Night photograph of a temple courtyard with pillared pavilions and a lamp post in the background. In the centre, a figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long swept-back hairstyle and a white and red flower garland walks with hands joined in greeting. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and cream dhoti with a gold border, hands folded in namaskar, walks forward. Behind them a young person in a green kurta and white churidar and several other men follow. On the right, a man in a black shirt carries a woven basket of flower petals, and a priest in an orange dhoti with a waist cloth stands at a pillar. Swamiji (probable): the central figure in the orange robe shows long swept-back hair and a saffron garment with a garland, which are the qualifying cues for this presentation.

Photograph inside a whitewashed palace corridor with an arched doorway and columns, tiled floor. On the right, a smiling person with long dark hair and swept-back styling wears a flowing saffron-orange shawl and walks beside an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style cloth. On the left, a bare-chested young man with a sacred thread and beaded necklace wears a white dhoti and stands with hands folded. Another man in a white cloth stands in the doorway.

A photograph of people walking together along a long, pillared temple corridor with carved stone walls and a sculpted lion-like relief at right. In the centre, a man with long swept-back hair, an ornate gold-coloured necklace and an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks beside a man in a pink striped shirt and dark trousers. Swamiji (probable): the central figure wears long swept-back hair, a gold ceremonial necklace and saffron clothing, and is being escorted by the group. Around them, saffron-robed attendants, a man in a white shirt holding a red and yellow flower garland, and other men in white shirts and light clothing walk along the corridor.

A photograph of a procession walking down a tiled corridor inside a building with a barred window grille and fluorescent light. At centre, a figure wears an orange-saffron robe, an orange head covering and a white flower garland around the neck, walking between attendants. Surrounding men wear white shirts and white dhotis, several with lanyards and beaded necklaces. Two attendants carry large round fans or umbrellas with red and orange fringed borders and a dark blue emblem. A chalkboard with writing is visible on the left wall. The scene resembles a ceremonial escort into an event hall.

A night procession moves through a temple corridor with bright lights and a crowd behind. In the centre, a bare-chested man with his upper body uncovered wears a white dhoti with a blue-and-green striped cloth at the waist and a shawl-like wrap tied at the chest. Beside him, a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a white flower garland and a gold pendant, and carries a shawl draped over one shoulder. Other saffron-robed men with rudraksha malas and shaved heads walk nearby. On the right, a man in white with a yellow-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala carries a long staff. Several shirted people and bystanders fill the background, with a yellow-lit deity murti area visible at the back.

Night photograph of a crowd walking outdoors, with dim lights in the background. At the front right, a long-haired person in saffron/orange robes wears a white and red flower garland and rudraksha beads, with a white tilak on the forehead, smiling as they walk. Beside them a young boy in white shirt and white dhoti wears a dark pendant on a cord. In front, a man in a white checked shirt and white dhoti with gold border walks with glasses. Behind them, other men in white and grey shirts and a bearded man in white follow. The saffron-robed figure carries the flower garland and rudraksha cues that align with the page's a person reference, so the appearance-based label is probable.
