Outdoor street procession in daylight. A smiling man in an orange saffron shawl and matching orange turban, with a red tilak on his forehead and a heavy gold beaded necklace, stands at centre. Behind him a purple and gold canopy with red tassels shades the procession. A man in white robes on the left holds a tall wooden staff with a flag, a woman in white with grey hair and a red bindi stands nearby, and other people in white clothes move alongside. A green truck and a canvas-covered lorry are visible in the background, and a peacock-feather fan appears at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the central figure's orange turban, saffron shawl, gold necklace and ceremonial procession setting match the cues for a probable identification.

Outdoor procession on a paved road with tall trees behind. In the foreground a man in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair and a dark rudraksha mala walks forward, with a bearded man in white beside him. Behind, a row of orange and red flags on poles, a decorated wooden palanquin draped in cream cloth with yellow and marigold garlands, and several people in white kurtas and white dupattas carrying white flags with a blue bird emblem. A man in a white and orange t-shirt stands at right edge. Marchers and cars visible in the background.

A photograph of an outdoor procession in a mountainous setting. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron shawl over orange clothing and a heavy necklace of large gold beads, and carries a long wooden staff upright over his shoulder. Behind and around him, many people in orange and saffron clothing walk along the road; a woman in a peach-coloured cap, a man in dark sunglasses and a black jacket with an orange shawl, and an older woman in a grey top are visible. A man in a dark jacket holds a small camera. Hills, a white building with a balcony and a utility pole fill the background. Appearance cues suggest a person in a procession; the identification is uncertain.

At centre, a young man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban wears a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala, with hands folded in front. Beside him on the right, a man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands with a tilak on his forehead. Behind them white and blue flags on tall poles are raised, and a few onlookers stand at the edges. a person (appearance-based label) is the central figure, given orange turban, saffron robe, garland and rudraksha mala.

A man in a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap stands on a forest path, wearing a long rudraksha mala that hangs to his waist and a white towel draped over his left shoulder. His dark hair is swept back to his shoulders, and he holds a dark cane in his right hand. Behind him, a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, a woman in a white hat and floral blue top, and a white-haired man in a white shirt holding a black umbrella walk among dense green foliage. The Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas match the probable identity, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in this outdoor walking scene.

An outdoor photograph against a clear blue sky shows a central man in an orange-saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala draped over his chest, a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair. He looks forward while a hand holds up a red staff or flag pole above him. Around him stand several men: at left a man in a red shirt with a gold-beaded necklace and red tilak, next to a man in an orange striped polo; at right a shaved-headed man in orange robes with layered gold chains, and behind them men in white shirts and a bald man wearing glasses. Several people are close together in a crowd setting. The sun is bright and the scene appears to be a public gathering or procession.
