Photo of three men walking along a stone-paved temple path beside a tall granite wall, with colourful garland-hung canopy and temple gopuram visible behind. The man on the left has long, swept-back dark hair, wears a saffron-orange robe and a large gold pendant necklace with beads, and smiles while gesturing with raised hands. The man in the centre is bare-chested, wears a white dhoti with a dark striped border and a rudraksha mala, and carries a folded cloth bundle. The man on the right, with a grey beard and shaved head, wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over his head and body and gestures while speaking. Several onlookers in white and light shirts stand nearby.

A photograph of a procession on a paved temple-side path near a tall gopuram tower. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange saffron robe, a green leaf garland and a gold-coloured bead necklace, with a red forehead mark, and smiles as he walks. Beside him, an older bearded man in a saffron shawl and a white cloth walks. Another man in an orange shawl and white dhoti stands at right, and a man with a large floral garland is at the far right. Several men in white shirts, one wearing a pink rosette, and an older man in a light green shirt are in the crowd behind. A corrugated shelter and kolam designs on the ground are visible. Probable Swamiji (the centre figure, long hair, orange robe, green garland and beaded necklace), shown in person.

Outdoor photograph of a procession walking across a paved courtyard in front of a stone temple wall with pillared colonnade and a carved gopuram. A central man with long dark hair and a teal-green head cloth wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with multiple rudraksha malas and a gold-toned necklace, and he is walking forward with his arm raised. Around him are saffron-robed sannyasis, some with shaved heads and rudraksha malas, holding papers, and men in white shirts and white dhotis, some carrying a yellow bag. Uniformed police officers stand in the background.

Outdoor photo at a temple precinct, with a tall gopuram tower visible in the background and a stone wall with a corrugated roof on the left. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe wears a green-and-white flower garland, a gold ceremonial necklace, and a red tilak on his forehead, and walks beside an older bald, bearded man in orange robes. A third man in white shirt and white dhoti, with a pink rosette badge, walks at left, and a man in an orange shawl over white clothes walks at right. A crowd stands behind them, and police officers in khaki uniform are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in the flower garland and gold necklace, shown in-person walking with devotees.

Outdoor photo of a group walking through a stone temple courtyard with carved pillars and sculpted stone walls on the left. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a golden crown-like headband wears a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala, and a white ceremonial necklace, with one arm extended. Two shaven-headed men flank him in orange robes with rudraksha malas, and a bare-chested man at right holds a brass pot. Several people in white shirts and dhotis walk behind, and a gopuram tower rises in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the centre figure, identified by his long hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha mala and ceremonial necklace.

Outdoor temple-grounds scene in bright daylight among trees. A central man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi walks smiling in an orange-saffron shawl over an orange garment, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace, and holds nothing visible in his hands. Behind him a man in a sannyasi-style orange cloth with a rudraksha mala carries a silver tray of white flowers, and another man with a shaved head wears an orange wrap. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand around, one holding a small object. Small black stone shrines and red-and-white painted plinths line the area, with a decorated pillar wrapped in straw and yellow cloth at right. The central man is the presumed Swamiji by appearance (probable), given long hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha cues.

Several men walk along a sandy path beneath a long brown tent canopy with blue trim, a red carpet runway and white screens to the right. The foremost man wears a rust-red dhoti and wrap, a long rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead. Beside him a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha necklace walks barefoot, carrying a black bag. Two men in saffron-orange robes follow; the central one holds a small green card and wears beads, while the other wears a saffron wrap and white socks. A man in a red-and-gold robe and orange turban walks at the right edge with a rudraksha mala. Background figures in orange turbans and red robes stand under the tent. Red brick buildings and a utility pole appear behind.

Outdoor photo of a group walking along a dirt path past a white ashram building with a green corrugated roof and a flowering tree. In front, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala raises one arm high; his long dark hair is swept back, and he is a person, as a figure with long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads. Beside him, a bald young man in white with an orange shawl walks barefoot. Behind them, a saffron-robed sadhu with his hands folded, a man in a yellow dhoti, a bearded sadhu in orange with a headcloth, and men in white and grey trousers follow along a path lined with potted plants.
