A photograph of an outdoor construction area with a partly built open-sided hall. In the foreground, cinder blocks and raw red earth lie on the ground. To the left, a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl walks away, carrying a small silver vessel, while other figures in white and orange shawls walk behind him. On the right, a smiling man with long dark hair, a saffron-orange wrap and a rudraksha mala holds a wooden staff and stands on the earth.

A photograph of an open-sided construction area with a partly built structure of grey concrete blocks and bare red earth. On the right, a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap with red borders, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and holds a long wooden staff with a brass tip. He appears to be a probable Swamiji, given the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. On the left, a barefoot woman with light hair wears a white sari with an orange shawl and carries a small brass vessel, walking along concrete blocks toward a water-filled pit. Behind her, a man in white kurta and dhoti also walks toward the pit, and further back other men in white shirts and orange-trimmed white garments are present.

Outdoor scene on a dirt ground near a construction area with sand and gravel piles, a concrete wall, palm trees and a silver car behind. A man with long swept-back hair wears a maroon dhoti with yellow-gold borders, a bare upper body and a long beaded necklace, and gestures with his hands while speaking. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes and an orange headwrap listens and gestures. To the right, an older bald man in orange robes with an orange turban holds a small framed picture and carries a red bag. Other men in maroon and gold-bordered dhotis with rudraksha malas stand around, and a man in white kurta and white dhoti stands at left.

A photograph of a group of men gathered outdoors on a dirt ground beside thatched huts and palm trees, looking down at broken carved stone and terracotta fragments on the ground, including a large carved pillar-like piece and a stone head. A bald man in a white dhoti and white shawl, with glasses, extends his arm and points toward the fragments while speaking. Around him are men in orange and saffron robes, one in a green shawl and a few in pink-orange wraps. A long-haired man in orange robes wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace stands at the centre-right, and another man in orange with a gold necklace stands beside him. Cardboard boxes and a bamboo fence appear at the right edge.

Outdoor bhumi puja at a pink-walled ashram building. A man in a rust-brown robe with a large multicoloured flower garland stands at a square brick-and-earth ground site, holding a ritual implement and looking down toward offerings of marigold petals. Beside him, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with an orange-red shawl bends over the ground. Other attendants in white dhotis, bare-chested, wear rudraksha malas and orange cloths, and a man in an orange-red turban holds a brass vessel. A tall bamboo pole topped with a red and gold fringed canopy rises at the right, and a kolam of coloured powder decorates the ground at left. Several people watch from a balcony above. a person appearance cues: the garlanded man in the rust robe with a rudraksha-style necklace is a candidate; treat as unsure.
