Outdoor photo of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis walking along a dusty path under trees. In the centre, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a rust-red wrap, a long rudraksha mala with large beads, a light forehead mark, and bangles; he is smiling with eyes lowered. Beside him on the right, a grey-haired, bare-chested man with a white beard wears a dark rudraksha mala and an orange cloth around his waist and laughs. Behind them, several men in orange robes with beaded necklaces and tilaka marks walk; one wears a black turban. A man in a white dhoti and pale shirt stands in the background. A concrete well ring is visible to the lower centre-right. Appearance-based candidate for a person is not clearly established from visible cues beyond the rudraksha mala and rust-red robe shared with the group, so he is described by role only.

Outdoor photo under shady trees of a long-bearded elder in saffron-orange robes, holding a tall wooden staff and a small bowl, smiling as he walks among several shaven-headed men in brown-red sannyasi robes with gold-bordered dhotis, rudraksha malas and orange shawls. Dirt ground and leafy canopy form the setting. The elder is an appearance-based candidate for a person, identified by his orange robes, long white beard and staff, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so the field is unsure. The other men are devotees or disciples.2013-11-05February 01 20182018-02-01Outdoor photo in a leafy grove with a concrete path and red earth.

Four or five people visible in total.2013-11-05February 01 20182018-02-01A photograph of a group walking along a stone-paved path under trees, marked with yellow lines. At centre, a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and rudraksha mala, walking ahead with a smile. Around him, several devotees in orange and red saffron robes with rudraksha malas follow; one woman holds a blue book and another checks a phone. An older man in white dhoti and white shawl with green and gold border walks beside them, and a man in a pink shirt and green dhoti stands behind. Appearance-based cues on the central figure (dreadlocks, saffron wrap, rudraksha) suggest the page's a person as a physical presence, though this is uncertain.2018-02-01March 01 20182018-03-01A group of men walks outdoors along a paved path in front of leafy trees and parked white vehicles, with uniformed police officers standing in the background.

The man in front wears a gold-and-bead garland and a rust-brown dhoti with yellow borders, with gold bangles on his wrists. Beside him a bald man with a white forehead band and a rudraksha mala wears a rust-brown robe, and a young boy behind wears orange robes. Other attendants in orange and maroon robes follow, and a drummer with a large drum appears at the right edge. The setting is a campus with a football goal and green lawns. Two candidates for the front-walking figure are plausible from appearance alone, so identity is uncertain.2013-05-28March 11 20182018-03-11September 26 20162016-09-26
