Night procession at a temple courtyard. A smiling young man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long white and red flower garland, walks forward between umbrella-bearers. Behind him, men in orange robes and white-clad attendants carry multicoloured embroidered umbrellas, one with a blue dove emblem. A woman in white holds a brass tray with fruit and offerings. Oil lamps line the path and a lit stone structure with a deity murti stands in the background. Several spectators watch from the left.

Night procession at a temple-style venue lit dimly, with a decorated red, yellow and green umbrella held overhead and painted pillars with bird motifs at the sides. A man in the centre wears an orange robe and a long white flower garland with a red garland, walking forward. Beside him, a person in orange carries a silver kalasha pot with green leaves on top. Two more people in orange robes follow at right, and a figure in white stands at left with a blurred white-clad person in the foreground. Other people in orange and white move along the path.

Night procession at a temple with a ceremonial palanquin-like ratha behind the crowd. In the foreground, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace of ornaments wears saffron-orange robes with a gold border and smiles while walking. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala and gold beaded necklace walks forward. Behind them, many people in white dhotis and white shirts walk in procession, some with hands folded, and a woman in a teal sari stands at left. The ornate canopy above the palanquin has red, green and gold floral decoration, and tall festival poles with coloured streamers frame the scene. The foreground man's cues (long hair, saffron clothing, ornate beaded necklace) match the a person description, though the identification is uncertain.

Night procession on a dirt path under a dark sky. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red forehead mark wears an orange saffron wrap with gold border and a long gold bead necklace, walking in orange sandals. Beside him a shaved-headed man in glasses wears a similar orange robe with maroon border and gold beads. Behind them devotees in white and cream attire follow, and a ceremonial umbrella with red, yellow and green fringe is held on a long pole at left. Trees stand in the background.

Night procession on a dirt path with a red and multicoloured tasselled umbrella overhead. A tall figure with long swept-back dark hair, an orange turban, orange robe and a long rudraksha mala walks at centre-right, a person by appearance, with several cues present. A bald elderly man in a plain saffron wrap is held by the arm, and a saffron-robed man with gold chains walks at the front left. Attendants in white dhotis and orange shawls, one holding a red umbrella pole, flank the group, and a trident is visible among the crowd. A white flower garland is at the lower left edge.

Outdoor photo of a procession walking along a pale concrete path beside a red metal railing and a tree. In front, a man in saffron-orange robes with a brown shawl and a rudraksha mala walks at the left. At centre, a long-haired figure in orange robes wears a white and orange flower garland and a gold necklace and carries a leopard-print cloth over the arm. Behind him an ornate multicoloured parasol with fringe and a gold staff are carried, and a man in white with a yellow scarf follows. On the right, a bearded man in orange robes with a red-bordered dhoti walks. Swamiji (probable): the centre figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a gold necklace and a floral garland, consistent with the page's claim, so this is an in_person appearance-based candidate. A bell hangs at the top left.
