Outdoor photo of a crowd walking in procession along a stone-walled temple passage, with a tall gopuram visible in the background. At the centre, a figure in an orange robe with an orange head wrap, a gold-coloured shawl edge and a beaded necklace leads the group; he is a probable Swamiji by appearance (orange head wrap and ornate saffron clothing, with long hair and a rudraksha-style necklace), though his identity is uncertain. Around him are many men in white shirts and white dhotis, many wearing dark beaded necklaces, some with white and orange shawls, and a few with visible sacred marks on their foreheads. A man in white carries a small child at the lower right, and a man in a light shirt walks in the left foreground.

Photograph of a temple courtyard with high grey and salmon-coloured walls and palm trees behind. In the foreground, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe with a green leaf garland and a dark beaded necklace stands beside a weathered grey stone platform, smiling. Facing him, a bald man in an orange robe with a gold chain stands with his back to the camera, while a man in a white shirt wears a pink rosette badge and a woman in a red-and-maroon sari with a pink badge stands at right. A cameraman with a video camera is at right, and a line of devotees in white and coloured clothes waits along the back wall. a person cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe, green garland and beaded necklace. The other figures are shown as priests, devotees or attendees.

A photograph inside a stone-pillared temple hall with carved granite columns and a dim wooden ceiling. In the centre, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck stands smiling, with hands folded in front of him; he appears to be Swamiji (probable) based on the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues, and is in_person. To his right, a man in white with an orange shawl and a garland of white and red flowers stands beside a stone pillar. Around them, several men in white dhotis and shirts stand watching, one holding a yellow bag, and a bearded man in white with an orange shawl stands near the centre. Beyond them, an open doorway reveals palm trees and foliage.

A dim, unfinished brick hall with a crowd of many people gathered around a central group of saffron-robed monastics. Around them devotees in white dhotis, saris in yellow, green and teal, and a woman in red and orange stand close together. A dark wall board and small wall niches are visible behind. Many people, too many to count precisely, fill the frame.

Outdoor photograph at a temple courtyard with a tall pale brick wall behind. In the foreground, a bare-chested man with long dark hair and an orange-red cloth wrapped at the waist stands with palms pressed together in prayer, bowing over a worn grey stone structure. He wears a gold necklace and gold armbands. Around him, several saffron-robed sannyasis stand, one on the left holding a small silver vessel and wearing a rudraksha mala. Behind them a large crowd of men in white shirts and white dhotis, plus women in orange and white saris, stands with hands folded in devotion. A thatched bamboo shelter and a pink temple building appear in the background.

A procession walks along a stone-paved courtyard beside a dark brick wall and a salmon-pink temple hall with a gopuram tower visible in the background. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, an orange turban, an orange-and-yellow robe and an ornate orange-gold beaded necklace walks forward with hands folded near the chest, probable Swamiji by appearance. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, many with orange shawls and rudraksha malas, walk in a dense group. A bearded man in a white dhoti and orange shawl leads at left, and a man in a brown shirt walks among them. Bright daylight, no visible text in the frame.
