Outdoor photo of a group walking along a paved garden path lined with green shrubs, palm trees and red-edged kerbs under a hazy sky. In the centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over his body and walks barefoot; the appearance cues are a long hairstyle and saffron clothing, so he is a person figure, though the identity is uncertain. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow, one carrying a black bag, and a man in white with a shawl stands at the left edge.

A photograph of a group walking along an unpaved dirt path beside a landscaped garden with flowering shrubs, a lawn and tall green trees, with a white building at the upper left. The central figure wears a long loose saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala around the neck, and open sandals, with long dark hair swept back; the figure walks head bowed and is flanked by a few devotees. Three other people walk with them: a man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl, a man in white with an orange shawl, and a man in an orange dhoti with a red-and-white checked shawl at right. Several more people in white shirts and dhotis are visible behind, and a small group of distant figures stands further back. Overall the scene is an outdoor ashram walkway with a procession-like gathering.

A photograph of a group walking along a dirt path beside a leafy mango tree with unripe fruit. The central figure wears a flowing saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a vertical tilak on the forehead, and orange sandals. Around him, four men in white kurta-style garments and white dhotis walk with him, two wearing orange shawls over their shoulders, one carrying a small notebook at his side. A man at the far right wears white and a pendant necklace. Dry grass and a wooden fence post are visible on the left. The setting is a rural, open area with sunlight and sandy soil underfoot.

A group of about two dozen men walks barefoot along a dusty dirt path through scrubby green grass and bushes under a pale sky, on a pilgrimage circuit. Most wear white dhotis and kurtas with orange shawls draped over their shoulders. In the foreground, a man with long, swept-back dark hair, an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala walks holding a wooden staff. Beside him, a man in an orange robe carries a small orange-and-white bag. Other walkers in white and orange follow in a loose line across the frame.

A photograph of six men walking together along a reddish dirt path beside a whitewashed building with a red tiled roof, a wire fence and a leafy tree at right. In the centre-right, a man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange shawl and orange dhoti, gestures with his right hand while speaking. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in orange robes with folded hands walks ahead. At left, a bearded man in orange robes with a pendant necklace and a white-clad man with a rudraksha mala follow. Behind them, a bearded man in orange and a man in white with a yellow shawl walk. Several figures wear orange or white garments; the group appears to be on an outdoor inspection or visit.

A procession walks along a dirt road lined with trees and potted plants under bright daylight. In the centre, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala wears a garland of marigolds and carries an offering tray, flanked by orange-robed sadhus and men in white shirts and dhotis. A large empty billboard stands behind the trees and a parked car sits to the left. Several figures in white and saffron walk together, some carrying items. The visible cues of the central figure (long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, garland) are distinctive, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.

Outdoor photograph of a procession on a dirt path through scrubby green vegetation and rocks. In front, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange shawl walks ahead, wearing sandals. Beside him, a bald man in a white shirt walks barefoot. Behind them, a line of saffron-robed sannyasis carries long wooden staves with orange pennants, and a man in white kurta and dhoti walks among them. Approximately eight to ten people are visible.

A group of saffron-robed sadhus walks barefoot along a pale dirt path in an open ashram compound in daylight. In the centre, a long-haired man in orange with a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace leads the line, flanked by bearded sadhus in orange, brown and rust-coloured cloths. Several men in white shirts and trousers with lanyard badges walk alongside, one holding a video camera. Behind them are a concrete block wall, a wooden fence, young trees and a utility pole under a pale sky.
