Outdoor procession on a red carpet beneath large ceremonial parasols with white fringed canopies and red tassels. Two saffron-robed men lead the walk: the figure on the left in orange cloth with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead and sandals, and on the right a smiling man with a long swept-back hair, an orange turban, an ornate gold necklace and hands folded before him, a person by appearance cues. Behind them men in white dhotis and maroon-and-gold shawls walk with a silver-topped staff visible at left, and a green metal gate stands in the background.

Outdoor procession during a festival. A man with long dark hair, a white flower garland and a gold chain, dressed in saffron-orange robes, smiles at the centre of the crowd. Around him, devotees in orange and white clothing walk closely, one holding a tall wooden staff with an orange flag. Behind them a decorated float or palanquin is covered in marigold garlands and strings of colourful flowers, with a deity murti visible beneath a painted backdrop of a seated figure. A white-clad devotee with a rudraksha mala bends forward at lower right. Palm trees and a white structure appear in the background.

A procession on a red carpet under a decorated canopy with a red and gold umbrella. Several men in white kurtas and dhotis walk alongside two saffron-clad figures. The figure in the centre wears an orange turban, long dark hair, an orange robe and a long gold-beaded necklace, and gestures with his hand while looking to his left. The figure on the right wears a saffron shawl over his head and body, has vibhuti on his forehead and a white beard, and holds out an open palm. Behind them, a man in white with a red-bordered shawl and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala walk among devotees holding orange flags. Banners and printed panels with photographs hang on the tent behind. A uniformed police officer stands in the background. The central figure has distinctive long hair, an orange turban, gold necklace and saffron robes, which are cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, so his presence is probable but not certain from appearance alone.

Outdoor photo of a procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees and green foliage. In the centre, a bald man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-maroon border, glasses and a gold necklace with a pendant walks with a pink cloth in hand. To the right, a figure in orange robes wears a large garland of yellow, white, red and purple flowers over a gold necklace, a white tilak on the forehead, and raises one hand in greeting. Beside them, another person in orange robes and a bald man in orange follow. On the left, a bearded man in white clothes with a yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala looks downward. Behind them, men in white and a few women gather along the path. a person candidate: the garlanded figure in orange on the right shows long dark hair, a white tilak and a gold necklace, but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.

Photograph of a temple walkway with a gopuram tower and metal-roofed shelter in the background, where a crowd of devotees stands. In the foreground, a man with long swept-back dark hair and white forehead markings, wearing an orange robe and a long gold bead necklace, smiles and gestures with an open hand. Beside him a man in an orange robe with a gold necklace holds a pink cloth. On the left, a bespectacled man with curly grey hair and a red bindi wears an orange garment and a rudraksha mala. Several devotees in white and orange clothing stand behind them. Swamiji (probable) is the smiling man with long hair, orange robe and gold necklace.

Photograph inside a temple corridor with stone pillars and a yellow metal gate. A central figure in an orange saffron robe with a long gold-toned necklace and a white forehead marking walks barefoot across the stone floor, flanked by an orange-robed man with a long beard and glasses wearing a similar necklace. Behind them, devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand along the path, some with hands folded. On the right, a woman in a green and purple sari and a shirtless older man wearing a white dhoti and rudraksha mala pass by. The scene suggests a temple visit with a crowd gathered along the route.
