Outdoor photo on a concrete path beside a red iron gate and a bare tree, with a water tank on a stand in the background. Five people walk in procession: two men in saffron/orange robes lead on the left and right, an elderly person in white draped clothing walks in the centre, and a bearded man in white with a yellow shawl carries a tray or plate. The orange-robed figure on the right has long hair and wears a rudraksha mala, and presents a distinctive appearance, so he is a probable candidate for a person in the sannyasi role, though the identification is uncertain. Small marigold-like flowers lie on the ground and a metal stand sits near the tree.

Outdoor photograph of three people walking barefoot along a concrete path beside a red and gold ornate railing of a temple or shrine structure. The central figure wears a long orange robe and a white and red flower garland, with long dark hair, and the two figures flanking are in orange robes with shaved heads. Green hedges line the right side, with trees, a water tank on a metal stand, and a low wall in the background. Some brass vessels sit near the railing at left.

Photograph of a group of saffron-robed monastics walking along a concrete courtyard path beside a whitewashed building with red-and-white striped plinth, a metal water tank and a bell on a frame, and clothes drying on a line. In front, a barefoot man in an orange shawl and orange dhoti walks with a bare chest; behind him a man in orange robes with a scarf walks, followed by other orange-clad figures and a person in white. Green shrubs and trees fill the background, and a potted plant stands at the left. Several people walk in procession. Whether the bare-chested figure in front is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so no identity is asserted.

Outdoor photo of a walkway beside a red-painted ashram building with a red iron gate decorated with gold scroll motifs and orange-red curtains. A man in an orange-red saffron dhoti and wrap, with long dark hair and a red and gold bead mala, walks barefoot with palms pressed together in anjali. Behind him follow several shaved-headed men in white dhotis and white shawls with red borders, some carrying small items, in a procession-like line. A grey water tank on a metal stand, a bell hanging from it, and a brick boundary wall stand in the background under a clear sky with trees.

Four men walk barefoot along a concrete path beside a red-orange boundary wall and a black iron gate with gold finials. The foremost man wears a pink dhoti and a shawl with a white garland; the others wear orange-saffron robes and beaded rudraksha-style necklaces, and the rearmost carries a round brass tray. Behind the gate, a white-clad figure stands near a shrine area. A water tank on a metal stand and a tree are visible in the background, with a lamp post along the path.

Three saffron-robed sannyasis walk along a paved path lined with a low green hedge and a red-and-white painted edge, beside a white-walled building with a corrugated roof and a black water tank on a metal stand. The central figure holds a small book or card in one hand, and a man in dark trousers and a dark shirt walks behind them. Trees and a wooden fence stand in the background under a pale evening sky. The figure on the left wears an orange head wrap and a rudraksha mala, the centre figure wears an orange head covering and a rudraksha mala, and the figure on the right wears an orange shawl with no visible head covering. A red-and-white painted step and pot plant appear at the left edge.
