A photograph of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis in an open, partly built hall with brick walls and a concrete floor. In the foreground, a man with slicked-back hair, wearing a brown-gold shawl, a long gold-beaded necklace and a red tilak, points at his own forearm while speaking. Beside him an older man with white sandalwood markings on his forehead and a rudraksha mala holds his hands together in greeting. Behind them, a bearded man in orange with a red tilak and a beaded mala stands near a younger man in an orange turban holding a wooden staff. Another orange-clad man stands at right, and figures work in the background near tables and colourful decorations.

A night-time photo in an open, unfinished hall with a paved floor and concrete-block walls. On the right, an elderly bearded man in a saffron robe and red footwear gestures with raised hands while speaking, holding a short staff. Facing him, a man on the left with long dark hair, a shawl of gold-edged saffron and a long ceremonial gold-and-beaded garland listens. Beside him, a bald man in a rust-coloured robe with a rudraksha mala stands with hands clasped. Another man in a white dhoti and blue-beaded mala stands behind, and a bald man in saffron robes is partly visible at the left edge. Gilded ornamental furniture is visible at the right.

A group of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a covered colonnaded veranda beside a plain cream wall and a row of black metal chairs. In the foreground a man with a saffron turban, a dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak walks forward with a slight smile, holding a mala in one hand. Behind him an elder with a shaved head wears a long orange robe and sandals, while a bearded sadhu on the left wears a gold pendant necklace and an orange robe. Several other men in orange and white dhotis follow along the walkway, and a green banana plant and a red-framed sign appear at the left edge.

Five men stand on a paved floor inside a dim, open-sided shed with cinder-block walls, a corrugated roof, a black water tank and metal fixtures. On the far right, an elderly man with a long white beard and flowing orange robes gestures toward the upper left with one arm while holding a small object. Beside him, a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a rudraksha mala smiles with his hands folded. Further left, a man in a rust-brown silk garment with gold trim and a long beaded necklace looks on. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders wears a beaded mala, and another bald man stands partly visible at the back. Rudimentary tools and a bundle of cloth rest against the wall.

A young man in an orange robe with a maroon border raises his hand in greeting toward an older bald man in a saffron shawl, who stands with hands clasped beside a bald man in orange robes on the right. Several men in white and yellow shawls stand to the left, and a gilded, jewelled decorative panel with coloured garlands hangs on the wall behind them.
