Night outdoor photo of a ritual gathering under strings of multicolour lights. A central man with a full dark beard and a white tilak stands with eyes closed, arms raised with palms joined above his head, wearing a long rust-red robe, a large pink lotus garland and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. Beside him to the right, a bare-chested shaven-headed man in white dhoti and red shawl holds his hands in anjali, with a rudraksha mala. To the left, another shaven-headed man in red and white holds palms together in prayer. Behind them, devotees in white and red stand on a striped mat. Bowls of offerings sit in the lower foreground.

A barefoot man with a short beard and a red tilak on his forehead stands on a raised platform at night, hands raised above his head in a salutation pose with eyes closed. He wears a reddish-brown silk dhoti and matching shawl with gold border, a long multicolour garland of white, purple and red flowers, a gold chain necklace, and bracelets of red and orange flowers on his wrist. Two attendants in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand to the right, and a row of coloured fairy lights hangs in the background. Lit oil lamps and offering trays with flowers sit on the ground at the lower left.

A man with long dark hair and a full beard stands outdoors with his palms pressed together in namaste, gazing upward. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned cloth draped over his shoulders, a white jasmine garland, and a dark rudraksha mala across his chest, with a white tilak and red mark on his forehead. Behind him, a shirtless young attendant with long hair and a gold-tone necklace and rudraksha beads holds a brass lamp with a flame. Other attendants in white dhotis stand nearby, and a bright orange and red canopy edge appears at the upper left. Swamiji (probable): the central man has long hair, saffron-toned robes, a rudraksha mala and a garland, which are compatible cues, and the page links him to this event.

Outdoor photo of a bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead, standing with palms pressed together at chest level and gazing upward. He wears a maroon-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border, a dark rudraksha mala and a thick white, red and green garland of jasmine and roses. Behind him, people in orange garments and white dhotis hold brass ritual trays and kalasha vessels under a canopy of coloured tassels. Dappled sunlight falls through trees. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long hair, rudraksha mala and garland as cues, shown in the role of a standing devotee in the procession.

Night-time ritual photograph at an outdoor ashram courtyard lit by strings of green lights. A central bearded man with long dark hair and white forehead markings stands with arms raised and hands clasped above his head, eyes closed in prayer. He wears a rust-brown robe, a pink lotus-flower garland, a rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklaces. Two young men flank him: the one on the left wears an orange cloth, orange-and-gold shoulder wrap, gold necklaces and white body markings; the one on the right wears an orange lower cloth, bead necklaces and white markings. Behind them, a crowd in white and yellow dhotis sits or stands, and brass kalasha pots line the floor. A tall golden pole and a temple-like structure appear in the background.

A photograph of a bare-chested man with hands clasped above his head, eyes closed and smiling, at an evening event with blurred coloured lights behind him. He wears a reddish-brown draped cloth with gold zari edging, a long garland of white jasmine and purple flowers with red blooms, several gold beaded necklaces, and red and gold bangles on one wrist. A red tilak marks his forehead and long dark hair falls past his shoulders. A partly visible person stands at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central figure, identified by long hair, ornate gold necklaces, garlands and the page's event context, performing a devotional gesture.
