Photograph of a crowded procession moving through a stone temple corridor at night, lit by warm lamps and a glowing shrine on the upper right. A central man in a red-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white headband holds his hands in anjali, walking beside a man in saffron holding a tall silver staff garlanded with flowers. Around them devotees in white dhotis and saffron shawls, women in white saris and a woman in a maroon sari with a yellow shawl, many with folded hands. A man in a white shirt stands on a pillar base at left. The white pillars and walls frame the crowd.

Photograph of a procession moving through a temple doorway, with a crowd of devotees behind. In the centre, a bare-chested elderly priest with white forehead marks and a red-and-gold saffron cloth, a red headband and rudraksha mala walks forward holding a ceremonial object. Beside him, a man in saffron dress with a heavy gold necklace and white tripundra marks walks alongside. On the left, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala. Women in saffron and green saris and men in white shirts follow. Stone temple architecture frames the entrance, with a deity visible in the background.

A photograph of a crowded temple procession inside a dimly lit temple corridor with stone pillars and iron railings. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-orange dhoti and a red-orange shawl, wearing a large gold necklace with a pendant, a rudraksha-style mala and gold armbands, walks with his hands folded in front of him. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and orange clothing, with a devotee role. Around him, shaved-headed men in white dhotis with gold borders and orange shawls walk alongside, one holding a striped cloth, while many devotees in white and orange clothes press forward, some with palms joined. A decorated shrine with garlands, banana plants and orange and yellow hangings stands in the background.

A photograph inside a dim temple corridor with a bright doorway ahead. In the centre, a bare-chested, bearded sadhu in orange cloth walks with a devotee, both holding a small brass offering. Beside him, a man in a red-orange robe with a long red shawl, a large red-and-black rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace walks with his head covered; a flower garland hangs at his side. Around them, men in saffron robes carry a silver trident-topped staff, a woman in a blue and maroon sari with white flowers in her hair walks ahead, a man in a yellow top and white dhoti wears sacred thread beads, and people in white dhotis with red shawls follow. A man in a light grey shirt stands at right.

Night-time photograph of a crowded covered walkway with a dirt floor and bright overhead tube lights. In the foreground, a woman in white with dark hair and a man in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala walk past, while a man in a white dhoti and shirt and a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala walk toward the camera on the right. Behind them, many devotees in white and saffron-orange clothes move along the aisle, and a stone platform with a dark grey top stands in the background. The scene is blurred from motion.
