A procession inside a large covered hall with striped multicoloured rugs on the floor. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron robe with a red-orange rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark walks beside a man in a maroon-brown robe with a red-orange headcloth, a gold-coloured garland and gold waist bands. Another man in maroon with gold bands and a gold garland walks behind, a white forehead mark on his head. On the left, men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk with a man in a grey-striped shirt holding papers. Women in white and orange saris stand along the sides, and a gilded throne-like seat with a golden canopy and a golden urn-style seat stands at the right edge. Garlands and a shrine with figures are visible in the background.

A barefoot procession moves through a dim temple corridor at night. A central man wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a long gold-beaded necklace, gold armbands, and a red tilak on his forehead; he appears to be the focus of the group. Around him, men in saffron robes wear rudraksha malas, and a man in a white kurta carries a tall ceremonial staff topped with an ornament. Others in white dhotis and light shirts walk alongside, some with rudraksha beads and tilak marks, while a man in a teal shirt with a mala follows at right. The stone floor and pillars suggest a temple interior.

Photograph inside a temple hall with carved stone pillars, showing a procession of saffron-robed men and devotees. In the centre, a bald elderly sannyasi in an orange robe with gold borders wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and his hands are held by two men. On the left, a man in saffron clothing with a long white jasmine garland, gold necklaces and a red-beaded headband gestures with an open palm. On the right, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with red border and a green-and-yellow waist cloth holds the elder's hand. Several white-clad and orange-clad attendants and women in saris stand behind them. The man with the garland shows the wearing of a large ceremonial gold necklace and a long flowing shawl, consistent with the a person cues, though his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

Photograph of a group of saffron- and maroon-robed men walking out through a doorway of a temple at night, with a teal-painted wall and a lit light fixture above. The man at centre wears an orange dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala, and a white tilak on his forehead, with a light-coloured cloth over one shoulder. Figures on either side wear maroon robes with gold borders, gold-trimmed shawls and garlands, and white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Several other men in orange and white garments stand behind them, one bare-chested with a white dhoti. Stone pillars frame the entrance.

A photograph of a procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses. A central figure walks barefoot along a red carpet, wearing saffron-orange robes with gold borders, a matching saffron shawl, a red-and-orange flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a forehead bindi. Robed devotees in saffron and orange line both sides, several wearing gold necklaces, bindi and white forehead marks, and two women in white saris with red borders stand among them. Pillars and a framed wall display are visible at the right. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the central figure, judged from his long hair, garland, saffron robes and mala; the identification is appearance-based and uncertain.

A procession moves down a red carpet inside a white tented pavilion. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead wears a rust-red drape over his shoulders and clasps hands with a companion. Beside them, a young attendant in saffron-orange robes and a beaded necklace carries a wooden box, while another attendant holds a tall silver staff. A man in a white dhoti with gold borders and a gold necklace walks at the left, and devotees in white line both sides with hands folded in anjali.
