Three men walk outdoors past a brick wall under bright daylight. On the left, an older man with white hair and a white shirt and white dhoti smiles and walks with hands near his waist. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron shawl and dhoti, with a heavy gold beaded necklace and gold chain; the man in orange, with long hair and a gold garland, is a person appearing as a sannyasi in saffron. On the right, a shaved-headed young man in saffron robes wears a rudraksha mala and pendant and holds a small item in his hand. A girl in a green skirt and yellow blouse stands in the background near a doorway.

A photograph of a group walking barefoot along a dirt road beside a low brick wall and stacked red bricks, with trees behind. In front, a man with long dark hair and a tilak, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala, carries sandals in one hand and walks alongside men in white dhotis and shirts. Two men at left wear white dhotis with red borders and tilak marks, one carrying sandals. Several other men in white and a bare-chested man in a yellow cloth stand further back on the road. A motorcycle and a few people are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man in orange, based on his long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.

Outdoor photo at a palm-lined ground with a row of national and flags on poles behind. In the foreground, a man in a short-sleeved white shirt and grey trousers stands at left beside several saffron-robed sadhus with orange cloths and rudraksha malas. A bearded sadhu in orange wrap with a tall orange turban stands centre, facing a figure at right who wears a long orange robe, a long rudraksha mala, and sandals, and extends an arm toward the flags. Another person in white stands among them, and a yellow-clothed figure is at centre. Concrete slab markers sit in the sandy ground. The clothing and the robed figure at right have appearance cues consistent with a person, but the identification is uncertain.

Outdoor photograph at a construction-like site with palm trees and foliage behind. A young man with long, swept-back dark hair stands in the centre wearing a saffron-orange wrap that covers his upper body and leaves his arms bare, and appears to have a bare upper torso, with a rudraksha mala visible at his neck. Beside him a younger man in white shirt and white dhoti wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. To the left a man in a light striped shirt and white dhoti stands with arms folded, and another man in white with a gold chain and mala gestures with his hand near his mouth. On the right an older white-haired man in a white shirt wears a long rudraksha mala and gestures while talking. Several other people are partly visible at the edges. Appearance-based candidate, a person, in the centre; identity uncertain from appearance alone.
