A photograph taken looking down a narrow whitewashed stairwell with red-painted steps strewn with yellow flower petals. A central figure in a maroon robe with an orange-red turban and a long garland of white and red flowers walks down the steps, one hand resting on the wall. Behind them a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a red shawl draped over his shoulder, follows, and another figure in orange clothing is visible further back. Light enters from an open doorway at the top with greenery visible outside.

A photograph of a narrow concrete stairwell in a building, with a group of people in procession moving up the steps. In the centre, a man in a rust-red robe with a deep orange shawl, a red turban and a long rudraksha mala raises one hand in greeting and smiles. Beside him walk other men in rust-red and saffron robes, one bald man in a saffron shawl with a beaded mala. Behind them a man in a white shirt wears a rudraksha mala. In the foreground a man in a white shirt with orange collar and a pendant on a dark beaded necklace looks toward the camera. Flower petals scattered on the steps, a potted palm on a ledge, and a pale blue wall with tiles at the top of the stairs. A devotee at left holds his palms together in greeting.

A photograph of people descending a staircase in a plain white-walled building with a large window and steel railings. A woman in front wears a maroon-and-orange-bordered sari with a gold-coloured bodice and a heavy gold necklace with a red-and-white garland, plus bangles and a bindi, and holds the steel railing. Beside her, a man in a plain white dhoti and shirt with a tilak on his forehead walks down looking at his steps. Behind them, a man in a white kurta and a second figure in brown clothing follow on the stairs.

A photograph taken from above of a staircase inside a plain white-walled building with peach-coloured metal railings and grey stone steps. A bald man in an orange saffron robe stands on the steps beside a woman with long dark wavy hair in an orange-red sari, while a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, holding a bundle of red and orange flowers, stands further up near a bright window. A fourth person in a white shirt is partly visible at the lower right edge. The scene suggests ashram or temple visitors moving through the building.

A photograph taken from a narrow whitewashed stairwell looking down a red-painted staircase scattered with yellow flower petals. A central figure in a red turban and maroon-and-gold garment wears a long white and green-red garland and walks down the steps. Behind him, a man in white shirt and dhoti and another figure in saffron follow, with a bright outdoor background of greenery beyond the doorway. Niches are set into the walls on both sides.

A photograph of a white-walled arched corridor with a staircase railing decorated with flower garlands in yellow, orange and white. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe wears a multicoloured flower garland and a gold pendant, with long dark hair and a sindoor mark on his forehead; he walks with his hands folded in front of him. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis-style lower garments accompany him: the man on the left wears a white shirt and grey trousers, a pendant and a red-and-gold shawl over one shoulder and holds a small object in one hand; the man on the right, grey-haired and moustached, wears an all-white outfit and walks beside the railing. The orange-robed figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, with saffron clothing, long hair and garland cues, but the identity is not certain from appearance alone.
