A street procession in an Indian town, with a group of devotees in orange saffron clothing walking along a dusty road lined with shuttered shops, a tree and a parked bicycle. In the foreground a bare-chested man with long wavy dark hair and an orange wrap walks at the center, carrying a long pole with a fringed tassel canopy above. A man in an orange shirt with a rudraksha mala holds a red-and-white pole, and a woman in a white patterned kurta wearing a rudraksha mala walks at left. A girl in white with an orange shawl follows behind, and a bald man in an orange shirt and dark trousers stands at right. The scene reads as a yatra or procession of sannyasi-clad devotees.

Outdoor procession scene at a ratha paada yatra. A bare-chested man in the foreground on the left holds one end of a long orange-wrapped pole. An older bearded man in orange dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a white forehead-arm mark holds the pole in the centre. On the right, a long-haired figure wearing an orange robe and a dark beaded mala gestures with an outstretched hand toward the pole. Around them, men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, and saffron-robed devotees crowd the roadside under a pale sky with a utility pole behind.

Outdoor photograph of a procession on a rural road lined with green trees. In the right foreground a man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi, a gold necklace and rudraksha malas, wearing an orange shawl, walks beside an ornate red and gold canopy with tasselled fringe. Around him several people in orange shawls and orange tops walk, and a man in a white kurta and grey trousers stands further back. A woman on the far right smiles. Some pilgrims carry backpacks. A small brick building stands in the background. Swamiji (probable): the man with long hair and gold necklace matches the page's claim, with the long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and orange shawl as cues.

A photograph of a procession outdoors near a hillside town, with a man at centre-right wearing long swept-back black hair, an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders, a heavy gold multi-bead necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead. He holds a silver trident, and an orange-saffron shawl and grey sweater are visible on other men beside him. A bearded man in a white sweater and orange scarf stands to the left, with a woman in a dark headscarf and green jacket at the right edge. Metal scaffolding and buildings appear behind the crowd.

Outdoor photo on a dusty path beside a metal railing, with a tree providing shade and auto-rickshaws and people in the background. In the foreground, a figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a red undershirt, and a heavy necklace of gold beads and white crystal-like beads, walking in sandals. Beside and behind them, a man in a cream knit sweater over white clothes wears an orange shawl and a pendant, and others walk nearby, including a woman in a light headscarf and a man in a blue jacket. At left, a vendor sits near a display of small printed pamphlets or booklets laid out on a cloth. The long-haired figure with saffron robes and gold-bead garlands is a person candidate by appearance, though identity is uncertain.

Three men walk along a paved path lined with green trees and a low hedge, with a multi-storey building and a crowd dressed in white behind them under an overcast sky. The man in the centre wears a saffron-orange turban, saffron-orange wrap and sandals, with long dark hair falling past his shoulders and a smile. The man on the left has a beard and wears a saffron shawl over white clothes. The man on the right wears a white kurta with a saffron shawl and a rudraksha mala.

A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange turban and loose saffron-orange wrap walking along a dusty unpaved road beside a concrete wall and white buildings. He wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and holds a long wooden staff in one hand. Behind him, a second man in a white kurta and white dhoti with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala walks alongside. In the background, a few people stand near a rubble heap, and a woman in a purple sari is visible. The man in orange has long dark hair and rudraksha beads, and matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: a turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, shown in person.
