Outdoor photograph of a crowd on a paved cobblestone courtyard in front of a pink and white temple-style building with lattice screens. In the centre, a bald-headed sannyasi in orange robes and an orange turban holds his hands together. To his right, a man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, wearing an orange robe and orange turban, gestures with one hand. Other saffron-clad monks in orange turbans stand behind them. Around them, men in white dhotis and white shirts, a woman in a blue sari, and a young girl in a blue dress stand among the crowd. Some people hold white cloth over their shoulders.

A photograph of an outdoor courtyard entrance with a pink and white decorated facade and a lattice-screened wall behind. Several saffron-robed monastics walk down a set of steps. The central figure in a long orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala is followed by a monk in a saffron robe and orange turban on the left. A younger monk on the right wears an orange robe, an orange turban and a rudraksha mala, and gestures as he speaks. Surrounding them are devotees in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a teal sari, and a girl in a blue outfit. Other saffron-clad monks stand in the background.

Outdoor photo on a grassy courtyard beside white-walled buildings and a tall palm tree. A young man in an orange robe and orange turban, bare-chested under an orange shawl, wears a long white-and-red flower garland and stands facing right. Beside him, a man in an orange robe with a saffron shawl and gold-beaded malas stands with a cameraman in an orange robe photographing the scene. At far right, a bearded man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a tall gold trident-topped staff, and several men in white dhotis stand behind them.

Outdoor photo on a dirt ground beside a tree and a white-gated building entrance. A tall man with long swept-back dark hair and a smile wears an orange saffron robe, a dark rudraksha mala and sandals, standing at the right. Swamiji (probable) is described by these cues: long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, with the figure standing in front of the group. Two saffron-robed sadhus stand to his left, one bare-chested in an orange wrap and one bearded in orange, talking together. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, a man in a blue striped shirt, and a man in a red shawl stand nearby, and a white car is parked to the right.

A photograph of a festive temple courtyard with marigold garlands and a palm-leaf canopy overhead. In the centre, a bald man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala stands with his hands gesturing, facing a devotee in an orange turban and saffron wrap who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Around them, saffron-clad sannyasis and devotees stand in a crowd; a man in a white shirt and a man in cream clothes are at right, and an older bald man in a saffron shawl holding a white booklet stands at right-centre. Behind them, a white building with arched windows and a decorated doorway. Identity of the central robed figure is uncertain from appearance alone.

Outdoor photo of a group standing on a concrete step in front of an orange-painted building with a white door and string lights overhead. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe with gold trim, a large orange-and-white flower garland, gold armbands, and holds a white rod. To his left a bald man in an orange robe covers his mouth with his hand. On the right, a man in a white dhoti and shawl wears a rudraksha mala. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, some with lanyards, stand around them. The central figure appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance cues, with long hair, saffron clothing and ornate garland.

Outdoor photo of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis walking together beside a white building and a tree strung with red and white bunting. The man second from left has long, swept-back dark hair, an orange wrap and a rudraksha mala; he is smiling. Beside him, a bearded man wears an orange shawl over white. Next, a man in an orange turban and orange robes with a rudraksha mala holds a small blue-covered booklet. At right, a man in an orange turban and orange shawl walks with a hand on another orange-robed companion, who also wears an orange turban. Behind them, a multicoloured canopy and white-clad attendees appear. Several figures in orange and a man in a white shirt stand nearby.
