A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and multiple rudraksha mala beads walking down a set of dark stone steps, smiling, with a red bindi on the forehead. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shawls, descend the steps. At right, a man in a white shirt holds a white booklet with a red emblem, standing beside a metal pole and a rolled grey shutter. The wall at left is pale blue.

A photo of a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark wavy hair and a rudraksha mala descending a grey marble staircase at a shop entrance. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls and a man in a white shirt follow down the steps, and a woman in a pink sari and others stand near a storefront draped with marigold and white floral garlands and bunting. A wooden pole rises at right beside a rolled shutter. A probable Swamiji is the figure in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala, shown descending the stairs, whose presentation carries the distinctive saffron clothing and mala cues. Other visible people include a devotee in an orange shawl and a bald older man in a white shirt in the foreground at right.

A probable Swamiji is visible, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, descending the stairs among his attendants.

Photograph of a group walking through a doorway in a plain interior. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and red markings on his chest, smiling and gesturing with his hand, is at centre. Beside him a man in white shirt and dhoti walks in the foreground. Behind them men in white dhotis and shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, follow, and a man at left holds a garland of yellow and pink flowers. A woven mat lies on the floor at bottom, and a printed notice is pinned to the wall at right. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man in the orange robe, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala; he is in person.

Outdoor photo of a group walking up a concrete staircase beside a white wall, with a rock face and tree branches behind them under dappled sunlight. In front, a long-haired man in flowing saffron-orange robes with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck walks with hands clasped at his waist, looking toward a man beside him. Behind and beside them, men in white kurta-style clothes, a man in beige and cream clothing, and a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a mala follow. Arched blue metal frames and a bare tree frame the scene. Several more people are visible in the background.

Outdoor temple walkway under a thatched palm-leaf roof with bamboo scaffolding and palm trees behind. Three men in orange robes walk toward the temple entrance: a bare-chested young man with long dark hair and a shawl, a bearded man with long hair, glasses, a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold-trimmed orange robe, and a younger orange-clad attendant. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts, one holding a garland, and a uniformed guard in a dark cap stand by. A camera crew films in the background. Light stone steps and a small shrine tower with a deity murti stand to the right.

A photograph of saffron-robed sadhus descending a white marble staircase beside a white balustrade, with a crowd of onlookers watching from a railing above. On the left, a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless top and saffron wrap smiles and gestures downward. Beside him, an older bearded man in an orange robe with a green-bordered shawl walks down. Further down, a white-haired, white-bearded elder with a bare upper body and white dhoti is supported on the stairs. On the right, a man in a white shirt and an orange-robed attendant with long hair stand close by. Several men in white shirts and red-clad devotees line the upper railing.
