A procession walks along a paved path beside a long white-washed temple wall topped with yellow and cream stonework. Several men in white dhotis and shirts walk in a group. A central figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban, with a magenta-and-patterned shawl and a rudraksha mala, walks in front. Beside him, a bearded man with a shaved head and white markings on his forehead wears an orange and maroon wrap. A man in a white shirt and dhoti leads the group. Behind them, a colonnaded pavilion with pink-painted pillars stands on the left. The scene reads as a temple walk-through during a ceremonial visit, possibly related to the Kanchipuram ashram inauguration.2006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24A group of about a dozen men and women walk barefoot across a paved courtyard beside a tall whitewashed wall at dusk. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange shawl with a burgundy-and-gold wrap and a saffron head covering walks at the front, with a white-bearded sadhu in orange and white beside him and a woman in white carrying a metal tray. Several men wear white shirts and white dhotis, some with orange shawls, and a bare-chested man stands at the rear. Carved stone panels line the left edge of the courtyard. The scene suggests a ceremonial procession, but the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2006-11-24September 18 20062006-09-18November 24 20062006-11-24Photograph of a group walking barefoot along a paved courtyard beside a long whitewashed temple wall with weathered stains.

A man in the centre-right wears a saffron-orange turban, a saffron-and-yellow robe, a long orange shawl and a layered bead necklace, and he has long swept-back hair; the appearance cues are distinctive, so he is a person candidate walking in the procession. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and kurtas wear orange shawls or rudraksha malas, and one man in a khaki shirt carries papers. A bearded man at left wears an orange shawl over white clothing. Roughly ten to fifteen people are visible.2007-01-12December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04Outdoor photograph of five men walking single file across a bare reddish-brown dirt path with patchy green weeds, a grey concrete block wall and tropical trees behind them.

Many people in white dhotis and kurtas, some women in colourful saris, move in a crowd. Near the centre-right, a bearded man with long hair wears an orange-saffron shawl and a saffron turban, with a long garland of orange-yellow flowers draped over him, and carries a green cloth bag; he is among the central walkers. Several men in white nearby wear rudraksha-style necklaces and orange shawls. A Swamiji candidate is visible by these cues (saffron turban, long hair, orange shawl, flower garland), so the appearance is a probable match.2006-09-24
