Photograph inside a temple gateway with stone pillars and fluorescent lights. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe wears a long necklace of gold-yellow and purple flower garlands, a long dark swept-back hair and a white forehead mark, walking barefoot over a decorated floor. Behind him, a man in an orange robe with a shaved head and glasses and another in orange with a rudraksha-style necklace walk alongside. A man in a khaki uniform cap stands in the left foreground, while devotees in white dhotis and shirts press palms together or bow along the sides. A white-clad man in the foreground wears a yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala. The figure in the centre has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and garlands, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate walking in the procession.
