Inside a marble-floored temple hall with ornate golden arches and carved wooden doors, a bearded man in saffron-orange and rust-red robes walks forward wearing white and pink flower garlands and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, several men in rust-red and maroon dhotis and shawls, some wearing garlands, walk through the hall. A worshipper in white clothes stands at the right edge beside brass railings. The bearded man has long swept-back hair and a distinctive orange shawl over his robe, a cue consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure, while the surrounding men are devotees and sannyasis.

Behind him, a bald man in a matching orange robe with gold trim and a dark rudraksha mala walks alongside holding a white phone. Around them a crowd stands in orange, red and yellow clothing, several with hands pressed together in greeting, and many with lanyards.

A night procession moves through a temple corridor with bright lights and a crowd behind.
