A photograph of a procession inside a covered hall with a white-walled side and a tin roof decorated with garlands. At centre, a smiling man wears a bright orange turban, a white and pink-green garland, an orange robe with a red shawl, and a gold pendant necklace; a gold trident staff is raised in the background. Beside and around him, several men in orange robes with gold pendant necklaces walk together, one with a full beard and another with a shaved head. On the right, two men in white kurta with orange shawls and a man in white with a rudraksha mala stand near the wall. A low table draped in orange cloth with a white cushion stands at left, and several young boys in white robes stand in the background. Several people appear to be filming with a camera at the rear.

Outdoor procession on a red carpet runner over dry ground beneath leafy trees. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands center-left wearing a large garland of white flowers with red and blue bands and red tassels. Beside him a man in a white shirt and dhoti walks with hands clasped. At right, a bare-chested-looking figure in an orange-saffron wrap with a long rudraksha mala and an orange head cloth walks forward, with long dark hair. Two men on the left and several others in white dhotis and shirts stand around, one wearing an orange shawl. Tall poles with orange and purple ceremonial banners flank the scene.

A photograph of a group walking outdoors past a pale green building with columns. A man in an orange saffron shawl and orange garment, with long swept-back dark hair, is garlanded with a thick multicolour flower garland of white, red and green blossoms. He is smiling broadly. Around him stand men in white shirts and dhotis, one wearing a rudraksha mala and another with a gold bracelet, plus a woman in a white sari with a maroon border. Some carry lanyard name badges. A white car is parked behind them.

Outdoor procession on a dirt road under a clear sky. A man with long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha mala and a multi-strand white and red flower garland walks centre-left, appearing to be Swamiji (probable) by his long hair, orange clothing and garland cues. Beside him a man in an orange shawl over white clothes walks; behind them devotees in white kurtas and white dhotis, one older man in white with a rudraksha mala and a visitor badge, carry red and orange ceremonial umbrellas with fringed tassels. A temple gopuram and trees stand in the background.

Outdoor photo at a roadside event with banners behind. A bare-chested priest in red dhoti with white ash on forehead and arms, wearing beaded rudraksha-style malas, drapes a fresh garland of white flowers and green leaves over a man in orange robes and wire-rimmed glasses with a grey beard. A bald man in white dhoti on the left presses palms together in greeting, and a man in orange cloth stands behind with hands folded. Several onlookers, including a woman in a red sari, stand in the background. Large banners show a smiling man in orange and white text, and a green roofed building appears behind.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange saffron garment with gold trim, a white and red flower garland, and a rudraksha-style necklace, walking under a multicoloured fringed canopy topped with a golden trident (trishul). Around him, men and women in white dhotis, white shirts and white sarees walk alongside, several with orange shawls and rudraksha malas. Printed strips and small flags hang from palm fronds above. The distinctive long hair, saffron robe and ornate garland are appearance cues consistent with Swamiji (probable), walking in a procession under a ceremonial parasol.
