A photograph of a rocky riverbank in a Himalayan valley with fast white water flowing over boulders and pine-covered slopes behind. In the right foreground a person with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a flat grey rock, wearing an orange-red top and orange wrap with orange lower garments, back to the camera and facing the river. At the far left edge a partly visible person in dark clothing stands in the water. The scene suggests a riverside pause during a mountain journey, with no ritual objects visible.

Outdoors in a high-altitude valley of green grass and scattered stones, with a snow-capped mountain peak and rocky slopes behind. On the right, a person wearing a bright orange turban, orange fleece top and an orange shawl with gold trim sits and smiles toward a man on the left in a blue and black puffer jacket who leans forward with his head bent. Cairns of stacked stones stand in the grass, and a blue mat lies in the lower left.

A smiling person in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban with a gold brooch sits on rocky mountain grass beside a stacked stone cairn. Strands of rudraksha beads hang across the chest, with a gold necklace and a leopard-print cloth draped at the side. Behind is a rocky ridge and a snow-capped peak under pale clouds. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a saffron turban, orange robes, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at Kailash.
