Outdoor photo of a procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walking on a concrete ground under open shelters. In the centre, a man in a deep orange-red turban and matching robes with gold border, wearing a thick gold-coloured beaded mala, walks forward smiling with hands at his sides. Behind him, a sannyasi in red and gold robes wears rudraksha malas and a gold mala, another carries a water bottle, and an attendant in white dhoti and shirt wears a garland. Several men in white shirts and a few children in colourful dresses watch from behind, with folding chairs and red decorations visible in the background.

A procession walks along a red carpet under a tented pavilion with tan and white draping and stacked chairs. In the foreground, a smiling man in a dark red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red turban, and a thick gold-beaded necklace walks forward, a red-and-gold cord visible at his waist. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas follow, along with men in white dhotis and red-orange shawls, and a few women in saffron saris and a child in the background. Tie colours to owners: the lead figure wears the turban and gold necklace; others wear plain white or saffron garments. Strong appearance cues on the lead figure (red turban, gold necklace, saffron-gold attire) are consistent with a person candidate in a ceremonial procession, though the image is not conclusive.

Outdoor procession scene at a temple-like courtyard with a red carpet. In the centre, a man in a rust-red and gold-bordered garment wears a red-orange turban and a heavy gold chain, holding a small orange-gold cloth bundle in his hands. Beside him, a bald man in a rust-red dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala stands smiling. Behind them, several men in white dhotis with gold borders wear rudraksha malas and red-orange garlands. Young boys in orange and saffron garments with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand nearby, and a few bystanders in white shirts and dhotis watch from the background. Tents, chairs and a parked car appear behind the crowd.

A photograph of a crowded outdoor gathering in hazy light, with a central figure in a red-orange turban and matching saffron-red wrap, wearing a long gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha mala, with long swept-back hair and a broad smile, walking among devotees. Around him, men in red and gold striped turbans and orange-red robes, one with a dark rudraksha mala and another with white tripundra markings, walk alongside. Behind them, a person in orange robes with white sandal-paste marks and a white beaded necklace gestures with a raised hand, and many seated and standing devotees in orange, white and red fill the background under a white canopy.

A photograph of several men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls walking together through a dimly lit stone temple corridor, holding hands in a line. The man second from left has long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a gold pendant on a chain and gold necklaces, and a red-orange wrap draped over his shoulder. Beside him stands an older bald man with a rudraksha mala and gold pendant, a bald man in orange at the far right wears a rudraksha mala, and uniformed police officers stand at the right edge. Behind them, women in dark saris and men in white and orange clothing follow along a pillared corridor. The presence of a long-haired man in ornate saffron with gold necklaces is a probable Swamiji (probable) appearance-based candidate walking in procession.

In the foreground, a smiling man in a reddish-brown dhoti-style wrap with gold-toned bead necklaces and a maroon turban stands beside a bald man in a maroon wrap with a rudraksha mala. To the right, a man in a white dhoti with gold-bordered cloth and a red-brown mala walks past.

A photograph of a procession on a dirt path under a thatched canopy decorated with yellow and green banana leaves. A central sannyasi in maroon robes, a maroon turban and a long garland of yellow, white and red flowers raises one hand in greeting and smiles. Around him, shaven-headed sannyasis in maroon and saffron-bordered robes with rudraksha malas walk alongside, and men in white dhotis and shirts and onlookers in the background follow. Appearance-based candidate for a person is not established, so the central figure is described by role only.
