Photograph of four people in saffron-orange robes with gold borders, standing on a sandy riverbank at sunrise or sunset over a hazy river. Several people wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. A bald man on the left raises his right arm and points toward the sun, while the others look on. A bald man on the right has yellow-painted markings on his arms and chest. Boats with poles line the shore, and a small crowd in white clothing is visible in the distance. Faint orange light streaks across the sky above the water.

Three saffron-robed men stand on a sandy riverbank at hazy early morning, seen from behind and in profile. Each wears a rust-orange garment with gold-yellow borders draped over one shoulder, and rudraksha mala beads around the neck. The bald man on the right has a yellow mark on his forehead and wrists adorned with beaded bracelets. The man in the centre has long dark hair swept back and points toward the river. Behind them, devotees in white clothes walk along the water's edge, with boats and a few small figures visible further away. The bright sky washes out the background.2015-10-27October 27 20152015-10-27Outdoor photo on a sandy riverbank at dusk, with a hazy pale sky and boats moored along the water. Several monastic figures in saffron-orange robes with gold-striped sashes stand in a loose group facing the river; one wears a red turban and another wears a long orange garment. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers walks nearby, and a person holds a white cloth. Smoke rises from a fire on the left, and a few more people in white stand near the boats.2015-10-27October 27 20152015-10-27A dusk photograph on a sandy riverbank with moored wooden boats and long bamboo poles, a hazy river behind them and a stone building at right. Three saffron-clad men walk together in the foreground: the man at right wears a bright orange kurta and has long swept-back dark hair, with hands pressed together, while two shaved-headed men in dark maroon-brown robes with gold borders wear layered gold necklaces and beaded garlands. A group of onlookers in white shirts, a dhoti and saris stands to the left. One candidate matches cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so this is Swamiji (probable) walking along the ghat with his companions.2015-10-27A photograph of a group of sannyasis walking barefoot across a sandy riverbank at dusk, with a wide, hazy river and moored boats behind them. In the centre, a man in a dark red turban and a long gold necklace wears a dark red and gold-bordered robe and carries a white plastic bag. Beside him, a man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and sandals walks with hands clasped, apparently a candidate for a person by appearance, though the cues are limited. Other sannyasis in rust-red robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk alongside, and a bald man in a red robe folds his arms at right. Behind them, women in pink saris and onlookers stand near the water, and a photographer crouches at the left edge.2015-10-27Photograph of a group of saffron-robed sadhus walking along a sandy riverbank at dusk, with boats moored on calm water and hazy sky behind them. In the centre, a man in a red-maroon turban and gold beaded necklace holds his hands together, while a man in bright orange robes with a shawl walks to the right, hands clasped in front. Several other ascetics in maroon and mustard dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, follow, and a white-clad woman and other people stand in the background. The scene suggests a Ganga ghat visit with devotees.2015-10-27October 27 20152015-10-27October 27 20152015-10-27Photograph of a group walking across a sandy riverbank at dawn, with a hazy pale sky and a wide river behind them dotted with moored boats and wooden poles.

Behind them, women in white saris walk, and on the far right women in pink saris move along the bank.2015-10-27Two figures in saffron and orange robes stand on a pale stone riverside ghat facing a misty river. The figure in the centre has long dark hair, wears a deep maroon-brown garment with yellow stripes, and points toward the water with one arm; the figure on the left wears an orange shawl and holds clasped hands. Several small wooden boats are drawn up along the steps, a few people stand on the far ghat, and a taut line crosses the grey sky. The scene is hazy and washed out in pale grey tones.2014-01-30January 30 20142014-01-30
