Three men in orange-red robes step down from the threshold toward the night street; one on the right wears a large orange mala and holds a small brass vessel, another behind wears a rudraksha mala, and the figure in front has a plain orange-red shawl and bare chest. Bright lamps light the street beyond. A kolam-style floor design is visible at the threshold.

A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a long white garland with red and green tassels and rudraksha malas, walks down the steps. He is flanked by two attendants in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and a white-clad older man in a white shirt and dhoti who holds his arm. Another person in white stands at the right edge. A small brass tray is visible near the right attendant.

Night photograph at a temple precinct with a colourful gopuram-style shrine in the background, decorated with painted figures and bull statues. Three men walk across a stone pavement. The central man has long dark hair, a full beard and a maroon-brown dhoti and wrap, with a thick rope-like cord over his shoulder. The man on the right wears orange-saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala, and holds a white coconut or sacred fruit. The man on the left, bald and wearing a rust-brown dhoti with a flower garland and a yellow marigold-type offering, carries a bag. A woman in a green sari stands behind them, and a few other figures and parked motorcycles are visible on the left. The a person presence is only an appearance-based candidate: the central figure with long hair, beard and maroon wrap may be the a person, so the entry is marked as probable in person.

Evening photograph of a procession at a brick and wooden-doored building. A bearded man in a reddish-brown robe with a long white and pink flower garland and a dark rudraksha-style necklace walks down temple steps, head slightly bowed and smiling. Behind him a man in orange cloth carries a long golden staff, and to the right a young man in orange robes with a white forehead band holds a brass tray of flowers and green leaves. Three people are visible. a person: the central figure shows a shaved-style head bun, long beard, garland and rudraksha cues, so the appearance-based label applies with uncertainty.

Beside him, a bare-chested figure with a crown-like headpiece and kumkum on the forehead wears a gold-bordered orange cloth and a long rudraksha mala. On the far right, a shaved-headed sannyasi in orange with a rudraksha mala walks with arms swinging. Uniformed police officers in khaki stand between and around them, and white-clad devotees are visible in the background at the edges.
