Photograph of a long stone colonnade inside a South Indian temple, with carved pillars and brackets along both sides and a dark ornate ceiling above. Several dozen small groups of devotees walk down the central aisle toward a distant lit doorway; a few are in white and cream clothing, with a woman in a sari near the centre and one lit oil lamp glowing on the walkway. No clearly identifiable central figure is visible.

A group walks through a long, dim temple corridor lined with tall carved stone pillars with red-painted bases. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks beside another in similar orange robes and a headdress, with devotees in white around them. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands among the group, and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti walks at the front.

Dim, low-angled view of a stone temple courtyard paved with worn grey flagstones. A long raised stone wall with small carved finials runs along the left, with a doorway-like opening and a tall palm tree beyond. On the right, a colonnade of heavily carved pillars forms a shaded pavilion. Sunlight glows through the hazy sky at the far end. Two or three tiny distant figures stand near the left wall and centre. No ritual, deity or clearly identifiable a person appearance is visible.

A dim, empty interior hall with a dark wooden roof and a row of tall, dark wooden columns with carved bases receding into the distance. The floor is tiled in red, orange and blue-grey tiles that reflect light. Plain white walls and small barred windows line the sides, with daylight glowing at the far end. No people, deities or ritual activity are visible.

A photograph inside a dimly lit stone temple corridor lined with carved pillars and fluorescent tube lights. In the foreground on the right, a figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a full beard walks away from the camera, with a dark pouch or bag hanging at his side; the cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a beard, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance-based candidate. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis walk in a line behind him toward a bright doorway at the far end, and a dark shape sits near the bottom edge.

Photograph of a stone temple courtyard with a colonnade of carved pillars and a flat stone-paved walkway under a tree at dusk. A group of about eight people walks along the pavement. In front, a figure in a saffron/orange robe with long dark hair walks ahead of a second figure in an orange shawl. Behind them, men in white dhotis and white shirts, including a man in white with a rudraksha-style necklace, follow, and a man in a light shirt and trousers walks at the right. Carved stone pillars and a stepped pedestal line the right side, and a tall stone structure stands at the left edge.
