In the foreground at left, a person with long dark hair in an orange robe points while speaking. Beside them, two bald men in rust-orange shawls stand with hands folded, a third bald man in an orange robe and shawl listens with hands clasped, and a fourth bald man in orange shawl folds his hands in front of him. Behind them, about a dozen men in white kurtas wear yellow shawls, one wears a rudraksha mala, and some wear glasses. The setting appears to be an ashram welcome gathering.2009-10-15Outdoor photograph on a dirt courtyard beside a tree and potted plants, with a string of orange triangular pennant flags overhead. A person in a long-haired, swept-back style wears an orange-red robe, a rudraksha mala and a shawl, gesturing as he speaks, with an orange-robed sannyasi in a shaved head facing him. Around them, an older bearded man in a pale peach dhoti and shawl, another orange-robed monk, and men in white shirts and white dhotis stand in conversation.

A cluster of about fifteen men and a few women in saffron and orange robes stand in conversation. In the centre, a bald man in a plain white dhoti and shawl stands with his hands together. A bearded man in a rust-coloured wrap and a man in a teal turban stand nearby, and a woman in a long-haired orange robe with a sash faces the group at right. Compared with the other figures, the bald man in white stands out as the person a few sources would associate with the event, but his appearance does not clearly establish that, so this is left unsure. Sandals, a walking staff and a rudraksha-style bead necklace are visible among the group.2009-12-30Outdoor photo on a sandy compound in front of a pink-walled building with a banana plant and columns.
