A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes walks outdoors on a dirt path, wearing a white and yellow flower garland and a red-and-orange garland, with his hands loosely held and a saffron cloth over one arm. Beside him, men in white shirts and white dhotis walk with one older man in white carrying a shawl, and a man in orange robes with a wristwatch walks at right. A poster with a portrait and Tamil text stands on a stand at left, a motorcycle is parked behind a blue sign, and a building with trees forms the background.

A procession walks along a dirt road lined with trees and potted plants under bright daylight. In the centre, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala wears a garland of marigolds and carries an offering tray, flanked by orange-robed sadhus and men in white shirts and dhotis. A large empty billboard stands behind the trees and a parked car sits to the left. Several figures in white and saffron walk together, some carrying items. The visible cues of the central figure (long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, garland) are distinctive, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path beneath large shade trees. In the centre, a young man in a saffron-orange robe and orange shawl wears a long white and pink flower garland and walks with hands joined. Around him, men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk barefoot; the man at right carries a long staff with an orange cloth. A woman in a white sari with an orange border stands at far right. Flowering shrubs line the path at left. a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the central figure is described by role only as a garlanded devotee in saffron robes.

A central figure in saffron-orange robes wears an orange turban and a long flower garland of white and yellow blossoms, walking barefoot along a path. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis walk alongside; one wears an orange shawl, and another in a white shirt and dhoti stands at the right. Orange and white flags fly from poles overhead. The central figure shows the appearance of a probable Swamiji candidate: orange turban, saffron robes and a garland, with long hair visible, and the page indicates he is present at this event.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path with a striped festival canopy and bunting overhead. A central man with long dark hair and a painted forehead wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a thick garland of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers, smiling and raising both palms in greeting. Around him, men in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas and white-clad devotees in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls walk alongside, some with hands folded. Banana plants, a parked white vehicle and a hoarding with portrait photographs stand behind the crowd.

A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a multicolour and white flower garland, with a rudraksha mala, walks centre-front, drawing the procession forward. Beside them a man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a tall golden staff, and another white-clad man with an orange shawl on the right carries a golden trident-topped staff. Behind, devotees in white with orange shawls, one wearing a leopard-print dress, and a woman holding a peacock-feather fan with a red emblem follow. An older man in white at far right holds his hands in anjali. a person stands centre in orange robes, garland and mala, consistent with a ceremonial procession.

A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair, a white tilak, and an orange-bead mala walks barefoot with hands held together in front. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts walk, many with shaved heads and white or cream attire. A bare-chested man in a yellow dhoti with a red sash and red beads walks nearby. A young boy in a yellow shirt and dark trousers walks among the group. An older woman in a white sari stands at the right edge. Incense smoke rises at the upper left. The centre figure fits the appearance-based candidate, with long swept hair, saffron robe and bead mala, so the label is a person.
