A uniformed police officer in khaki with a cap stands behind. On the right, a shaved-headed man in a saffron robe with gold beaded necklaces gestures forward.

A smiling man in the centre wears orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold-beaded necklace, a gold crown-like headband and a forehead tilak; he gestures with his right hand. Around him are several men in orange robes with gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beads, a bald man with white forehead markings, and men in white dhotis behind. A candidate matching the page's Swamiji reference is visible with distinctive orange robes, gold ornaments and a crown, so this is an appearance-based probable identification: the smiling central man in the orange robes and gold necklace is Swamiji (probable), walking through the temple. Other men are devotees and attendants.2012-05-10A photograph of a procession through a long, lamp-lit temple corridor with ornate carved pillars and stalls along the sides. At the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold necklace and a headband with a red-and-white tilak walks with a smile; the cues are a saffron wrap, a heavy gold garland, and a headband, so he is a candidate for a person in the procession. Around him, a bald priest in saffron on the right wears a rudraksha mala and a gold-trimmed wrap, and several devotees in white dhotis and saffron shawls walk behind. A uniformed security officer stands at the left edge, and a man in a light green shirt stands at the right edge.2012-05-10
