Outdoor procession along a red-draped walkway under a tree, with string lights overhead. A barefoot man in orange robes and a pink flower garland, with a white flower necklace hanging at his chest, walks forward smiling with palms pressed together. He appears to match the a person candidate by his orange saffron robes, long swept-back hair and ceremonial garland, though this is uncertain. Beside him a man in a white shirt and white trousers walks with a shell-like pendant on a chain. Women in white saris with gold borders and yellow shawls, several wearing black beaded necklaces, walk on both sides, some holding brass plates and offering trays. Footwear is lined up along the left edge of the path.

In front, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a long pink and white flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace; a long-haired figure with swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate adornments matches Swamiji (probable) as the leading figure. Behind him walk devotees in white saris, white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, and a woman on the right holds her hands in anjali. A camera operator is visible at the upper right.2009-09-15A photograph of a procession walking along a covered, decorated corridor with red curtains, fairy lights and tricolour bunting overhead. At the centre, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a long pink-and-white flower garland and a ceremonial necklace, walking barefoot on a path marked with rangoli-like white lines. Around him, devotees in white and cream clothes, including a woman in a cream sari and men in white shirts and dhotis, walk alongside; a woman in a white sari at right presses her palms together. Rows of footwear lie along the left wall, and rose petals are scattered on the floor.2009-09-15March 03 20112011-03-03January 01 20122012-01-01December 29 20102010-12-29A photograph of a central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a white and green garland around the neck, walking barefoot along a red carpet under a pink arched entrance. He presses his palms together in greeting. Beside him walks a woman in a cream sari with a pink border and a second saffron-robed attendant with long hair. Men in white dhotis and white shirts line both sides of the carpet, several with palms joined in greeting, and a man in a white shirt and dhoti walks alongside. Hanging potted plants and green trees appear behind the arch, with a gold bird-shaped object at the lower left edge. The central figure's appearance shows several cues: long swept-back hair, a saffron robe and a garland, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so he is a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving a welcome.2010-02-16A photograph of a decorated passageway with a striped green, white and orange canopy and red curtains, where a group walks along a terracotta tiled floor. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a large pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, walking barefoot with palms pressed together in greeting; the figure's appearance is consistent with the candidate, but the cues are not distinctive enough for a firm match. Around him, women in white and cream saris and men in white kurtas and orange robes walk with folded hands, and a woman in a gold-bordered sari with a red bindi stands at right. Shoes are scattered at the left edge.2009-09-15Outdoor photo under a canopy of leafy branches at a Tamil Nadu event.
