gold bracelet. Behind them are green trees, bushes, a potted plant and a string of small lights on a line. The first man appears to be a person candidate based on his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold bead necklace, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Two physical people are visible.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair stands outdoors beneath green leafy trees, eyes lowered and smiling faintly. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulder and a heavy gold necklace of beaded ornaments with a gold pendant. A red bindi and white vibhuti marks show on his forehead. Behind him, other men in saffron and white clothing stand in a crowd, one with a red mark on his forehead.

Outdoor flagpole hoisting ceremony at an ashram under green trees. A central man in an orange turban and orange robes, wearing a white and magenta flower garland, pulls a rope to raise an orange flag up a white pole. A multicolored fringed umbrella is held above him. Two men in orange robes stand to the left and right, and a crowd of devotees in white dhotis and white clothing stands behind, several with hands folded. Petals and flower offerings lie on a ring of bricks at the pole's base. The central figure's identity is not established by visible cues here, so no identification is made.

A man in an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl wrapped over one shoulder holds a rope with one hand while gripping a bundled orange, white and blue flag against his forehead with the other. A dark beaded rudraksha mala hangs at his chest, and palm fronds and bright sky are behind him. The flag appears to be being raised on a rope, as at a flag hoisting. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders.

Outdoor photo on bare reddish-brown earth with white chalk kolam designs. A young man with long dark hair, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe and a gold necklace of ornate beads, stands barefoot and raises two orange ropes overhead toward a tall flagpole on the right, apparently hoisting or adjusting it. An older man in a white dhoti with a gold-coloured shawl and a bead necklace helps hold the ropes beside him. At left, a figure in orange robes stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A large green peepal-type tree and other shrubs fill the background under an overcast sky.

Close photo of a man with long, swept-back dark hair, eyes lowered, wearing an orange-saffron shawl with gold border and layered ceremonial gold bead necklaces with rudraksha malas. A red tilak is visible on his forehead. Behind him, a second man in orange garments with a red mark on his forehead looks on, and orange flags hang in the background. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron clothing and gold-and-rudraksha necklaces, seen in person at a ceremonial gathering.

Outdoor photograph beneath tall palm trees. A man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a draped saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered edge stands on a raised stone platform, holding a long orange cord that hangs down. A bald man in orange robes sits at the lower right, and another man in orange clothing sits nearby to the right, both connected to the work with the cord. Marigold-like yellow flowers rest on the stone base at the bottom, beside a carved stone foot.
