A photograph taken outdoors on a dirt path lined with palm trees, potted plants and strings of orange and red pennant flags. In the foreground a man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, walks with palms pressed together in anjali. Beside him a bearded man in white dhoti and white kurta wears an orange shawl and holds an orange cloth or fruit in his hand. Behind them a man in white with an orange shawl and a cameraman in white carrying a camera follow, with several other people in white clothes and a red-and-white striped tent visible in the background.

Outdoor procession on a reddish dirt path with grass patches. At the centre, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala walks smiling, a candidate for Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues. Around him, men in white kurtas and white dhotis wear red-and-gold shawls and lanyard badges. One man in white holds a brass vessel with green leaves on a red tray, while another carries a round blue-and-orange ceremonial fan. A man at right grips a tall blue pole. Behind them stand more people and orange flags on white poles.

A tall, bearded elder in orange robes with a green-edged shawl walks at left. In the centre, a man in a red-orange robe and matching red-orange turban leans on a wooden walking stick. Beside him, a figure in orange robes and an orange headwrap walks barefoot. Men in white dhotis and white shirts with orange scarves, some carrying ceremonial staffs, follow behind. Six or more people are visible. A decorative striped pole stands at right. Some figures are partly cropped.

Outdoor photograph on a dirt path lined with palm trees, potted plants and a strand of orange and red pennant bunting. In the centre, a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange wrap and a rudraksha mala, palms pressed together in greeting and smiling. Beside him, a bearded man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds an orange cloth in one hand, and a younger man in white with an orange shawl walks with hands joined. Behind them, a man in white kurta stands by the path and a crowd of people watches in the background.

A photograph of an outdoor scene under a thatched shelter beside a white building. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe with an orange head wrap and a red tilak walks forward, with long dark hair visible at the shoulder, while attendants in white dhotis and orange shawls follow around him. A man in a white shirt and dhoti stands on the left near a cameraman filming with a video camera. Several other men in white or white-and-orange clothing walk and stand nearby under trees. Swamiji (probable): the central figure in saffron robes, orange head wrap, long hair and tilak fits the candidate's presentation, with the ceremonial orange shawls and attendants indicating a role of honour.

Outdoor photograph on a dusty dirt path beside green, purple and navy tarpaulin screens with trees behind. A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment, a sash over the shoulder and a thick ceremonial garland of gold-coloured beads, and gestures with one hand while walking forward. Around him, several men in white dhotis and orange or red shawls walk alongside, one in a yellow shawl holding a rudraksha mala, another in a white shirt and dark trousers, and a shaved-headed man in white with a mala. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in orange with long hair, gold garland and gesturing hand, based on his distinctive hair, saffron clothing and ornate garland.
