A photo taken at a narrow temple doorway, with grey-blue walls and a bright tube light visible through the inner passage. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks forward with his palms joined in anjali, his face turned slightly downward. Beside him, a second man in a saffron robe, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, carries a golden kalasha-shaped vessel and a maroon cloth bag. Behind them an older man in white clothes and another figure in saffron move through the doorway, and a gold-barred gate stands at right. Based on the appearance cues of the long swept-back hair and saffron dress, the first man is a probable Swamiji (probable) walking in procession; the figure carrying the golden vessel is an attendant or disciple.

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 bearded man in a maroon-brown robe walking barefoot through a carved dark wooden doorway set in a grey brick wall. He wears a long garland of white and pink flowers and a wooden-bead necklace, and a dark headpiece. Beside him, two young attendants in orange-saffron cloths stand at right; one holds a brass tray with fruit and a pink flower offering, and the other holds a long pole with a red-and-gold canopy top. The man is smiling and gesturing with one hand.

A photograph of four men walking in a procession through an indoor corridor with grey block walls, a gold-toned panel door at left and dark grey carpet underfoot. The man at left in orange robes holds a small gold kalasha-like vessel wrapped in a garland of white and red flowers, with a striped cloth draped over his shoulder. Behind him, a man in orange robes with a gold necklace holds his hands together in front. At far right, a smiling man with long dark hair and a red mark on his forehead wears an orange robe, hands clasped at his chest, walking forward. A fourth man in white is partly hidden behind them. The procession appears to be a ritual walk carrying a sacred vessel.

Several men in saffron-orange robes walk single file through a worn, yellowed stone corridor toward a doorway with a grey-blue wooden door and bright daylight beyond. The man in front, bare-chested under a dark red-orange wrap, wears a heavy gold necklace and rudraksha mala beads and carries nothing visible. A bearded man in orange robes and a pendant mala walks at lower left, and a man at upper left holds a tall silver staff while wearing a gold chain. Behind them a man in saffron with a red shawl carries a brass vessel, and a man in white holds a white cloth bundle. Dampness stains the walls and floor.
