Photograph of saffron-robed sannyasis walking down red-edged stone steps beside a water tank at an ashram complex, with a red multi-storey building and tiered red seating behind. A bearded elder in a long orange robe and white beard is walking in the centre, held by a shaved-headed man in orange on his left, while a younger saffron-robed sannyasi with a tilak and rudraksha mala walks on his right. A figure in a dark red robe stands at right near the water, and other orange-clad attendants follow along the steps. Metal buckets sit along the left edge.2013-11-06November 06 20132013-11-06February 27 20142014-02-27December 30 20092009-12-30July 26 20102010-07-26Outdoor photo at a temple-style complex with a pool.

Behind them women in colourful saris (teal, orange, pink) and girls with garlands stand along the left steps, some with hands folded. A white ceremonial umbrella stands in the background, and a large pink-and-red hall with flags and lights rises beyond a seated crowd in rows. Several white-clad attendants are visible on the right steps near the water.2017-02-24Outdoor photograph of a ceremonial procession descending red sandstone steps beside a pond, with a crowd seated on tiered stands and red-and-white flags on poles.
