Outdoor photograph on a grassy ashram ground beside a white temple building with arched windows and trees. A bare-chested figure with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands center-left, gesturing with open hands while speaking to a woman in a olive-green cardigan and light blue salwar. Around them stand men in white shirts and trousers and a man in a dark striped shirt, watching. In the foreground are freshly dug earth, a pit, and a white sack. The scene looks like an ashram work or cremation-preparation moment; the bare-chested saffron-clad figure's long hair and adornments are the main cues, but the face-based identity is not established here.

July 25 20072007-07-25September 11 20162016-09-11Outdoors under a leafy tree, a bare-chested man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl digs into reddish-brown soil with a long-handled hoe. He has long dark hair falling down his back, a beard, a vertical tilak on his forehead, and a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, with a gold chain visible at his neck. Behind him, a woman in a cream sari with gold border and green blouse stands with hands folded, and a woman in a blue kurta and turquoise leggings stands in the background, along with another man in white. The man's appearance with long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange clothing is a plausible match to the page's a person reference, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.2016-09-09Outdoor photo of a bhoomi puja at a dusty construction site.
