A photograph of a procession inside a temple corridor. A man in orange-saffron robes with a pink and green garland and layered gold necklaces walks at the centre, one arm raised, with a multicoloured canopy umbrella held above. Beside him, an older bald man with white forehead markings and a gold-trimmed orange dhoti holds his arm out, bare-chested and wearing a dark rudraksha mala with gold pendants. Two more men in orange robes walk behind, and a figure in white dhoti stands at the right edge. Arched yellow walls and a tiled floor frame the scene. The central man with the garland has long swept-back hair, and the presentation matches the probable Swamiji cues of garland, gold necklaces and saffron clothing, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) with a role described as a leading procession figure.
