Outdoor photo on a sandy dirt road lined with palm trees and thatched huts. A woman in a saffron-orange sari with a yellow-and-orange flower garland stands beside a silver Ford Endeavour SUV with its rear door open, while a man in a white shirt and white dhoti gestures upward. A group of people in white ritual clothes and a young girl in a white school uniform walk along behind them. A banner on the right shows a saffron-robed figure. An orange-robed figure stands at the open car door, and a small kiosk with posters sits in the background. Total visible people is roughly ten.

Outdoor ashram scene in bright daylight with palm trees and a dirt courtyard. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in plain white dhoti with a red border stands with hands folded in prayer, facing the camera. Behind him, a crowd of about two dozen people, many in white and some in saffron and bright clothing, stand in a line with hands joined. On the right, a priest in white with a folded-hands posture stands beside a red-and-cream shrine with orange and yellow garlands and stone deity sculptures. Overhead hangs an orange cloth canopy, and a white SUV and a painted billboard are visible on the left.

Outdoor photo on a grassy clearing beside trees, a tall palm and a hillside. A silver SUV is parked at left. A small group of about seven men stands together: two in saffron/orange robes on the left and right, others in white dhotis and white shirts, and one man in a grey shirt and trousers. The scene looks like a casual conversation near the vehicle.

A photograph of a dusty open ground in front of white buildings with signage reading Sri Anandeshwara Temple, a palm-lined setting. A silver SUV drives slowly on the left while a crowd of men in white dhotis and white shirts walks alongside. In the centre, a bare-chested elderly man with long white hair and a rudraksha mala wears an orange cloth and a white dhoti, standing barefoot among others. Beside him a figure in a flowing orange robe with long dark hair gestures toward the vehicle. A young boy in a yellow shirt and dark trousers stands in the foreground. Banners in the background show Kannada text and a poster of multiple portraits labelled Anandotsava-2010.

A village street scene with thatched-roof huts and a silver SUV parked behind. A person in a bright orange-saffron robe with long dark hair walks forward barefoot, hands raised in greeting. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand with palms pressed together, and an elderly woman in a white sari with a yellow border holds a red-wrapped bundle and flowers. Rangoli kolam designs are drawn on the sandy ground. Several onlookers stand to the right with folded hands. The figure in orange is shown in a house-visit setting; the appearance-based label is a person, identified by the saffron robe, long swept hair and his central place in the greeting, while the page does not confirm his presence.
