A procession walks along a dirt path shaded by a mango tree. In the centre, a man in orange ochre robes wears a long multicolour flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a red forehead mark, and walks barefoot. Beside him, a bald man in orange garments and rudraksha beads walks, and a bald man in white dhoti with a white upper cloth carries a brass kalasha-like vessel on a tray. Behind them, several monks in orange and white robes follow, some with rudraksha malas. An older man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks at the right edge. Brick rubble and green foliage surround the path, with a fence and bushes behind.

Outdoor covered workshop with orange-painted walls and a corrugated roof. A man in saffron dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala talks while gesturing, standing beside two women in orange saris with gold-bordered yellow trim, one wearing a rudraksha mala.

Night-time photograph of a crowd of men and women in white dhotis and saris with orange shawls, standing and sitting around a construction site lit by a tube light. In the foreground a young man in white kneels with hands pressed together in prayer beside a white cloth-draped object and an orange cloth on a stone ledge. A small golden kalasha-shaped vessel stands on a golden base with orange cloth. A wooden pole rises between the people. Several devotees wear orange shawls and rudraksha-free white attire, and a man at right holds a camera.

A photograph inside a temple-style hall with gold-toned carved pillars. A person in an orange-red turban, orange-and-gold saffron garment, layered red, pink and purple flower garlands, a gold armlet and bangles sits on a red cushion, smiling and extending a hand. Before them a man in a cream shirt kneels with his hands cupped around a red fruit. A woman in a white top and a brown shawl with a dark bead necklace stands behind, and other devotees in maroon and saffron clothing are visible in the background. A gold ceremonial vessel sits near the seated figure. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone; the figure is presented as a devotee-facing sannyasi giving blessing.

Outdoor construction work on a sandy, excavated site under a clear blue sky with coconut palms behind. In the foreground a man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron shawl swings a pickaxe overhead. Beside him a man in white kurta-style clothing digs with a shovel into the reddish-brown soil. Further right, several men in orange robes stoop and dig, one holding a tool, and a man in a white shirt stands at the edge. A pile of excavated earth lies in the middle ground, with a yellow vehicle and a woman in a red shawl at the left edge. Roughly seven to eight people are visible, including partial figures at the edges.

Outdoor photo beneath a large spreading tree at an ashram. A man in a flowing orange-red robe with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala stands at centre, smiling and gesturing toward a man in a white kurta holding a silver tray of flower petals. Around them, several men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand or kneel; one kneeling man bows and touches a dark polished stone platform scattered with petals. A man in orange holds a tall gold-topped staff at left, and a camera operator stands in the background. Concrete planters and a grey pole are visible at right.

Night photo at an outdoor shrine beneath large dark trees. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, long hair swept back, stands centre with palms joined near his chest, facing a cobra-hooded stone or metal deity form adorned with a red-and-gold cloth and garland at right. Around him, about a dozen men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand in a row, several with hands folded in prayer. A brass oil lamp with a visible flame sits on the ground at lower left, and a white cloth covers a tray on a stand near the shrine. A short white-clad man at left holds the scene's edge. a person appearance is uncertain, so the central figure is identified only by role as a devotee leading the consecration rite.
