A bald man in white dhoti and shawl with gold-bordered edges walks barefoot across a dirt courtyard carrying a steel plate. He wears a beaded necklace and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind him, a row of people stands in front of an orange-painted building with red-framed windows and a corrugated roof. Among them are women in cream and white saris, one in an orange top, a girl in a red top and green skirt, and boys in red, orange and green shirts. A small table holds more steel plates. The ground shows faint circular lines drawn in the dirt. A tree and a metal pole stand at the right edge.

Outdoor photo at an open ground beside a red-and-white striped wall and green trees. Inside a circle of stones, a small clay lamp or fire burns on the ground, with a folded purple cloth nearby. A man in white dhoti and shirt bends at left, pouring from a green plastic can. Behind him, a woman in white stands with a steel vessel, and a young man in white and a young woman in white watch. Another woman in white stands at the back left. The scene suggests a small ritual fire setup with bare feet on the sandy ground.

Outdoor photo on a dusty dirt ground with trees and a bush behind a wire fence. A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala beads and bangles, walks barefoot and looks ahead; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure in procession. Beside him a man in a white dhoti holds a tray of yellow flowers, and a woman in a blue sari carries a bag. Other devotees in white dhotis, shirts and a red-shirted boy stand around with hands folded, and a stone-coloured jacketed man stands at left. Several people are visible, roughly a dozen.

A photograph of an open dirt yard at dusk with several people moving across it. Shaven-headed men wear white dhoti-style cloths with red borders and bare chests, and one stands at left in orange robes. Boys in red and green t-shirts and casual shorts walk through the group. On the right, people in white and peach clothing stand by a serving table with pink and white plastic buckets and containers. Pink bougainvillea flowers and green trees frame the orange boundary wall behind.

Outdoor photo on a dirt ground beside trees. A woman in an orange saffron sari with long dark hair walks forward smiling, holding a small book. Beside her, a man in white shirt and white dhoti with a mala necklace walks, and a man in white ritual clothing with an orange shawl carries papers. To the right, several women in white saris with orange shawls stand with palms pressed together in namaskar behind a white-draped table bearing a plate of red flowers, open books and a small stack of bricks. Brick piles and stones lie nearby.

Outdoor construction site beside a grey concrete-block wall with a corrugated metal roof edge and a yellow-painted trim. Four young people in orange saffron robes with gold borders stand on reddish-brown earth. A young woman in the foreground holds a silver tray with small steel cups. Another orange-clad person at a folding table spreads an orange cloth and a red fabric. Behind them an older man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a white shirt stands near a woman in a green sari, and a man in a green checked shirt walks past a blue tarpaulin. Stacked grey metal plates lie on the ground in front of the table.

Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered on sandy ground in front of a red apartment building with balconies and banana plants. Many people wear orange and saffron clothing, including a shirtless man in front with a dark wrap and beads, who walks barefoot toward the camera. Nearby, a man in a white dhoti with a gold necklace stands behind the group, and a person in white robes stands in the middle. Several children in orange and red outfits line up at the front. A bright stage light is visible at top right. Roughly thirty people are visible.
