A group of people walks barefoot through a long, pillared stone corridor of a temple, with carved columns on both sides and iron railings to the right. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a white band across his forehead walks forward, and beside him a man in orange robes with a red sash holds a folded white paper. Behind them, several men and women in white dhotis, white shirts and orange or red sashes follow in procession. The floor is worn stone with dark stains, and the scene feels like a padayatra along a temple path.

A photograph inside a dimly lit stone temple corridor lined with carved pillars and fluorescent tube lights. In the foreground on the right, a figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a full beard walks away from the camera, with a dark pouch or bag hanging at his side; the cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a beard, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance-based candidate. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis walk in a line behind him toward a bright doorway at the far end, and a dark shape sits near the bottom edge.

A photograph of a group walking out of a stone temple gateway at dusk or night, with a green-lit passage ahead. Most men wear white dhotis and white shirts. One figure in the centre wears orange robes with an orange shawl, and a child in white with an orange cloth over the shoulder walks nearby. Carved stone pillars and walls frame the passage, and the stone floor is lit in blue tones. The scene shows a temple procession or devotional movement, with a person candidate in orange clothing, but the face and identity cannot be confirmed from the image.

A procession walks through a stone temple corridor lined with carved pillars. In the centre, a man in orange robes holds a tall silver trident (trishul) upright. Beside him, a woman in a dark patterned sari walks alongside a figure in a red-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace. Behind them, devotees in orange and saffron robes, a bare-chested man with a white shawl and white mundu, and attendants in yellow shawls and white dhotis follow. A drum is visible among the attendants on the left. The setting is a temple hall with barred windows overhead.

A photo at a temple doorway, with an ornate stone entrance and dark wooden doors with metal fittings. A bearded man with long dark hair and an orange dhoti-style wrap, bare-chested and wearing a gold armlet, walks at left looking toward the right. Center, a man in a bright red-orange wrap with a red hood and face painted with white markings wears a gold ceremonial necklace and a dark rudraksha mala, walking barefoot. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a red shawl, several men in orange robes and a few devotees follow through the doorway toward a lit inner sanctum with a golden grille.
