A photograph inside a temple corridor shows a bare-shouldered man seen from behind, wearing an orange shawl with a gold border and a gold necklace, with long dark hair, standing with hands folded near a carved dark stone pillar. A green sign with Tamil and English text reading FREE DARSHAN points right beside an open metal-grilled shrine on the left, where a small chamber is visible. Painted ceiling panels with floral and figural motifs are visible above. One person is present, and the figure appears to be a devotee at darshan. The man's face is not visible, so his identity is uncertain.

A man stands in profile at right, seen from behind and the side, with long dark wavy hair, a white forehead mark, a bare upper body draped in an orange and white cloth, and gold necklaces at the neck. He faces left toward a dark stone carved figure of an elephant-headed deity beside a doorway with metal grille gates. A green sign with white Tamil text and an arrow reads FREE DARSHAN. The scene is a dim temple interior with a blue bird logo at upper left.2012-04-11April 11 20122012-04-11Photograph inside a temple corridor at a carved stone pillar with a green Free Darshan arrow sign and a blue Tamil-language notice board behind a metal railing. A man with long, swept-back black hair wears a saffron-orange shawl, a gold necklace and a gold armlet, and stands with palms pressed together in a namaste greeting toward the carved stone. A second man beside him in orange robes and a rudraksha mala also holds his hands together. A tall metal staff topped with a bird figure stands behind them. The man in front matches the swamiji appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold, so he is described as a probable Swamiji. Ceiling lights and temple architecture frame the scene.2012-04-11July 13 20092009-07-13May 31 20122012-05-31December 11 20112011-12-11September 25 20112011-09-25July 13 20092009-07-13A smiling man with long dark hair swept back stands beside a carved grey stone temple pillar.
