A photograph of a temple entrance at dusk with a sandstone wall and carved doorway. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears orange-saffron robes and a multi-coloured flower garland; he walks toward the doorway while a bald attendant in saffron-orange robes and a gold-coloured necklace stands beside him holding a small offering plate. To the left, a younger man in orange robes with a beaded necklace walks barefoot on a patterned ground of coloured kolam designs, beside an older man in a white dhoti and shirt. Behind them, more saffron-clad devotees and a child in a striped shirt stand near the entrance, and a sign hangs on the wall. Colonnaded pillars are visible at the left edge.

In the foreground, a figure in a white dhoti with a gold border walks with long dark hair and a small bindi, carrying flowers. Beside him, a figure in an orange-red saffron-toned robe with a white and yellow flower garland and a dark cloth over the shoulders walks barefoot, with a thin yellow line painted on the forehead. Behind them, a bare-chested man in a yellow-bordered dhoti and several men in white shirts and white dhotis walk through the passage. The scene looks like a temple procession or ritual movement.2012-09-11 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple lane with a central figure in a red-and-orange garment and a long multicolour flower garland of red, yellow and white blossoms, smiling with a white vertical forehead mark, wearing gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala. Around him, several men in saffron-orange robes walk closely, some with rudraksha malas and forehead markings, while men in white dhotis and shirts stand at the edges. A pink temple wall with a gopuram tower and a tall white tower lie behind, with a video camera visible at right.2012-08-17July 23 20122012-07-23Several men walk in a dim stone temple corridor toward a bright doorway. The foreground man in front wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a rudraksha mala, a white ceremonial necklace and a white forehead band, and he appears to be the lead figure, with a second man in orange and gold behind him. Other men in white dhotis and shirts, some with gold chains and shawls, walk alongside. A white-shirted man with a beard stands at the right beside a chair. The pale pillars and worn floor suggest a temple hall.2012-05-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a group walking along a stone-walled path beside a gopuram-topped temple complex at dusk, with a misty hill behind. In the foreground a figure in a long dark-hair style wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a gold-beaded necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, walking alongside a bald man in orange robes holding a garland. Other saffron-clad sannyasis and devotees in white dhotis and shirts follow, with a man in a grey shirt and jeans at right. The Swamiji candidate shows distinctive orange robes, long hair and beaded adornments, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), walking in procession as an in-person presence.2012-10-12May 07 20122012-05-07September 11 20122012-09-11
