Photograph of a ritual procession on a stage with a striped woven mat underfoot. A bearded man with long hair, a red tilak and white markings on his forehead, wears an orange-red sannyasi wrap and stands barefoot, smiling. Behind him, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders holds a silver umbrella with leaf-shaped pendants over him. Another man in white with gold-bordered cloth and rudraksha mala stands at left, bare-chested with white body markings, and a man in an orange cloth holds a yellow-wrapped offering at right. A silver tray with banana-leaf offerings sits at lower right. Several people stand in the background near a white curtain and speakers.

Photograph of a ceremonial procession at an indoor ritual event. A barefoot man with long dark locks, a white tilak on his forehead and a red bindi, wearing a long orange-saffron sannyasi drape over his shoulder, walks forward smiling. Behind him a man in a white dhoti and shawl with a beaded necklace and rudraksha bracelet walks beside a woman in a deep red saffron-bordered sari holding a decorated tray of flowers and offerings. To the left, a shirtless man in an orange dhoti with a gold-medallion garland plays a round frame drum. An ornate white umbrella with hanging beaded tassels is held overhead, and a silver bowl and silver offering trays with fruit and leaves sit on the striped floor mat. Three people are in the foreground scene; the background holds additional figures.

Outdoor procession on a rocky path beneath large trees. At centre, a man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark and a red-brown saffron-toned cloth wrap walks forward wearing a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant and gold bangles; he is the probable Swamiji by appearance cues of long swept hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron clothing, and is walking in front of a ceremonial multicoloured fringed umbrella held aloft by an attendant in white. Behind him, white-clad men with bare upper bodies, rudraksha malas and gold-trimmed white dhotis carry and attend, one holds a red umbrella. On the left, women in green and orange saris and men in white kurtas stand with palms pressed together in greeting along a low stone border.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead walks across a brick-paved courtyard in flowing orange robes and orange sandals. A second man in orange robes holds a large orange umbrella over him from the left. Behind them, a third man in white kurta and dhoti wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, and a potted conifer stands beside a brick building with an open doorway. The main figure has long hair, a crown-less saffron robe and a tilak, and his appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though not conclusive.

A central figure walks outdoors along a paved path, smiling, wearing a rust-red robe, a dense rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, a tall black turban-like headwrap, a white and red forehead mark with a red dot, and a bead bracelet. Behind him an attendant in a red-and-gold dhoti and rudraksha mala holds a bright yellow umbrella over him. To the left, a shaved-headed attendant in a red robe with gold border and white tripundra marks on the forehead walks with hands folded. Green trees and a red wall form the background. Three people are visible.
