A photograph of a single-storey house with a terracotta-tiled sloped roof and a white-pillared porch, set behind a red wrought-iron gate with spiked finials. Several people walk out along a tiled path toward the gate: a man in white shirt and white dhoti with a beaded necklace leads, followed by a woman in an orange sari holding white papers, and other people in white and orange clothing. A grey car is parked at the left edge, and tall green trees and a palm stand against a bright sky.

Exterior view of a two-storey ashram building with a terracotta-tiled roof, white pillared porch and a red wrought-iron gate with scrolled finials. Several people walk up the entrance path: a man in a white shirt and white dhoti at the left edge, a man in white clothes near the gate, and two figures in saffron-orange robes near the porch. A grey vehicle is parked at the left, and palm and leafy trees surround the building under a partly cloudy sky.

Outdoor courtyard scene in front of a pink building with a doorway decorated with a yellow and white flower garland and banana plants. A long-haired figure with bare upper body wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and a red-beaded rudraksha mala stands centre, palms pressed together in greeting, facing an elderly bearded man in orange robes. Around them, several monks in saffron-orange robes and devotees in white dhotis stand on a floor with colourful rangoli kolam patterns. A man in white with an orange shawl stands at right, and a man in orange with a shaved head is at the far right. A bright sunlit setting with a banana leaf plant and a green gate at left.

A photograph of a procession leaving a gated compound through a green iron gate. In front, a figure in orange saffron robes with long dark hair and a white flower garland walks barefoot. Behind, several men in white dhotis and shirts follow, one carrying a small bundle and another holding a framed picture. A saffron flag with a black emblem flies on a pole near the gate. The two-storey cream building has a sloped roof, and a white block wall lines the right side. Probable Swamiji is the saffron-robed figure at the front, as the page indicates his presence and the figure shows long hair, saffron clothing and a garland. Five or so people are visible.

Outdoor scene at a pink ashram building with a decorated doorway of orange and yellow garlands. A long-haired figure in a saffron robe with a rudraksha mala stands at left, facing a white-haired sannyasi in an orange shawl and a monk in a light peach robe and orange turban on the right, while another saffron-clad monk stands behind. Coconut palms, banana plants, potted plants, a parked white vehicle and strings of orange flags fill the background, and a few people in white clothes are visible near the entrance. The long-haired figure in saffron with a mala matches the a person appearance cues, so the identification is probable.

A group of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees walks through an ornate red-and-gold wrought-iron gateway onto a striped pink-and-white tiled path at a temple compound. In the foreground an older bearded sadhu in orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks toward the camera. Behind him, younger monks in orange with beaded garlands and a man in white kurta with an orange shawl lead the group; a woman in white sari and a woman in orange also walk through. A white van is parked inside the gate, a gopuram tower rises beyond a long whitewashed wall, and a bicycle leans at the right edge.

A photograph of two men walking outdoors in front of a traditional building with terracotta tiled roofs and cream walls with dark wooden pillars. On the right, a man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a gold necklace with a large pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead; he is Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace. On the left, an older man in a pink short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti walks beside him. Behind them, another person in white and orange stands in a doorway. Yellow flowers and green foliage frame the scene.

Outdoor photo of a dirt path beside a white building with orange trim and a small red-orange flowerpot at its entrance. On the left, several men in white ritual clothes stand in a group; the foremost man holds a long pole topped with a red-and-orange flag. Further back, a man in an orange robe walks along the path toward a black iron gate, with another orange-robed figure beyond it near the gate. Trees, low shrubs, utility poles and overhead wires fill the background under an overcast sky.
