A street procession on a sunny day. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long white and red flower garland, a tilak on the forehead and long dark hair walks barefoot and smiles, with hands clasped at the chest. Behind him, men in white dhotis with orange shawls and a woman in a white sari with a black beaded necklace follow. On the left a drummer plays a drum, and at right a man in a striped shirt beats another drum. Above the crowd, golden decorated banners on poles and white placards with Tamil text and portrait photos are carried, with a yellow bus and power lines in the background. A uniformed police officer stands among the marchers.

Street procession in a crowded Indian town road lined with people. A central figure wears an orange saffron robe and a large garland of white, yellow and red flowers, with a white tilak on the forehead and long dark hair swept back. Beside him, a man in an orange kurta and matching orange shawl walks with a folded cloth in hand. Around them, men and women in white clothes and orange shawls, some with rudraksha malas, follow closely. On the left, a drummer in a white and green striped shirt plays a drum slung over his shoulder. Handheld poles carry an ornate red and gold canopy and a yellow banner. Behind, held placards show portrait photos of smiling people and printed Tamil text. Police officers in khaki stand along the road. Shops with signage line the street.

Outdoor procession scene. A man with long dark hair wears a gold crown, a gold ceremonial necklace and a white garland edged with maroon beads, over a saffron-orange robe. He smiles and holds a long gold-tipped staff. Around him, men in white and orange-clothed devotees walk in the crowd, one holding a tall pole, with buildings and trees behind them. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept hair, crown and saffron robe with ornate gold necklace, shown in procession as the central figure.

Outdoor procession under a canopy with colorful tassels and tall ceremonial staffs. At the centre, a figure with long dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-orange garment, a thick multi-coloured flower garland of yellow and red blooms, and a gold ornamental necklace; the figure holds the shawl with one hand. Beside him walks a man in a red top and orange shawl with a dark beaded mala and pendant. Behind, devotees in white and orange-saffron robes walk along a dirt path with palm trees, and a peacock-feather fan appears at right. The figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for Swamiji based on long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and ornate garland, shown in procession.

A woman in the centre wears a white sari with a gold border and a red-and-white flower garland, with a gold necklace and a tilak on her forehead; she stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Around her, saffron-robed sadhus wear gold beaded necklaces with pendants, and one holds a tall golden staff. A man in a pale kurta with an orange shawl walks beside them, and a girl in a pale checked shirt and glasses stands at the right among the crowd. Figures in the background wear saffron and yellow clothing.

A crowd procession outdoors in bright daylight. At centre, a long-haired figure in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border and gold necklaces, wearing a red-and-white flower garland, presses palms together in greeting and smiles. Around them, men in saffron-orange robes with gold beaded necklaces stand close; one on the left holds a tall golden staff, and another in orange on the right faces the centre. A man in beige kurta and a woman in a white-and-pink striped top are visible in the crowd. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, a white and gold ceremonial garment, gold necklaces and a floral garland, matching the page's description of the Jayanti procession.
