A photograph of a procession on a yellow-walled temple veranda with painted red, green and blue borders and an ornate pillar at right. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a long gold-yellow shawl stands at centre, holding a long golden staff. Beside him, a man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks with long hair; he is a probable Swamiji by appearance and presentation, with saffron clothing and rudraksha cues. Behind them, a man in white holds an orange umbrella and another wears an orange shawl. At right, a man in red-and-tan cloth holds a small object, and a man in a striped shirt and white dhoti stands barefoot. Several other men in white shirts stand along the edges.

Outdoor photograph of a group walking across a grassy lawn at a temple-style park with colourful pillared pavilions and a statue in the background. A central man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and walks with a wooden cane. Around him are men in white dhotis with saffron-orange shawls and rudraksha malas, one carrying a red woven basket, a man in a grey shirt and dark trousers, and a man in a red and white checked wrap. Sandy mounds and green shrubbery surround the path. The central man shows distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a mala, consistent with a person presence, though his face is not clearly visible.

A photograph of a group walking across a grassy lawn in front of a temple complex with colourful pillars and painted deity statues. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a saffron orange dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala, and carries a wooden walking staff; he appears to be a person candidate by his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. Around him, men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk with him, one holding a red umbrella and another with a red basket. On the right, a bearded man wears a red checked shawl over a light garment. A white golf-style cart and motorbikes are visible in the background.

A photograph inside a colourful, newly built pavilion with painted columns and a painted ceiling, with scaffolding visible at left. A tall man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, and a saffron shawl, and walks with a wooden staff. Beside him a man in a red-and-gold checked shawl and orange dhoti walks in step. Behind them follow men in white dhotis and white shirts, one shirtless man in a white dhoti with a dark bag, and a man in a blue-striped shirt and white dhoti at right. Marble floors reflect the light, and an open doorway shows a pavilion and cars outside. Whether the saffron-robed man is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard with a paved hexagonal-tiled path and a red-and-white painted step edge at left. At front left, a long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala walks barefoot; the appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha beads) are distinctive, and the page does not name him here, so the identity is uncertain. Beside him, a bald man in white with an orange shawl and a barefoot man in white with an orange shawl walk along. Behind them a line of men in white dhotis and kurtas, many with hands folded in anjali, stand in greeting; an older man in a lavender dhoti and shirt and a younger man in white with a rudraksha mala stand among them. Small stone deity murtis and a garland-draped doorway are visible in the background of the ashram buildings.

A photo inside an ornate, pillared pavilion with yellow columns, painted coloured ceiling bands and a polished marble floor, open to green lawns outside. Several men walk in a line through the hall. The central figure in an orange-saffron robe and an orange shawl, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, walks with a wooden staff. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and white shirt carries a red-and-white bag, and a man in a golden-brown dhoti with a red checked shawl walks at the front right. Another man in a striped shirt and white dhoti stands at the right edge. Two-tone dhotis and orange shawls mark the group as devotees or sannyasis.
