Outdoor photo on a brick-paved path beside a temple wall with carved stone pillars and ornate gopuram-style towers behind. A man with long swept-back dark hair, white and red forehead markings, rudraksha malas and a large ceremonial pendant stands centrally in orange saffron robes with gold borders, holding a folded newspaper and reading it while walking barefoot. Around him, shaved-headed men in orange robes with rudraksha malas walk with him, one holding a white mobile phone, another wearing a surgical mask and a white-and-gold dhoti follower behind. A uniformed police officer stands in the background among devotees in white.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair walks barefoot along a brick-paved temple path in saffron-orange clothing with a gold-bordered dhoti and shawl. He wears a white-and-red forehead marking, long rudraksha mala strands, a ceremonial gold necklace, and a small red dot. He is reading a folded newspaper in both hands. Around him, several men in matching orange robes and rudraksha malas walk alongside, some wearing face masks, and uniformed police stand nearby. Weathered stone temple walls and domed shrine towers stand behind them under a bright sky.

A photograph of a barefoot procession walking along a dirt path lined with a rope-and-stick fence toward a golden arched gateway framing a black ganesha murti. In front, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style cloth, multiple strands of rudraksha beads across his chest and gold bangles, and a green parrot perches on his shoulder. Beside him, a bald man in a red-orange cloth with a gold border and a gold-beaded necklace carries a small orange object. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white dhotis with white forehead markings follow, and a woman in a white sari with gold border holding a garland stands at the left. Trees and foliage fill the background.

Photograph of a procession on a matted walkway over bare earth, with golden arches and green trees behind. A central man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap, a white and turquoise flower garland, a rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold ornaments, and a red bindi; he walks with eyes lowered and hands folded at his chest. The figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance-based cues: long hair, layered rudraksha and gold necklaces, and saffron clothing. Flanking him are two shaved-headed men in orange wraps with gold beaded necklaces, barefoot, one with a white forehead mark. Behind them, men in white dhotis and orange-clad followers walk among onlookers.

A long-haired man in an orange saffron cloth with gold-edged borders wears layered rudraksha and bead malas, a white pendant and bangles, and a sandalwood-coloured waist belt, walking barefoot near the centre. Beside him an older bald man in saffron, with a gold pendant and a rudraksha mala, walks with a sannyasi in orange dhoti. Behind them an orange umbrella is held aloft by a man in white dhoti, and devotees in saffron and white walk with them.

A long-haired man in a loose red-orange wrap, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace and a red bindi with white forehead marks, smiles and looks to the side, his hand resting on his chest.

Behind them, a crowd includes a man in white and people in yellow and white. Two stone bull statues sit on the roofline in the background.
