Outdoor photo of a procession on a dusty ground at dusk. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban wears a rudraksha mala and walks with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a man in a long saffron cloth carries a floral garland. Men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with identity lanyards, walk around them, and uniformed police stand along an orange-draped barrier. A silver car with a small red flag on its bonnet and a Karnataka registration plate sits at left. Trees and a stage screen are in the background. Probable Swamiji is the central figure, identifiable by the orange turban, rudraksha mala and saffron robe while greeting the crowd.

Outdoor photo on a dirt ground in front of an orange and yellow tented pavilion, with trees and a white vehicle behind. A central man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a red-and-white flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling. Around him people in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a gold-bordered sari, and uniformed police officers greet with folded hands. A young man at left wears a yellow shawl over white clothes. Physical figures are sharply visible; the orange-robed central man shows distinctive saffron clothing, orange turban and garland cues, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.
