Night procession on a roadside in Tiruvannamalai. A large crowd of devotees walks along the road, most in white clothes with orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. In the centre, a bald man in a plain orange-saffron robe walks barefoot, while others around him wear white. A green signboard with Tamil text stands beneath a large tree, with roadside stalls and a parked motorcycle on the right. A woman in a white sari with a gold border walks at the far right.

Night photo of a crowd walking along a road in procession, most people wearing white clothes with orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. Several women in orange saris and men in white shirts and dhotis walk closely together. A roadside stall with bottles and cool drinks stands behind them under a tree, and a teal signboard with Tamil text is mounted on bamboo poles at the right. No central figure in saffron ornate dress is clearly visible, so no a person candidate is identified.

Night procession scene under a canopy decorated with red and yellow tassels. A smiling man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and a white flower garland, with a red bindi on his forehead, hands raised in greeting. Around him, a man in a red shirt with a vertical tilak mark, a man in white with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, and other devotees in white and orange clothing walk alongside. Behind them a banner with printed text and orange flags stands near a fan and a child in a striped yellow shirt. Several people are visible in the crowd.

A night photograph of a large devotee procession walking along a tree-lined road, lit by street lamps. Many people wear white clothing with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and some carry small bags or bottles. A man in a bright orange robe walks near the front, and a figure in a yellow sleeveless top stands in the foreground facing away. Roadside signboards with Tamil text stand to the right beside a tall pole. The scene reads as a Girivalam-style walk, with devotees in white and saffron-orange shawls moving together.

Night photograph at a temple entrance lit with string lights and a green Tamil signboard above. In the centre a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long gold-beaded necklace and a red forehead mark, walking forward with a smile. Around him men in white shirts and dhotis, several with orange shawls, walk alongside; one in the foreground holds a small pink-marked object. A uniformed police officer stands in the background near the gate. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron ornate clothing and a gold necklace, consistent with the page claim; he is shown in person in the procession.

Centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe and an orange turban walks smiling, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala around his neck, appearing to be a probable Swamiji.

Behind them a large banner shows a saffron-turbaned figure in orange robes against a green-blue backdrop, with a Tamil-language sign above it.
