Three men walk together through a temple corridor with a light stone floor. The central man, with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi and white urdhva pundra forehead marks, wears a pink flower garland, a white shawl over orange clothing, rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured bead necklace, and holds his hands together at his chest. The two men flanking him are bald, with white tilak on their foreheads, and wear orange dhotis with gold borders, rudraksha malas and pendants. Behind them stand devotees and onlookers in a columned hall with doorways and trees visible outside.

A photograph of three men walking together on a polished marble floor inside a building with pale yellow walls. The central man has long dark hair swept back, a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, and wears an orange-saffron garment with a white shawl draped over his shoulders. He holds his hands joined at his chest and wears a pink flower garland and a rudraksha mala. He is flanked on the left and right by two shaved-headed men in orange-saffron robes with gold borders, each wearing rudraksha malas and white tilak marks. A man in white dhoti and shawl is partially visible at the far right edge, and several people stand in the background.

Photograph inside a temple hall of two saffron-robed figures standing before a crowd. The elderly, bald, bare-chested man in front wears a rudraksha mala headband and multiple rudraksha and gold necklaces, with gold bangles and a ring, and an orange cloth wrapped around his waist with gold borders. Beside him stands a younger man with a short-haired head wearing a rudraksha headband, a long gold garland, rudraksha bracelets, and an orange robe with gold trim, hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, several onlookers in white dhotis and a man in a grey shirt stand among the crowd, and a teal and gold ceremonial fan or umbrella panel is visible at right. Stone walls and pillars form the setting.

A seated man in an orange-saffron silk wrap sits on a leopard-print mat in an outdoor courtyard, wearing a long dark rudraksha mala across his chest and holding beads in his hands. He has long swept-back black hair and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, and turns his head to speak. Behind him stand three men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and gold necklaces; one holds a small dark tablet and a pen. A brick wall and sunlight fill the background. The seated man's long hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces on the standing men form distinctive visible cues of a probable Swamiji presence, while the man is not otherwise identified.

A photograph in a stone-floored temple corridor with polished brown marble walls and pillars. On the left, an elderly bald man with white tripundra markings on his forehead and arms, wearing a red-and-gold shawl over orange robes and a gold bangle, holds a tall golden staff and faces right. Beside him stands a younger man in plain orange robes with a long rudraksha mala around his neck. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a garland of white jasmine and red flowers over orange robes, stands barefoot with hands pressed together in greeting. Behind them, men in white dhotis and white shirts stand in the background.
