Photograph of three people in an indoor display area with red walls and framed photos. Two men in orange saffron robes stand with their backs to the camera, one with grey hair and one with dark hair. A central figure in a red-maroon turban and ornate gold-coloured necklaces faces the camera and speaks, while a woman with long blonde hair and a gold headband in a white top and patterned red-black garment touches his shoulder. Behind them are framed photos of seated devotees in orange and white clothing, a garlanded deity image with red flowers at left, and Kannada script on the wall. The central figure's appearance with turban, ornate jewelry and gold ornaments is a person candidate, but the identity remains uncertain.

A seated man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and an orange turban-like head covering stands while a woman in an orange-and-gold silk sari with a green garland and gold bangles drapes a pink and orange shawl over his shoulders. Around them, men in white shirts with orange shawls stand, one holding a booklet, and a pineapple sits on a tray near the flowers. The person in the orange turban and rudraksha mala shows appearance cues that are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain, and no name is printed on the scene itself.2013-10-19September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesA photograph of four men in saffron and orange robes seated and standing in front of a framed portrait garlanded with marigolds. The seated man in the centre wears a deep red-orange turban, a large ornate gold pendant on a thick gold chain with beads, and a saffron-and-gold dhoti with a beaded necklace; his hands are folded in his lap. A bearded elder in orange with a white forehead marking sits beside him, and a bald man in orange with a white shawl sits at the right. A standing man on the left wears an orange robe, orange tilak and beaded necklaces. Behind them a framed portrait of a garlanded figure hangs above a red draped cloth, with smaller framed photographs on the walls.2015-09-15 +1 copiesA seated group inside a small room with a framed portrait at the centre, draped with a yellow and orange marigold garland.

To the right, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala listens, and beside him another man in orange robes sits with his head lowered.

In the foreground a bald man in an orange shawl with a yellow tilak on his forehead faces a figure in a maroon turban with a golden ornament, wearing a dark maroon robe, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace with a large pendant, gold bangles and rings, and smiling. Behind them a bearded man with a white beard and a sadhu with matted hair and yellow tilak stand among others, one holding an offering. A young man in a pink shirt stands at left. The maroon-turbaned figure has distinctive long gold necklace and turban cues, so the appearance is a person candidate in conversation with devotees; the scene shows exchange and blessing among sadhus at a camp.2016-05-11March 20 20142014-03-20October 19 20132013-10-19
