A photograph of a campus cleaning or groundwork task at a red-walled building with a carved wooden door. A man in an orange shirt and orange pants crouches on the steps, digging loose soil with a small shovel while pulling a stone slab aside.

A younger man in an orange shirt and orange pants stands nearby, and an older man in a black t-shirt and black track pants watches on the left. Potted plants line the steps and the wall, and dirt is spread across the stone steps.

Outdoor ritual at a gold-ornamented shrine structure. A long-haired person in an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti pours water from a silver vessel over a clay pot holding a plant, with green leaves placed at its base. Beside them, saffron-robed men with rudraksha-style garlands and bangles stand with palms pressed together in devotion. A figure in white clothes stands behind, and a white canopy and flower garlands appear in the background. The gold-framed shrine has ornate carved relief patterns.

Outdoor campus scene beside a red-painted building with a large window grid and stone steps. A man in orange robes bends over potted plants placed on the steps, tending or arranging them. A second orange-robed person stands to the left holding a long-handled tool, and a figure in white with dark hair works with a rake or tool at the right edge of the steps. Terracotta pots hold green shrubs, and loose gravel and stone slabs lie on the dirt ground. In the background more people in orange and white walk across an open field toward trees and a low building.

Night photograph on a brick-paved walkway beside a lit building with a covered canopy. Several monastic men in saffron-orange robes stand and walk; one at left wears orange dhoti and shawl, a bald man in the centre wears orange with a rudraksha mala, and a figure behind wears light saffron. At right a man in a yellow shirt and dark trousers moves past, partly blurred, near a person in red cloth bending over a large grey sack on the ground. No visible person is clearly identified as a person by the cues required, so the appearance is uncertain and roles are given instead.
