Photo inside an open-sided dining pavilion with a corrugated roof, metal trusses and hanging fluorescent tubes. Four people laugh together in the foreground: a bearded man on the left in orange robes with a maroon sash, a smiling young man in white kurta with an orange shawl at centre, and two men in orange robes on the right, one with his hand raised mid-gesture. Behind them, white plastic chairs and steel serving trays are set on tables, with more people and a woman in yellow and white at the back. No one here is identified by face; the scene shows monastic-style orange clothing at a shared meal.

Four smiling men in orange and saffron robes stand together under an orange-roofed open dining pavilion with metal trusses and fluorescent tube lights. The man on the left has a full dark beard and a red tilak, and is raising a hand in greeting. Beside him a younger man in a white kurta with an orange shawl laughs with his hand raised. Two men on the right in orange clothing smile broadly, one with a wristwatch and a red tilak. Behind them, people sit at long tables with steel plates and white plastic chairs. No a person candidate is distinguishable by the cues required for identification, so the men are described by role only as devotees.2008-12-25December 25 20082008-12-25A photograph taken under a open-sided thatched and metal-framed shelter shows a smiling man at left wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over his body and a long rudraksha mala, with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, eyes closed and laughing. Behind him stand several devotees in white dhotis and white saris with orange shawls, several laughing and smiling, and a person in white holds a video camera. A red-painted wall and bamboo blinds are visible in the background, with a small tray of offerings at the lower left. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala) appears laughing at left, with devotees in orange shawls around him.2006-11-20A photograph of an indoor room with wooden cabinets, a red-velvet curtain and a tripod light stand. On the right, a man with long swept-back black hair, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and a beaded mala necklace, sits on a white cushion with an orange cloth, gesturing with his raised right hand while laughing. Beside him on the left, a smiling man in a striped grey shirt stands next to a man in white clothes with an orange shawl and a red tilak mark on his forehead, who wears a wristwatch. A figure in orange is partly visible at the far right edge. The people appear to be in conversation. The visible man in orange is shown with distinctive long hair and saffron clothing and beads, so he is a person candidate in person.2010-07-14A photograph inside an open-sided pavilion with a bamboo-mat and corrugated roof. On the left, a long-haired man in an orange saffron dhoti-wrap smiles broadly, wearing a long rudraksha mala and holding a small object in one hand. Behind him stand a line of smiling devotees in white ritual dhotis and kurtas with orange shawls, some wearing red-and-white threaded beads. A cameraman in white stands at the back right holding a video camera. A pedestal fan and a metal stand sit in the foreground, with a green cloth on the floor and a brass plate near the bottom edge.

Several people stand in the background, and the scene reads as informal ashram life during the Maheshwara Puja period.2006-11-20A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, smiling broadly, wears an orange saffron shawl over his shoulder and a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck. He sits on an orange-cushioned seat, with an orange towel folded on the armrest. Facing him, a young boy in a white shirt leans in, and a standing man in a white shirt with an orange shawl looks on. Behind them, a wooden tray holds fruit and small items, potted plants stand near a red-and-white striped wall, and a dark signboard with white lettering hangs above. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference with several cues (long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala), so he is described as Swamiji (probable), seated and speaking with the boy.2010-07-11July 20 20102010-07-20Three smiling men stand together on a white and blue-striped stone staircase outdoors.
