A group walks along a stone temple corridor with carved pillars and a painted ceiling of circular floral medallions, with a mural-lined wall of framed deity paintings on the right. In front, a bearded man with glasses wears a saffron robe and a wrist watch and gestures while speaking; a younger man in a saffron robe walks beside him. Behind them a woman in a saffron robe looks upward, and a bare-chested man in a yellow dhoti with a purple sash walks barefoot. A man in a light shirt and white dhoti walks at left, and others in white and orange follow along the corridor.

Photograph inside a colourfully painted temple corridor with a multicoloured ceiling of concentric circles and painted deity panels along the wall. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe stands centre with hands pressed together in greeting, a rudraksha-style bead necklace visible; the figure is a Swamiji (probable) candidate based on the long hair, saffron robe and greeting posture. Around him, a white-clad elderly man raises a hand in greeting, a bearded man in orange robes stands at left, and a bare-chested man with a purple-and-gold cloth at his waist walks beside a man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Several white-clad and orange-clad attendees follow in the background, with a camera operator at right.

Photograph of people walking barefoot along a stone-pillared temple corridor with a painted, multicoloured ceiling. In the centre, a man wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a gold-beaded necklace and a long rudraksha-style mala, with a tilak on his forehead and swept-back hair, walks at the front of the group. Beside him on the left, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a white top, and a woman in orange. Behind them, men in white and pink shirts, and a woman in teal. A man in a white shirt with a pendant walks in the foreground, and a uniformed officer stands at the right edge. A stone carved sculpture of a figure is visible at top right. The central man has distinctive saffron and ornate-necklace cues, so he is labelled as a probable Swamiji candidate in person.

A photograph inside a temple corridor with painted ceiling panels and carved stone pillars. A man in the centre wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a gold yellow border, a long beaded necklace and a large gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead; he walks forward smiling. Two men flank him in saffron robes with beaded malas, one shaved-headed and one bald with glasses. A man on the right in white kurta holds a bundle of cloth and wears a rudraksha mala, and a man on the left in a striped polo shirt stands near a wooden booth. Several devotees in the background gaze toward the group.

A photograph inside an ornately decorated temple corridor with painted ceilings, carved stone pillars and flower garlands hanging from the columns. A procession moves forward through the hall. At centre, a man in an orange-red robe wears a long white and pink flower garland and holds his hands together in a greeting, flanked by saffron-robed attendants and devotees. On the left, a bare-chested man in a red and white dhoti carries a brass plate of offerings, and a white-clad priest with an orange shawl walks in front. Onlookers in white shirts stand along the sides. Several people are in motion, with a blurred foreground.
