Outdoor photograph of a man in a flowing saffron-red dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, with a rudraksha mala and a white forehead tilak, long dark hair tied back, pouring ghee or offerings from a ladle-like vessel into a fire pit (homa/yagna) on a white stone platform scattered with leaves and petals. Coconut palms and a notice board stand behind. Around him, about ten people in white and cream clothes, some wearing yellow lanyards and yellow-and-black beaded necklaces, watch with hands folded. The white-clad onlookers stand nearby.

Outdoor photo of a man seated cross-legged on a low wooden platform in a sandy open space among coconut palms and leafy trees under a pale sky. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, a long rudraksha mala, and a red bindi on his forehead, with long swept-back hair, eyes closed, face lifted in meditation. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a handle and spout sits in front of him, and smoke drifts through the air. Two seated men in white dhotis and yellow shawls sit behind him, one in the left background and one at the right edge, also meditating. A standing figure in white appears at far left.

A barefoot man with long swept-back black hair stands on red and patterned mats with palms pressed together at chest level in namaste. He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap with gold-yellow bands across the chest and waist and a sleeveless upper wrap, a multi-strand rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him in an outdoor setting of trees and bare ground, several women in orange saris play long brass horns and drums, and another woman holds a tall staff, forming a ritual procession. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on his long hair, rudraksha mala, and saffron-toned clothing, and the page notes his presence at this event.

A bare-chested man in a flowing saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a long dark bun, a white tilak on his forehead, and a dark rudraksha mala, stands at a smoking fire pit lined with white stone. He holds a long wooden pole and a golden ladle-like vessel, pouring offerings into the fire as a homa. Around him, people in white clothes with yellow-and-black garlands watch quietly. Tall coconut palms and a dark signboard with Kannada text stand behind, and scattered leaves and petals lie on the stone.

A photograph outdoors near a white wall and green foliage shows a standing man in a saffron-orange wrap draped over his shoulder and body, with white ash marks on his bare arms and chest. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, and has long dark hair tied back. In the foreground a fire pit blazes with flames. Behind him, a man in white kurta and dhoti with an orange shawl carries a tray of firewood. Flowers and a red-and-white wall are visible.

Outdoor photo of a man seated cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, with eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He wears an orange shawl draped over his head and body, a red forehead mark and a long rudraksha mala. Behind him sits a second person in white ritual clothing, also meditating. Beside the seated man is a brass kalasha-style pot. To the right stands a large black stone Nandi bull statue draped with a garland of yellow and red flowers, on a white plinth. Behind them are grey stone deity statues and palm trees under a bright sky.

A small brass vessel sits on the ground at lower left, and a few embers or ash lie on the sandy ground.
