Outdoor scene on a stone terrace beneath a large tree with a brick archway behind it. A figure in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and a forehead tilak sits cross-legged-style on a low stone platform covered with a striped cloth and a leopard-print mat, touching his face with one hand. Around him, several men in orange and saffron robes stand, one holding a gold-colored vessel, and gold necklaces are visible. On the left, a figure in white dhoti and shawl with red border stands with palms together. On the right, a man in a red kurta and white dhoti with a red shawl stands holding a phone, and another man in orange is partially visible. Five to six people are visible in the frame.

A central figure with long dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala sits on a leopard-print cushioned stone platform, wearing an orange robe with a gold-trimmed edge and several ceremonial necklaces. Around him, men in white dhotis with yellow or gold borders and orange sannyasi robes stand or sit, some holding a brass vessel and a small brass kalasha.

A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and shawl and a red rudraksha mala, sits cross-legged on a raised stone platform draped with a leopard-print cloth. A kneeling man in a red shirt and white dhoti bows toward him with folded hands. Around them stand several men in saffron and white dhotis, some with bare shoulders and gold-coloured necklaces, several holding their hands together in greeting. Younger onlookers in yellow and white tank tops stand at the right with arms crossed. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits on the platform. The seated man shows distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm a specific identity.2011-05-24December 26 20102010-12-26December 30 20072007-12-30December 26 20102010-12-26Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with aerial roots. In the centre, a person with long dark hair wears an orange cloth and a leopard-print shawl, and holds a garland of white flowers and a bunch of red and yellow flowers. Around them, several men in white dhotis with red borders stand barefoot; one has a shaved head with white markings and gold-toned beaded necklaces, and another wears a gold pendant necklace and holds a small object. A man in orange robes with a shaved head and glasses stands nearby, and a man in an orange shawl on the right holds his hands together in greeting. The group appears to be gathered for a ritual setting in an ashram garden.2010-10-05January 13 20152015-01-13January 15 20112011-01-15December 30 20082008-12-30A photograph of people gathered outdoors on a stone pavement beside a brick wall and wooden benches. A white-haired elderly man with long beads and a saffron shawl sits on the left with white ash marks on his forehead. Beside him, a smiling man in a deep red turban and a gold-clasped rudraksha mala sits in a red and gold robe; the appearance-based candidate for a person is unsure. Standing to the right, a bearded man in a saffron shawl and white dhoti holds a notebook, and women in red and gold saris wear garlands and forehead marks. A shaved-head man in a red robe stands behind.
