A group of men walks along a leafy garden path toward a small temple shrine with a blue-tiled gopuram-style facade and a niche containing a painted or sculpted deity murti. In the centre, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe leads the group, with a second man in orange beside him; several men in white shirts and white dhotis follow, and a man in a light blue shirt walks at right holding a yellow cloth. Dense green trees frame the scene. Because the page notes the event featured Swamiji, the long-haired figure in orange has distinctive long hair and saffron robe cues, so Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based label, though the identification is uncertain.

A group walks along a concrete path through dense green trees toward a small temple gateway with a blue-and-white tiled arched niche containing a painted deity figure. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a full orange-saffron robe and walks barefoot beside another man in an orange robe with a grey beard. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis flank them, including one in white on the left and one in a light blue shirt on the right. A few more people are visible in the temple doorway behind. The cues are long hair and saffron robes, so the central figure is a person, shown in appearance only. The page is about a 2008 visit to a temple.

A group of people walks along a narrow paved path through a gated archway flanked by green trees and a blue wall. At the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and walks barefoot; he has a distinctive long swept-back hairstyle and saffron clothing, a probable Swamiji candidate. Beside him, a bare-chested older man in a yellow and orange cloth walks barefoot. Behind them are other saffron-clad attendants, and at left a woman in a green blouse and purple sari carries a plastic bag. Men in white dhotis and shirts follow along the path.

A man in a saffron/orange dhoti and matching shawl, with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, walks at the centre of the group, with a garland of white flowers draped over another orange-shawled man in white. Around them men in white dhotis and shirts, many with rudraksha or beaded necklaces, and an orange-shawled figure follow. A small yellow-and-red flag is held at left.

In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala wears an orange saffron robe; appearance-based candidate Swamiji (probable) walking at the front.

On the left, men in white shirts and a woman in a yellow sari also walk. The colourful temple gateway with striped painted pillars and carved entrance is behind them, with a signboard visible on the right.
