clicking on an image from a gallery and showing its related images

Question

Please see this Stackoverflow questions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40730659/clicking-on-an-image-from-a-gallery-and-showing-multiple-images-in-the-same-page

I have an image gallery and I want to click on each image to show 4 related image to it. What is the best way to do this without creating a whole new page for each image to show its related images?

I am using this for image gallery: http://codepen.io/dimsemenov/pen/ZYbPJM

For now I have used Adobe InDesign to show the four images in one png file (due to space limits) but of course there are more aesthetic and smart ways. Please suggest solutions.

    if(hashData.pid && hashData.gid) {
        openPhotoSwipe( hashData.pid ,  galleryElements[ hashData.gid - 1 ], true, true );
    }
};

// execute above function
initPhotoSwipeFromDOM('.my-gallery');
here's the CSS:

.my-gallery {
  width: 100%;
  float: left;
}

.my-gallery img {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  display: block;
}
.my-gallery figure {
  display: block;
  float: left;
  margin: 0px 15px 20px 0;
  border: 3px solid #000;

}

.my-gallery figcaption {
  display: none;
}

Also is there an easier way to have this image gallery without using this library above?

Basically I would like to show something like this when you click on an image:
