A photo taken in a red-walled temple courtyard with yellow walls and pillars under bright sunlight. In the centre, a man wearing a maroon turban and a maroon-and-gold-striped dhoti with a garland of marigolds stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded. To the right, a bearded elder in orange robes stands near a red barred gate, and another bearded man in orange sits at the gate with hands together. On the left, a man in white shirt holds a camera, and an elder in orange with white beard is seen in the foreground. Several other people in orange robes are visible in the background.

Photograph inside a red-painted shrine with red iron grille gates, where a red-cloth-turbaned figure seen from behind with a white flower garland and a marigold-orange and gold-bordered shawl stands facing a small inner shrine draped with red and white flower garlands. To the left a bald man in saffron robes and glasses stands beside an older white-bearded man in orange, while on the right a bearded sadhu with long hair, orange shawl and rudraksha beads stands at the grille. The scene shows a devotee visit to a temple in Varanasi, with visible shrine ornaments and garlands.

Three men stand together on a dirt floor in front of a pale plastered wall, with sacks and a wooden board behind them. The man on the left wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his head and shoulders, with a full black beard and a golden pendant, and holds a long bamboo staff with a red cloth. The man in the centre wears a dark red dhoti with an orange-gold border, a long rudraksha mala, a white forehead marking and earrings, and gestures with both hands toward a clay pot. The man on the right, shaved-headed and bare-chested, wears a red and gold-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala, holding a clay pot.

Photo taken inside an open-sided stone workshop with a corrugated roof and blue-framed doorway, with heaps of cut stone blocks and rubble on the floor. In the foreground a man in a saffron-orange shawl and orange turban, wearing loose orange-red robes, walks through the doorway with head bowed. Behind him a younger man in a white vest stands near a pillar, and on the right an older bearded man with long hair, a white kurta and dhoti, an orange shawl, a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch stands with hands folded. A powder-blue wall with partial carved figures is at left.

A photograph taken under an open-sided tin-roofed pavilion with red and orange pennant bunting strung along the beams. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand side by side on bare concrete: the man on the left is bald with a shawl draped over his head and holding his hands together, while the man on the right has long dark hair swept back, a white tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and an orange cloth wrap, smiling as he looks toward the other man. Behind them a younger man in orange holds a silver plate, a further robed figure stands in white, and a few other people are partly visible. Concrete blocks, palm trees and a folded red cloth lie in the background.

Two men stand in a red-painted shrine doorway with iron grille railings, in front of a small deity murti draped with red and orange flower garlands. The man on the left wears a maroon turban with a tilak mark, a white and orange flower garland, a brown rudraksha-style bead necklace, and a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti, with his hands folded at his waist and a smile. The man on the right has a white beard, a tilak on his forehead, an orange robe and an orange shawl. The left figure has distinctive turban, malas and saffron-toned clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, standing beside an elderly sadhu in orange.
