Outdoor photograph on a dusty unpaved road at dusk, with parked cars and low buildings in the background. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and sandals, and gestures with one hand while walking. Two uniformed police officers in khaki shirts and trousers with belts walk beside them. On the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a gold border stands near a car, and a man in white dhoti and kurta with a tilak stands behind. Several onlookers stand at the right edge. a person is shown in appearance-based terms only: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, with the page indicating a procession.

Dusk photograph of a concrete-block walkway between a cinder-block wall and a stone-and-block pillar. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe and sandals walks at left beside a uniformed police officer in khaki with a belt, while a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl walks at right. Behind them, a dark striped and white-patterned cloth draping stands near tented shade, with several people in white and colourful saris and dhotis gathered in the background. The orange-robed figure shows distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, but appearance is not strong enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a sannyasi-robed man.

Behind them, sannyasis in saffron robes and devotees in white dhotis follow. On the right, a uniformed police officer in khaki with a red belt walks alongside. Vans and a golden temple structure appear in the background under street lights.

A photograph of a group walking outdoors past a temple entrance with white and red striped walls and an ornate gateway. In the centre, a man wearing an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, a crown-like headband and a long rudraksha mala walks smiling with his hand raised. Beside him, two other saffron-robed sannyasis, one shaved-headed, also wear rudraksha malas. Uniformed police officers in khaki surround the group, and white-shirted men walk nearby. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the central figure in saffron, marked by the crown-like headband, long rudraksha mala and saffron robes, with the surrounding saffron-robed attendants and khaki-uniformed police escort.
