Outdoor photograph at a dirt-road entrance beside a silver SUV with its front passenger door open. A man in orange robes with a brown-and-red border holds a tray of white and pink flower garlands and reaches toward the door. A person in long dark hair, an orange robe with gold trim, a multi-strand beaded mala, a large ornate gold-toned pendant and a white forehead marking steps out of the vehicle, smiling. Yellow flowering shrubs and garlands decorate the car's rear, with a rocky hillside behind.

Night-time welcome at a roadside with a silver van behind. A man with long curly dark hair and a beard, wearing orange robes, holds up a long white and red flower garland. Beside him a smiling younger man in orange robes stands with his hands together, and a woman in white with an orange shawl holds a silver tray of flowers, leaves and a puja plate. Orange and yellow garlands and an orange umbrella with tassels frame the scene, and several other people in white and orange are visible at the edges.

Night photograph outside a building at a roadside. A man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a long rudraksha mala stands beside an open silver SUV door and smiles while stepping out. Several saffron-robed men with shaved heads crowd the vehicle and help with the door. Onlookers in the background include a man in a red shirt, women and children. A striped canopy and string lights are visible at left.

Outdoors on a dirt ground, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, saffron robes and a gold-bead and rudraksha necklace stands beside a silver car while a woman in a white sari with a saffron-gold border offers him a kalasha with a coconut, mango leaves and yellow marigold garlands. Nearby, a man in white dhoti stands by the open car door, a man in saffron robes with a long mala and other devotees in white and black shirts gather. A gold trident and a multicoloured umbrella canopy stand in the background, with a banner and tents behind. Swamiji (probable) is the man in saffron receiving the kalasha welcome, with long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha-and-gold necklaces. Eight physical people are visible.

A photograph of a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe stepping out of a silver SUV onto dusty ground, with palm trees and a flag-lined background behind. Two attendants in orange robes stand beside him: one at left wears an orange turban and holds a bead necklace, and one at right in an orange kurta with a maroon shawl holds a silver vessel with a green leaf offering. A person in white at far right holds hands in namaste. The seated man's features are not distinctive enough to identify him, so his identity is unsure; he is shown as an exiting passenger in orange ritual dress.
