A group of men stand together on an orange carpet in a plain room with pale green walls, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a ceiling fan and red-cushioned chairs. A man in a saffron-orange robe stands at the centre, hands folded, with long dark hair. Around him, men wear white shirts and cream trousers, one wears a maroon shirt, and some hold red folders or cloth. Whether the saffron-robed central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so no identification is made.

A group of nine men stands in a plain room with pale green walls, a wall-mounted air conditioner and a ceiling fan, curtains behind them, and an orange cloth spread on the floor. Most men wear white shirts and cream trousers, one wears a maroon shirt, and several are barefoot or in socks. In the centre, a figure in a loose saffron-orange robe stands with palms pressed together in greeting, with a visible shaved head and no crown, turban or rudraksha malas. Some men hold red folders. Appearance-based cues are insufficient to name the saffron-robed figure, so his role is given as a person in saffron robes.2010-07-22A group photograph in a plain room with pale green walls, a wall-mounted air conditioner and cream curtains. Nine men stand in a row on an orange floor covering. Most wear white shirts and white or cream trousers, while one in a maroon shirt stands second from left and a man in a dark shirt and black trousers stands near the centre. In the centre a young man with short dark hair wears a loose saffron-orange robe over one shoulder and stands with his hands folded in front of him, one of the people with a distinctive orange-robed sannyasi appearance. Several men hold folded red papers. The scene reads as a casual gathering of devotees around a sannyasi.2010-07-22A group photograph in a plain room with pale green walls, a ceiling fan, a wall-mounted air conditioner and a sofa at left. Seven men stand on an orange floor covering. Five wear white shirts and cream trousers, two wear maroon shirts and cream trousers. The man at centre wears a long saffron-orange robe, has short hair and stands with hands clasped. The man at centre is an appearance-based candidate; the page does not establish his identity from the image itself, so no identification is made. Several men hold red envelopes. Bare feet are visible.2010-07-22A group of eight men stands in a plainly furnished room with a ceiling fan, a wall air conditioner, cream walls, a window with curtains, and blue-cushioned sofas. Near the centre a man in a saffron-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala stands barefoot on a white mat over an orange cloth, hands folded. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts wear saffron-orange shawls, and one wears a pale kurta. A man in a maroon shirt stands at the right. A small white-clad figure with shaved head stands beside the central saffron-robed man. The room has a kitchen counter at left with bottles. The central saffron-robed figure has a long rudraksha mala and wears glasses; his appearance is not distinctive enough to establish identity, so he is recorded as a sannyasi in saffron with unsure status.2010-07-27A group of seven men stands in a plain room with pale yellow walls, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a ceiling fan and a sheer curtain.

Six men stand close together on an orange cloth. The central figure wears a saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on the forehead and no visible long hair or crown; there is no clear appearance-based cue to identify him as a person. To his left, a man in white holds a folded white cloth, and two men in orange shawls stand beside him. On the right, a man in a maroon shirt and a man in white with an orange shawl stand together.

In the centre stands a young man in a plain saffron-orange robe with a red mark on his forehead, hands clasped in front, smiling; the page suggests a person and his appearance has a saffron robe and forehead mark but no distinctive hair, crown or rudraksha cues, so identity is uncertain. Flanking him are four men in white shirts and white or cream trousers, and one in a maroon shirt holding a red envelope, with another man in a maroon shirt at the left edge also holding a red envelope. A saffron cloth covers the floor beneath them, and a blue floral sofa sits at the right.2010-07-22A photograph of a group of men standing barefoot on an orange cloth in a plain room with pale green walls, a ceiling fan and a small wooden cabinet holding a television.

Several men in white shirts and dark trousers stand with hands folded or arms crossed; one man on the right wears a blue striped shirt and holds a red object, and another holds a paper. The person on the left is seated facing them, appearing to speak or give instruction. No candidate matching the a person description is clearly visible in appearance.2010-06-27July 21 20102010-07-21
