Exterior of a cream-painted two-storey building with a red trim band, a wooden door and a lattice gate numbered 2, with a small concrete step and potted plants with yellow flowers along the wall. A sign with lettering is mounted above, and a list of names is posted beside the door. At the right edge, three men in saffron-orange robes stand near the steps, one bald with glasses, another partly visible in the foreground, and a third with short hair in a saffron top. Their faces and identities are not determinable from appearance here, so no candidate is named. Weathered plaster and a drainpipe are visible on the adjacent wall.

The taller monk in the centre wears an orange robe draped over his shoulder and has a shaved head; the monk beside him wears a dark red robe and holds a small cloth bundle. On the right, a line of young men in white kurtas and dhotis stand against the wall with hands folded. Strong sunlight casts long shadows across the path.2014-03-14Outdoor courtyard scene before cream and pink buildings with arched windows and a leafy tree.

Dappled light falls through the trees above the walkway.2014-01-23Two saffron-robed men walk together outdoors past a whitewashed building with a barred window and potted flowering plants with red blooms. On the left, a man with long dark hair swept back wears a rust-red robe with gold-yellow borders, a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold bead necklace, and a red thread on his wrist. Beside him, a shaved-headed older man in a bright orange shawl and robe, with a vermilion tilak on his forehead, gestures with one hand as he talks. Several other monks and men in the background, including a man in a brown shirt, stand near the wall. The left man has distinctive long hair, ornate beads and rudraksha, so a probable Swamiji identification applies to him as the person with long hair and rudraksha malas; the older saffron-clad man is a sannyasi in a visible tilak and shawl.2014-03-14A photograph of several people walking across a bare concrete courtyard between white-washed buildings with a pink door and a dark red door, under leafy trees.
