A photograph of a relief distribution outdoors under a corrugated metal roof on bamboo poles. A woman with hair in a bun and an orange saffron sari with a red-and-white checked shawl stands at the left, smiling and reaching out. A monastic in orange robes, with a shaved head, leans across a concrete counter handing down a blue plastic-wrapped bundle. Other saffron-robed monastics stand behind, a man in white dhoti and a white-clad woman stand nearby, and a man with a camera on a strap wears an orange shawl. Blue tarpaulins, cardboard boxes, a steel pot and palm trees are visible. Seated people are partly visible at the lower left.

A photograph of a relief distribution outdoors under a corrugated metal roof beside a white building. A young man in an orange saffron robe and orange head cloth stands on a raised concrete ledge handing out folded clothing. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti with a bare upper body and a white shawl sorts items from a blue plastic bag. Men in white shirts and a man in a maroon shirt reach up to receive cloth, and women in yellow and white saris gather below. Palm trees and bright sunlight are visible in the background.2012-01-03August 09 20072007-08-09January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03Outdoor photo at an ashram-style gathering under red-and-white striped canopies and shade trees. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, standing barefoot on a paved path with his hands clasped. Around him, saffron-robed sannyasis and white-clad devotees stand and bow; one older man in a white shirt and grey trousers leans forward with folded hands.

A man in an orange saffron robe with an orange turban stands at the left beside a pillar, one arm extended, smiling toward a group. Several women and a man in the foreground face him; one woman wears a pale top and has a long braid, and others wear saris. On the counter are folded colourful clothes, a bag of goods and a cardboard box. Video cameras are visible at the right edge. A man in white stands at the left in the background. Appearance is consistent with a saffron-robed sannyasi wearing a turban, though this cannot be confirmed from the image alone.2012-01-03August 09 20072007-08-09A photograph of a barefoot man in saffron-orange draped robes with gold-bordered edges and a rudraksha mala with a central ornament, standing on orange stone steps outdoors among palm trees. He has long swept-back dark hair, a yellow and red forehead mark, and holds a yellow rope or cord in one raised hand while looking downward. Beside him, a shaven-headed young assistant in orange cloth holds a silver tray of orange cloth and yellow flower petals toward him. A third person, partly visible at the lower right in white cloth, sits near a dark stone base. The scene suggests a ritual or sacred observance, with yellow marigold petals scattered on the step.2011-10-07January 04 20122012-01-04A photograph of a walking procession on a paved brick courtyard.
