A photograph of a procession inside an ashram hall with orange-painted walls and colourful woven hangings. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair and a white-and-red forehead mark wears an orange saffron wrap, a heavy gold necklace and gold armbands, and walks forward holding his hands at his waist. Behind him, several men in matching orange robes carry tall silver-topped staffs, and a figure in the right foreground holds a silver vessel with a red flower garland. A woman in black with her palms pressed together stands at the left beside a metal railing. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, shown with long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and orange saffron clothing, leading the procession.

A photograph of a procession walking down a red carpet inside a decorated hall. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron shawl and dhoti edged with gold, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, and an ornate gold armband; he smiles and walks forward with a bare-footed stride. Behind him a younger man in matching orange robes and gold-bordered cloth carries a silver vessel with flowers and a garland. Other attendants in white dhotis with sacred ash markings walk behind, and a golden staff with a tall finial stands at left. Overhead are palm-leaf decorations, marigold garlands, and colourful tasselled fabric, with spectators at the right edge. Elaborate garlands and ceremonial objects suggest a temple or festival procession.
