A procession inside a decorated pavilion with a red carpet and hanging green leaf festoons. In the centre, a man in a maroon-red turban and maroon-red dhoti and shawl with a thick beaded necklace walks forward, with a wide gold-edged sash across his body. Behind him, a figure in a dark red robe and rudraksha mala walks on the left, and an attendant in orange-yellow silk stands nearby. Several people in white and cream clothes stand in the background, and women in saffron and red saris watch from the right beside a decorated orange-and-black panel and a wooden pillar. A small brass lamp with flowers sits on the floor in the lower left.

A procession walks along a red carpet under a tented pavilion with tan and white draping and stacked chairs. In the foreground, a smiling man in a dark red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red turban, and a thick gold-beaded necklace walks forward, a red-and-gold cord visible at his waist. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas follow, along with men in white dhotis and red-orange shawls, and a few women in saffron saris and a child in the background. Tie colours to owners: the lead figure wears the turban and gold necklace; others wear plain white or saffron garments. Strong appearance cues on the lead figure (red turban, gold necklace, saffron-gold attire) are consistent with a person candidate in a ceremonial procession, though the image is not conclusive.

Inside a large open hall with yellow draped valances and white walls, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti with yellow borders and a thick saffron-orange shawl wrapped over his shoulders walks forward with his head turned to one side. He wears a large bead garland, has long dark hair tied back, and a white forehead mark. Behind and beside him, people in orange and maroon robes and white dhotis move through the room, some carrying white plates. Seated devotees in white and red sit at tables on the right, and a long table with yellow cloth lies on the left. The man's appearance, with long swept-back hair, a bead necklace and orange ceremonial dress, is consistent with the a person cues described on this page, though this is an appearance-based label only.

In the foreground, a man in a maroon robe and red turban with a gold crescent ornament wears heavy gold necklaces, bangles and an armlet, walking beside a white-clad man holding a tall silver staff with a gold-banded white dhoti and tilak. Behind them, bald and shaven-headed sadhus in maroon and orange carry rudraksha malas and gold chains. On the right, a woman in an orange shawl with rudraksha beads walks with a woman in pale orange. Several people are visible, and no identifiable a person candidate is established from appearance.

A procession moves through a temple or hall with a red-painted wall and gilded decorative panels. A man in the centre wears a red turban, a saffron-red robe with gold border, a long gold-bead garland and a cross-shaped pendant, and is smiling as he walks. Beside him a bald man in red-gold robes and rudraksha malas looks at a small device in his hand. Women in deep red saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk alongside, one carrying a long silver staff, another holding a large ornate golden fan-shaped parasol. A young woman in white and a girl in white with rudraksha beads also appear. Several people are partially visible in the foreground, with more people in the background.
