Night photograph of a procession on a concrete path between a red-and-white painted wall and foliage. In front, a man in saffron-orange robes with an orange head wrap and long swept-back hair walks barefoot with hands folded at his chest; the appearance-based candidate for a person carries distinctive saffron clothing and long hair. Behind him walk several men in white dhotis and shirts, a bare-chested man in a red dhoti with a rudraksha mala, and others in the dark. On the left, a framed portrait on a board shows a smiling figure in a white head covering. Figures are dim and partly obscured.

Night procession scene. A smiling man in saffron-orange robe with a long dark rudraksha mala and a red bindi stands centre, one hand on his chest, beside a tall wooden pole carried by a bare-chested man in white dhoti. Around them, a woman in pink and a man in orange hooded top stand on the sides, and an older woman in white clothes holds her palms together in anjali. Flowers in yellow and pink appear in the foreground. Dark background with metal railings behind the crowd.

Night photograph of a procession along a narrow lane lined with stone walls and strings of lights, leading toward a lit temple gopuram. In the centre, a person with long dark hair wearing an orange-red robe, gold beaded necklaces and an orange shawl walks with palms pressed together in greeting. Around them, men in white kurtas and dhotis wear orange shawls, one with a pink rosette pinned to the chest. Onlookers and devotees crowd the edges of the lane. The central figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and ornate gold necklaces, consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown in person in procession.

Behind them, several men in white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing identification badges, follow, and further back a woman in a sari and other figures stand in the dark.

Night procession at a temple, lit by a flaming torch and warm lamps on an ornate, brightly decorated chariot-style shrine at right. Around him, devotees in white and pink clothes raise their hands in joyful chant; a woman in a gold-patterned sari and a woman in an orange shawl walk beside. A smiling man in an orange robe stands at right foreground. A saffron triangular flag on a pole rises behind the group.
