A procession moves through an ornate temple corridor with gold-and-white pillars and a decorated ceiling. At centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, a yellow and white marigold garland and a gold-toned beaded necklace walks under a red, black and gold ceremonial umbrella with tassels; the figure has distinctive long hair and ceremonial adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate. To the left, a bare-chested elderly man with a long white beard wears only a white loincloth. Men in white shirts and dhotis walk behind, and at the lower right a musician in white plays a long wind instrument. A dome and temple structures are visible through the arches.

A procession moves through a temple hall with polished reddish-brown floors and blue-grey pillars decorated with gold relief. A large ornate umbrella with red, black and multicoloured tassels is carried overhead. A bare-chested elderly man with a long white beard, wearing only a white dhoti, walks at the centre. Beside him a person in a saffron-orange robe wears a fresh yellow and white flower garland. Men in white dhotis and shirts follow, and at right musicians play a long wind instrument and a drum. Yellow and blue signboards and a painted deity panel appear on the wall above.

Indoor photo of a procession walking across a polished marble floor inside a temple-style hall with white pillars and ornate painted borders. At the centre, an older bearded man with white hair wears an orange-saffron cloth and walks barefoot, and beside him a figure in orange-saffron robes with a rudraksha mala walks forward. Around them, men in white dhotis wear yellow shawls, and women in white saris with orange borders walk alongside. A uniformed guard stands at the left edge near a brass railing, and a man in a striped shirt and light trousers carries a folded red cloth at the right. Framed notices hang on the wall behind the group.

Temple procession inside a stone-pillared hall. A bare-chested man with a white-and-red vertical tilak and a rudraksha mala wears a white dhoti with a red-bordered cloth. In the centre, a figure in long saffron-orange robes, hands folded in namaskar, has long dark hair swept back, a distinctive appearance matching the page's a person reference; this is an appearance-based probable candidate. Beside him, another saffron-robed man walks. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks ahead, and on the right a man in grey kurta and white dhoti plays a long wind instrument (nadaswaram) with a flared bell, a garland hanging from it. Two other men in white and saffron appear in the background, along with a woman in a red sari at the right edge.

A crowded procession moves through a pillared temple corridor, with an orange-robed figure in the centre holding hands folded in front of the chest in greeting. The figure wears a saffron robe, a long rudraksha-style bead necklace with ornate gold-toned pendant, and has a tilak mark on the forehead; long swept-back hair is visible. Around the figure, devotees in orange shawls and white dhotis press close, a woman in a white sari with red floral border wears jasmine flowers in her hair, and a man in a yellow shirt has sacred ash marks on his forehead. In the foreground, a man in white holds a long metal ceremonial horn-like instrument. Above the crowd, a decorated umbrella with a red and gold canopy is carried in the procession, and temple pillars line the background.

A photo inside a stone-pillared temple hall with a sandy floor and lattice windows. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head cloth, wearing a long garland of yellow-orange flowers, walks forward with hands folded, apparently in a procession. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with orange shawls and neck pendants, walk alongside; a shirtless man in a white loincloth with a sacred thread and tilak walks in front. A drummer with a large drum appears at the left edge. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, a probable identification based on saffron clothing, orange head cloth and garland, though that cannot be confirmed. Several people are visible, and a striped mat lies on the floor.

A procession inside a covered hall with a concrete floor and a mat runner. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe and a long red-and-white flower garland with a red bead necklace, walking beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy umbrella held on a pole by an attendant. Around him, orange-robed men with beards and long hair walk barefoot, and a white-clad attendant in a yellow shawl holds a long metal staff at left. At right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti carries a large drum. Photographs and framed prints line the walls, and the ceiling is corrugated metal with fluorescent lights.

A procession moves through a stone temple corridor with white carved pillars and a painted ceiling. In front, a man in orange robes holds a tall ceremonial staff with a trident top and a flower garland. Behind him, a man in red-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a smiling expression walks centrally, flanked by a barefoot man in white dhoti holding a pink cloth and several men in orange and saffron robes. Women in white and yellow-and-red saris and devotees in yellow and white follow along the corridor toward a doorway.
