A procession walks barefoot along a concrete path lined with green foliage and a low white wall, with a traditional tiled-roof building and palm trees behind. In the centre, a man in a flowing orange robe and a long ornate garland of beads and flowers walks with long dark hair swept back; hands are folded at the waist. Swamiji (probable) is indicated by the long swept-back hair, orange robe and ceremonial garland. Around him, men wear white dhotis and white shirts, several bare-chested with sacred-thread style cords, one with a gold chain. On the far right, a man in orange and white stands at the edge of the frame.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path with palm trees and a low wall behind. The foreground figure with long dark wavy hair wears a loose orange robe and a gold-and-bead necklace, walking barefoot. Beside him a young man in white kurta and orange shawl walks with his hand on a silver kalasha-style vessel carried by another man in white and orange. Other participants in white shirts and white dhoti follow, including a bespectacled young man.

Outdoor photograph of four men walking barefoot on grass beside a white-washed stone wall with a dark green shrub at left. The man second from left wears a white kurta and dhoti, a saffron orange shawl draped over one shoulder, and carries a long wooden walking stick with a curved handle. The central figure wears a saffron orange robe with a gold-coloured beaded necklace and rudraksha-style ornaments, long hair swept back, sandals, and looks upward while walking. The man at far left wears a white kurta and dhoti and holds a small object. The man at right is bare-chested with a white dhoti and hands folded in front, walking with his head turned. Warm late-afternoon light falls across the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in orange robes, identified by his swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold beaded necklace.

A photograph of a group walking along a paved path beside a white-walled building and green foliage, with a tiled roof behind. In front, a man with long dark hair, a saffron-orange shawl and a large white flower garland walks barefoot; he is the figure in a compatible presentation with saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and a garland, but appearance alone is uncertain. Beside him a bare-chested man in white dhoti carries a wooden staff, and an elderly bare-chested man in white dhoti walks at right near a camera operator holding a video camera. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and white kurtas, some with orange shawls, follow along the path.

A photograph of a walk along a dirt path between orange-painted brick walls. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, walking barefoot with sandals on the ground. Behind and beside him, several shaven-headed men in white dhotis with red borders walk in a loose group, some carrying bottles or papers. Another orange-robed monk follows to the right. A green corrugated-roof shelter, palm trees and a small shrine-like structure with a deity murti stand in the background.

A photograph of a procession on a dirt path beside a cream-coloured building with a corrugated awning. Several men in orange and saffron robes walk in a line; the central figure wears orange dhoti and a long wooden-bead necklace and has long hair, and another man in front carries a long pole. Men in white dhotis with orange shawls follow. A small gold ceremonial emblem is mounted on the wall. Palm trees and open land are visible behind.

Outdoor photo of a group walking on a dirt path past green shrubs and a white wall. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap, a multi-strand gold-and-beaded garland, and sandals, with his hand on his hip; the figure has long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace consistent with the page's Swamiji cues, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate. Behind him to the left, a bare-chested man with rudraksha beads wears a checked dhoti. Two men in white dhotis with orange shawls walk ahead, one carrying a black bag and one holding a wooden staff. Another man in a white kurta walks among them. On the right, a bare-chested man with a moustache holds his hands together in greeting, wearing a white dhoti. Five people are visible.

Outdoor photo of a procession on a paved hexagonal-tile path with a bare dirt ground behind it. In the centre a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala walks barefoot, hands folded in front of him. Beside and behind him are men in white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing yellow shawls and one holding a cane, along with a man in a white shirt and dhoti and several boys in casual clothes with hands joined in greeting. Stone statues stand in the background near a red-and-white painted border on the left.
