Outdoor group photo under trees beside a small shrine structure. A bearded man with long white hair and beard, wearing an orange saffron robe with a red rudraksha mala, holds a tall walking staff and smiles. Four men flank him in rust-red dhotis and shawls with dark rudraksha malas, one with bare arms marked with white ash stripes, others with tilak on their foreheads, all standing with hands folded. A stone pedestal with a small golden murti stands at the right edge. The orange-robed figure has long white hair, a beard, and a red mala, cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, so the identity is an appearance-based probable candidate.

A procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a dirt path beneath a canopy of trees. In the centre, an elderly man with a long white beard and orange robe, holding a wooden staff and wearing a red tilak on his forehead, walks with his hands folded at his waist. Around him, younger men in orange-brown robes with gold-striped borders, rudraksha malas and shaved heads walk alongside; one holds a garland of white and red flowers, another presses palms together in namaste. Behind them, more devotees and a colourful banner on a pole can be seen.2013-11-05Outdoor photograph of a procession on a dirt path under trees. A central elderly man with a long white beard and orange robe walks forward, holding a long staff, with a red mark on his forehead. Flanking him, two shaved-headed men in rust-brown and saffron robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas smile and hold their hands at their chests in respectful gestures; white sacred markings are on their foreheads and arms. Additional people in orange and brown robes follow behind on a patterned mat over the path, and a few more figures are visible in the background.2013-11-05Outdoor photo of a procession on a dirt path beneath leafy trees. A white-bearded elderly man in a flowing saffron-orange robe walks barefoot in the centre, holding a tall wooden staff in his right hand. Around him are several men in reddish-brown and gold-bordered dhotis and shawls, with brown rudraksha malas around their necks; one on the left guides him by the arm. Behind them a woman in a sari and other devotees follow on a rocky path. Visible clothing cues include the saffron robe and bearded elder, but facial appearance is not used for identification; the central man's presentation is consistent with the page's reference to a person but is not distinctive enough to confirm.2013-11-05Outdoor photo in a leafy grove with a concrete path and red earth. An older man with a long white beard and flowing saffron-orange robes, holding a long staff, walks barefoot beside a younger man in rust-brown robes with gold-bordered shawl and rudraksha mala, smiling. Behind them, several shaven-headed men in rust-brown robes with rudraksha malas stand or walk. A dark rock-like structure with a red cloth lies at lower left. Bare trees and foliage fill the background. Four or five people visible in total.2013-11-05Outdoor 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.2013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05
