A photograph taken in a temple corridor lit by warm lamps, with carved stone pillars behind. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand close together, most smiling toward the camera. A man in the centre wears a thick brown-red rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a dark garment; he has long dark hair and a full beard. Beside him, a bare-chested man with a sacred thread and an orange-red cloth is visible at the back. Two men on the right wear white shirts with blue lanyards, and a man at far right has his hair tied in a top knot. A woman in red is partly visible at the left edge. Four or more people are clearly visible, with others partly behind them.

A group photo taken inside a temple corridor with carved stone pillars and ornate sculpted brackets. A central bearded man wears a long dark maroon-brown robe and a heavy layered rudraksha mala around his neck, standing among devotees. Surrounding men wear white shirts and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas and one with a red tilak on his forehead, and one shirtless man in saffron-toned clothing with beads stands at the left edge. A woman with hair pulled back and hands folded in greeting stands among the group. A smiling man in white shirt kneels in the foreground. Several people are smiling toward the camera. The central figure's appearance is consistent with a rudraksha-adorned sannyasi but cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2018-04-29 +1 copiesApril 29 20182018-04-29April 29 20182018-04-29 +1 copiesApril 29 20182018-04-29Photograph of a group of smiling men crowded together inside a temple corridor with ornately carved pillars and warm light. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, and one man at left wears white with a red tilak on his forehead. A central man with long dark hair and a beard wears a dark brown rudraksha mala draped over bare shoulders and a dark cloth, appearing to be the figure the page describes; the appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha malas and distinctive dress are present but ornate clothing is limited, so this figure is recorded as uncertain. Several others around him press in for the photo, one in a blue-trimmed white shirt crouching in front, and a man at right with a topknot. Visible people total about ten.2018-04-29Photo of a temple-corridor scene with a central figure wearing a white shawl over an orange-red dhoti and a large garland of white flowers with red and green accents, with yellow-orange tilak on the forehead.

A shirtless devotee with a rudraksha-beaded chain and a teal cloth gestures with open hands while speaking to the central figure, and a uniformed officer stands at the right.

A central man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold-toned necklace, smiles with white paste on his arm, which matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. Around him stand men in white dhotis and shirts, a man in a purple striped shirt holds a flower garland and a plate, and a bald priest in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Several other devotees fill the frame behind them.2012-05-22 +2 copiesApril 29 20182018-04-29 +1 copiesA photograph of a crowd walking through a dim stone temple corridor toward a bright doorway, with carved pillars on the right.
