A photograph of a temple corridor with granite pillars and a white wall with red and white striped border, with a colourful gopuram tower behind. Several men walk together across a stone-paved courtyard. In front, a man with long dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and walks barefoot; a bearded man on the left wears an orange wrap, and a man in the centre wears an orange robe. Behind them, men in white dhotis and a man in a light blue shirt walk along. At the far right, a bare-chested, bald man wears a yellow and orange dhoti with a purple sash and white sacred thread. The front figure's distinctive long, swept-back hair and saffron robe are notable, but identity is not established from appearance alone.

A procession walks along a stone colonnade in a temple corridor with carved pillars and a painted ceiling. A man with long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a gold necklace of large beads and an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks at the centre, with the cues matching Swamiji (probable) in this context. Behind him, several barefoot men in saffron-orange robes follow, and a woman in orange also walks in the line. On the right, men in white shirts and a pink shirt walk alongside, one wearing a rudraksha-style pendant. Stone floor and pillars surround the group.

A photograph of people walking along a stone colonnade with carved pillars at a temple. In front, a man in a saffron-orange robe and a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant walks with his hands raised. Beside him, a man with long swept-back hair wears a white shirt with an orange shawl, holds a garland of red flowers, and keeps a hand near his face. Behind them, a man in a blue-and-white striped shirt with a white tilak on his forehead walks alongside an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. A woman in a white sari with a red border and another woman in orange appear at the left edge. The saffron-robed man has a distinctive long-haired, ornate appearance consistent with a person, but the identification is uncertain.

A photograph of a group of men walking barefoot along a stone-paved colonnade of a temple corridor with blue-painted pillars and a red-and-green roof. In the centre, a man in an orange robe with a flower garland and a purple-bordered shawl walks at the front, with a red-clothed figure beside him. Around them are bare-chested men in white dhotis with rudraksha-style necklaces, and men in white shirts and dhotis. A man on the left wears an orange cloth over a white dhoti. Behind them, stone columns and temple walls stretch into the distance.

Outdoor photograph of a procession on a stone-paved walkway beside a temple wall, with gopuram towers rising in the background. A barefoot man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, a flower garland and a ceremonial gold necklace, walks at the center, smiling; the appearance cues are long hair, saffron clothing, and ornate gold necklace, so this is a person candidate in person. Beside him, a bald elder in an orange robe with a white shawl walks barefoot, while men in white dhotis and shirts, one holding a green leafy garland, accompany them. Several devotees in casual shirts walk nearby, and a chalk floor kolam decorates the pavement.

Photograph of a group of barefoot men walking through a dim stone-pillared temple corridor on a granite-paved floor, under fluorescent light. Several wear saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, while others wear white kurtas and white dhotis with red-bordered cloth. The man on the far right in a long orange robe with a white forehead mark holds his hands folded at his chest. A man second from left in orange holds a small white paper and reads it. A woman in a pale sari walks among them. Behind them, shops and lamps are visible in the corridor. Several figures walk in a line, consistent with a padayatra procession.
