Photograph taken through a car windshield, with the dark dashboard visible along the bottom edge. A dirt track runs between tall coconut palms and leafy trees toward a white building in the background. On the left, an oval framed portrait of a smiling woman is mounted beside a small round sign on a post, and a person stands near the white building in the distance. No a person candidate is visible in the scene.

A photograph of a dirt track lined with tall coconut palms, with a rocky hillside behind. A group walks along the freshly graded road. In front, a figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long white-and-orange garland and a saffron head covering. Beside them a man in white shirt and white dhoti walks, and further back others in white and orange clothing follow. A parked white vehicle sits at the right edge. The road has white painted edge lines.

A photograph of a group walking along a freshly graded red-earth path lined with white painted markings, through a coconut palm grove with a rocky hill behind. In the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes with a white garland walks beside another in orange robes; the taller figure in orange and dark sash has long dark hair and a white floral garland, and is. Around them, men in white shirts and trousers and women in white or yellow saris follow along the path. A few more figures in white stand further back, and a white vehicle is parked at the right edge beside a fence.

A group of people walks along a sandy dirt path lined with low green hedges, young trees and flowering shrubs, beside a tall orange-red brick wall under a hazy sky with palm trees. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and white trousers walks at the left edge. Further along, a figure in a white robe and a few others in white and light clothing walk together, one woman wears a green top with a dark bag. The scene reads as an ashram grounds walk.

A photograph of a temple walkway in India with a thatched palm-leaf roof on the left. A man in orange saffron robes with a long white-and-orange garland walks barefoot toward the temple, with a sannyasi's long hair swept back. Around him, a man in a white shirt and dhoti and several men in white dhotis, some bare-chested, walk along the path. Behind them the blue temple wall has ornate carvings, painted deity panels and a golden gopuram-style tower. Palm trees and a crowd of onlookers stand in the background. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing; appearance-based identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a dirt road lined by tall shade trees, with parked white cars along the right side. Several men walk along the road in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and white trousers walks toward the camera, another in a checked shirt and white-and-pink dhoti walks beside him, and a man in a pink shirt and grey trousers strolls further right. At the far right a man in a white shirt and grey trousers stands beside a parked bicycle. Green fields and a few distant figures are visible on the left.

A photograph of a dusty unpaved road lined with tall coconut palms and red-brick edging, bright blue sky overhead. A few small groups of people walk along the road and gather near a roadside stall with hanging cloth and a parked vehicle; one man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks in the centre. Scrubby dry vegetation and a corrugated-roof structure appear on the left. The scene reads as an ashram access road.

A procession walks along a paved path through a lush garden with palm trees, frangipani and green lawns, toward a stone temple tower in the background. A large ornate umbrella with a colourful fringed canopy, red, blue and yellow, is carried above the group. Several people carry silver tridents and staffs. In front, a man in white kurta with a white garland and a red face covering walks beside a man in white with a rudraksha mala. Behind them, two men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls and bare chests with beaded necklaces walk, followed by women in red-orange saris and devotees in white. Devotees follow in a procession.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with young trees and low shrubs, with palms and a terracotta wall behind. A decorated ratha or chariot with a golden canopy, garlands and flower strings is pulled forward through the crowd. Many devotees in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside, several playing dhol and drums, others carrying red and orange flags. A figure in saffron-orange robes walks near the chariot, and a man in white on the right holds a camera. A smiling woman in white in the foreground holds a red cloth. The scene suggests a festival procession.
