Outdoor photo of a crowd walking along a dusty dirt path beside a red brick building with a small sign above its open doorway and shipping containers on both sides. Many men wear white kurta or shirt and white dhoti; a woman in a dark red top carries an orange bag, and a man in a red polo shirt walks at right. A figure in an orange-and-red robe walks in the left foreground near a white-clad man, and another orange-robed figure appears at right. Dry grass lies at the lower right.

A group of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a dusty dirt path beside rusted shipping containers under a clear sky, with scrub brush, rocks and a few trees behind them. In the foreground a younger man with long braided hair and a rudraksha-style necklace wears a deep red-brown robe with a yellow-orange border and walks barefoot in sandals. Two men in white dhotis and shirts walk nearby, and a monk in orange robes and a head wrap stands at the right edge. Several other saffron-robed monks follow behind.

A procession on a dusty courtyard beside a salmon-pink multi-storey building. A bearded man in a rust-red robe with a long flower garland and rudraksha mala walks barefoot under a multicoloured fringed parasol held by a helper. Around him, men in white dhotis with bare chests and orange-clad attendants carry a conch and a staff, and rows of women in orange and saffron saris stand at the right with palms joined, forming a reception line. A white-shirted older man watches from the stairs at left.

A photograph of a group walking along a concrete path in front of an orange-washed single-storey building with white-framed windows, set among palm trees and shrubs. In the centre, a man in a long orange robe walks toward the camera, his hair worn long and loose. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shawls, and a woman in a white sari with a green border walk along the path. On the left, a worker in white stands beside a stack of cut timber, and in the foreground there is a heap of grey gravel. A man in a lavender robe and another in orange stand near the building entrance.

Outdoor photo of a Shivasthamba Yoga (mallakhamba) practice session on a paved courtyard. Many participants in saffron-orange and red robes and sarees, plus others in black, white, blue and pink clothing, stand or move in groups. Several tall upright wooden poles stand on the paved ground, with blue padded mats laid beside them. A red-brick building with stone steps and a small crowd watching behind it forms the backdrop, along with a stage speaker and equipment box on the right. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible, so the photo shows participants and volunteers rather than a specific leader.

Outdoor scene on a dusty open ground at a temple campus. In the foreground, a lattice framework of rough wooden poles and crossbeams is lashed together with rope. Several people stand around it: a man in a black t-shirt and dark trousers on the left, a person in a brown wrap and black top, and two men in saffron-orange robes near the centre, one holding a wooden pole. A man in a white shirt and light trousers stands nearby. Behind them, a long red-walled building with a sloped roof and stacked timber and stones lie on the ground. Trees and a cloudy sky fill the background.

Outdoor bhumi puja at a groundbreaking site beside a pink multi-storey building. A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe with a floral garland, holding a small pot, stands at the centre behind a row of red bricks laid on bare earth. Around him, priests in white dhotis and orange cloth perform rituals; one bare-chested priest pours from a vessel, and another holds a palm-leaf-style book. A multicoloured parasol shades the scene, and rangoli kolam designs in red, yellow and green decorate the ground. Potted vessels and offerings sit near the pit. Several devotees stand along the path in the background.
