A man with long, swept-back dark hair stands in a red silk draped garment with gold border, wearing a long dark rudraksha mala across his chest and holding the beads at his waist. A red kumkum dot and white tilak mark his forehead. He walks barefoot beside a bronze deity murti with multiple arms and a crown, which is draped in yellow cloth. Behind him, people in white and a figure in red stand under a covered courtyard with stone statues and trees. Swamiji (probable): long hair, red robe with gold border, and rudraksha mala cues are distinctive.

Outdoor temple courtyard with palm trees and green foliage. In the centre, a barefoot man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, walking across a tiled area beside a red-and-white painted border. Behind him, men in white dhoti and shawls walk among small rows of ash-covered fire pits on the sand. Garlanded stone deity murtis and a Nandi-like bull stand in the background near an orange shrine structure with a tall kalasha, and a bald attendant in white dhoti stands at right.

A photo at an open-air ashram courtyard with palm trees and orange-walled buildings behind. In the foreground a young man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala, walking with eyes lowered toward a doorway. A shaved-headed man in orange on the left and several men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow behind. Other white-clad devotees stand in the background near fire pits or ritual platforms with ash. A dark stone statue stands by the doorway, and a black speaker sits beside the steps.
