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 of four men walking through a narrow corridor with pale green walls and a pink metal door behind them. The man at centre wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body, a black and white beaded mala, and a white horizontal tilak on his forehead; he has swept-back grey hair and his hand is raised toward the others. Beside him on the right, a man with a shaved head wears a red-and-gold dhoti, a red-brown garland and gold-coloured ceremonial necklace. On the left, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a red-brown garland stands beside a red-and-orange shoulder bag. Behind them a man in a red turban and gold-accented saffron cloth wears a gold pendant on a beaded chain. Appearance cues for the central figure are moderate: orange cloth, beaded mala and swept-back hair, though the page identifies the event and no printed name appears.

Procession through a temple corridor with yellow walls and a dark tiled floor, sunlight falling through an archway. A saffron-clad man with rudraksha malas, a gold pendant and a sacred ash/kumkum mark leads, flanked by sannyasis in orange robes with gold borders. Behind them, a man holds a long ceremonial umbrella above, and another carries a flaming lamp on a long handle. Men in white dhotis and a man in an orange lungi and red vest walk alongside, with more people behind in the passage.
