A long-haired man in a flowing saffron-orange robe walks forward along a grey carpet inside a large tented hall, carrying a dark beaded mala in one hand. He wears a red bindi and a red undershirt, and gazes ahead with a slight smile. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and an orange shawl walks beside him, and another in white kurta bends low near the floor. Red plastic chairs, striped green mats and white cloths line the hall, with a banner and a few seated attendees in white in the background. a person: the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha-style mala are visible cues of the walking central figure, who appears to be a presenter of the Salem event.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange wrap walking barefoot across a covered hall floored with green and multicoloured mats scattered with white cushions. He wears a red vermilion dot on his forehead and a dark mala draped at his side. Behind him, people in white clothes sit on white chairs and red plastic chairs under white tent ceilings and fluorescent tubes, and a banner hangs on the back wall. A person in a white dhoti with a yellow shawl stands at the right edge. a person is walking as a sannyasi in saffron, with long swept hair, a kumkum mark and rudraksha mala, though appearance-based identity is uncertain.

A tented hall with blue fabric canopy and metal poles. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair, a red forehead mark, and an orange saffron wrap walks barefoot across green-and-white mats. Around him, men in white kurta and dhoti with orange shawls and rudraksha malas walk alongside. Red plastic chairs are stacked in rows behind, and framed photographs hang on the wall. The central figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, so this is a person candidate present in person, with companions in white ritual dress.

A photograph of a covered open-sided hall with an orange corrugated roof and red-framed windows. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe walks barefoot across a striped green, pink and blue mat, smiling and looking down. He wears orange garments wrapped over his body. To his right, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style pendant holds a rolled item and walks alongside. Behind them a man in white and another in orange move through the room, and a pedestal fan, white plastic chairs and a table stand nearby. A large printed banner on the back wall shows a man in white turban-like headwear. A camera operator is visible at the left edge. The long hair, orange saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive and align with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.
