A photograph of a man in an orange-saffron cloth wrap, bare-shouldered, wearing a heavy gold necklace, reaching out his hand toward the trunk of a grey elephant at a wooden log enclosure. The elephant's wrinkled trunk extends toward him over a rough timber fence tied with rope, under a thatched shelter with green trees in the background. The man's appearance (saffron wrap and gold ornate necklace) is a distinctive cue, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji, here feeding an elephant.

A photo at an outdoor enclosure with wooden log fencing and dirt ground. An elephant's trunk reaches over the fence toward a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a long ornate gold-bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, who holds a banana. Beside him a woman in a red-and-gold sari holds a bunch of bananas. A younger man in a light orange robe stands at right with his hand extended. A large grey elephant calf stands behind the fence. A tall blue-and-white banner and tent structures stand in the background among trees.

A grey elephant with a wrinkled trunk reaches over a rustic bamboo and log fence toward a person's outstretched hand, which grips the tip of the trunk. Dirt ground, wet patches and dry straw lie in an enclosure beneath a thatched shelter and green trees. Only a forearm is visible from the left, so the person is not fully shown. The scene reads as elephant feeding at an animal enclosure.

A photograph of an outdoor enclosure beside a wall, with palm trees behind. A large dark elephant with a yellow rope around its neck stands at left, its trunk lowered toward a woman in a white top and dark hair tied back with a pink ribbon. In the centre a man in a white dhoti and white shirt stands beside her. At right, a man with long dark curly hair wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a rudraksha mala, and reaches out to touch the elephant's head. Straw and leaves are scattered on the ground, and a stone block sits near the woman.

A rotated photograph of an elephant being fed through a wooden railing. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a multi-strand necklace of gold bells or beads, reaches toward the elephant's trunk from behind the rails. In the foreground a woman in a red sari and white-banded bangle leans over the same railing. Rough wooden poles and bamboo form the enclosure, with dry earth ground beneath. Another person in white and red clothing sits at the lower left edge.

A photograph of an elephant at an outdoor enclosure with a stone wall and palm trees behind it. A man with long, voluminous dark curly hair wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulder and a long rudraksha mala, and reaches up to touch the elephant's trunk. Beside him, a person in white clothing with dark hair tied back stands facing the elephant. A small figure in a white top with a pink hair tie is in the foreground, and dry palm leaves lie on the ground. The man's appearance, with long swept curly hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, is a person candidate, though the image is not a confirmed identification.

A photograph of an elephant at an outdoor compound with palm fronds on the ground and a tiled-roof building behind. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands at right, extending his hand toward the elephant's trunk. A woman in a white sari with a shawl and a man in cream clothing stand nearby; a man in a red shirt and orange-and-white lungi stands at left beside the elephant. Several people in white clothes stand in the background near a clothesline with banana trees. The elephant's trunk reaches down toward the group.

Outdoors in a palace grounds courtyard, a large elephant with a purple-and-white decorated ear panel extends its trunk toward a man in a long-sleeved saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back curly dark hair. He smiles and gestures toward the trunk. A woman in white clothes stands at a stone pillar beside the elephant, and a young man in a white dhoti and shirt stands behind her. A partially visible person in white is at the right edge. Dry palm fronds lie on the ground and a stone wall with trees stands behind. The man in orange shows the cues of a probable Swamiji, with his long curly hair, saffron robe and mala, which the page supports as Swamiji at this event.
