Outdoor photo beside a dark grey SUV at an open field. A man in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange robe wears a long rudraksha mala with large gold-coloured beads and smiles while standing at the open car door. Behind him a bald man in orange robes with a white forehead marking and rudraksha beads stands near a second vehicle. On the right a young man in an orange-gold garment with a white forehead marking and rudraksha beads holds a brass plate of red flower garlands and white flowers with green leaves, and a microphone is held close to the right edge of the frame. A dark-clothed photographer's hand is visible at the bottom right.

A smiling man in a red-orange turban and matching red-orange wrap stands outdoors, wearing a thick marigold and white jasmine garland and a gold-toned pendant. A sandalwood or vibhuti mark sits on his forehead. Beside him, a bald man in white-and-gold ceremonial dress wears a long rudraksha mala and holds a staff with a serpent-like carving, and a third man in saffron-toned robes with a white beard stands at right. A white van is parked behind them against a brick wall. Four people are visible, and the scene reads as a devotee procession in Varanasi.

A photograph of a smiling man in a rust-orange and gold dhoti-style garment stepping out beside a white car, wearing a long red and white flower garland, a gold ornate necklace with rudraksha beads, gold armlets and a white tilak on his forehead. Several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand around him. A man in white clothes and an orange shawl holds a brass plate with a kalasha-style pot topped with a coconut and flowers, and a devotee in white bends forward to greet him with folded hands. The setting is a courtyard with yellow walls and palms. The man at the centre has long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments, which is a probable appearance-based match for a person being received with pada puja honours; the printed caption on the image is copyright only.

A photograph of a ceremonial arrival at an ashram courtyard beside a white car. A central man in a rust-brown robe wears a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, rudraksha beads and a red thread on his wrist, and holds a tray of red, white and yellow roses. Around him, young attendants in orange robes and orange turbans, with rudraksha malas and white sandalwood markings on their arms, stand near him; one holds a tall gold-tipped staff. A figure in green and gold, with a brass or silver tray of flowers, sits near the car door. Corrugated roofing and palm trees are in the background.

Outdoors at a festive temple-type setting decorated with marigold and flower garlands. In the foreground, a smiling person in a rust-red turban, gold earrings, a dark rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with bare shoulders and orange-saffron cloth, looks to the right. Beside them, a bald man in glasses, a red-brown rudraksha mala and a gold necklace smiles, and a woman in glasses stands further right. Pink, red and blue flower garlands and a large marigold garland appear behind, with a white canopy overhead.
