A photograph of a colonnaded temple corridor with sunlight falling across stone pillars. A central man wears an orange saffron robe, a white upper cloth draped over one shoulder, a long pink and white flower garland, and a necklace of gold bells, with a tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. He walks forward with an attentive expression. To his left, a smiling bare-chested man wears a rudraksha mala and a patterned lungi with a red kumkum mark on his forehead. To the right, a shaven-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks alongside. Several other people stand in the background. Their appearance is consistent with a person figure in the centre, but the identification is uncertain.

Photograph of a procession through a lit temple corridor with carved pillars and painted deity panels. In the centre, a man with a swept-back hairstyle, white tripundra markings and an orange-saffron robe with gold trim wears a pink flower garland and a rudraksha mala, smiling as he walks. Beside him, an older bald man in orange robes with a pink garland and gold chain is also walking. Several men in orange robes, white dhotis with gold borders and white shirts follow, one holding a rudraksha mala, and a uniformed official stands at the right edge. A barred gate and a temple lamp are visible at the right.

A photograph of people walking through a temple corridor with carved stone pillars. In the centre, a man wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long garland of white flowers, pink blossoms and green leaves, and a heavy gold necklace; he has a red bindi and a tilak on his forehead. To his left, a man in a white dhoti with a gold border walks with bare chest. Behind and beside them, men in white shirts with rudraksha malas, one in an orange cloth, and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers walk close by. The centre figure has long hair? No: the central man has short hair and the left figure has swept-back hair. Carved, ornately sculpted pillars and a painted wall frame the scene. a person candidate: the centre man wears an orange garment, a flower garland and ornate gold necklace, but his appearance cues are not distinctive enough, so the identity is uncertain.

A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi walks through a temple corridor, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a long garland of white jasmine and pink and red flowers, with a gold ceremonial necklace over it. Behind him a bald older man with a white beard in orange robes walks alongside. On the left, a carved gold-painted pillar and a rope-bound wooden beam; overhead, strings of red, purple and white flower garlands. Workers in orange shirts and a man in white shirt appear in the background, with piled sand on the floor. A light-green cloth hangs on the wall. Appearance-based cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and garland) are consistent with a person as the central figure, though this is an appearance-based label only.

A photograph of a procession inside a temple corridor lit by hanging lights. A man in the centre wears an orange saffron shawl, long swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a long garland of white and pink flowers with green leaves, and gold armbands. Beside him on the left, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds his hands together in namaste. On the right, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a silver staff topped with a bird figure walks in the procession. Several other people in orange and white clothing follow behind in the crowd. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by his saffron robe, long hair, garland and rudraksha-style gold necklace, walking in a temple procession.
