A row of devotees in white clothing stands outdoors with palms pressed together in namaskar during a ritual. A young man in the centre wears an orange saffron shawl over white kurta and dhoti, with a rudraksha-style necklace. Beside him, a woman in white with glasses and a dark necklace stands with hands folded. Behind them, more people in white stand under palm trees. At left, brass vessels and a brass pot connected to a green hose sit on a sandy ground. The scene is calm and devotional.

Outdoor photograph of a long double line of devotees in white and orange clothing standing along a sandy court lined with palm trees and a row of tall flagpoles flying multicoloured flags. Many men wear white dhotis and orange or saffron shawls, and several women wear saris in pink, green and red. Some participants hold rope or cord between them along the lane. A decorated canopy with red, green and gold fringe stands in the background. A dark-haired person in an orange garment is seen in the bottom foreground, partly cropped.

A line of young male devotees stands on a brick-paved courtyard under palm trees, hands raised in namaskar above their heads. Most wear saffron-orange dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas, while others wear white dhotis with gold borders; some have bare upper bodies with gold-trimmed cloth draped over their shoulders. The group appears to be performing a ceremonial greeting or ritual pose, with a small prayer rug at the left edge.

A crowd of devotees stands in a loose semicircle, mostly in white and black clothing: men in white shirts and white dhotis at left, a woman in a white sari with a yellow bag at centre, and men in black shirts with round emblem badges at right. Further back, people stand near a raised platform with a blue canopy. Many onlookers are visible, with some children among them.

Several young men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, form a loose circle and dance or play a game. A man in an orange shirt with a white dhoti stands in the centre facing them, while a man in white with a folded cloth stands at right. A crowd of onlookers in white clothes, including women in white saris, watches from behind a rope at the edge of the sand. The scene looks like an informal youth games session at a festival.

Outdoors under palm trees, a man in a white dhoti and white shirt walks barefoot across a sandy path marked by a white chalk line, while a large crowd of devotees watches from both sides. On the right, a figure in orange robes stands on a raised platform beneath a white canopy with red trim, raising one arm, with orange and red flags on poles behind. Many attendees wear white, and others wear orange or saffron robes, with a few in black and yellow. The scene appears to be a ritual procession or walk along a prepared path.

Outdoors on a bare dirt ground, a line of roughly twenty people in white clothing stand facing forward with palms pressed together in anjali. Many wear white kurtas or shirts with white dhotis or lungis, and several women wear white saris, some with orange or saffron stoles draped over their shoulders. Behind them are tall trees, a few palm trees, a large grey boulder and a rocky hill under a pale sky, with strings of small white bunting across the background. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.

Outdoor photograph of a large group of devotees standing in a long line on bare earth beside a tall wooden pole with a bent metal ring at its top, under coconut palms and trees. Most people wear white dhotis and white shirts or saris, and several men and women in saffron-orange robes and orange shawls stand near the left and centre, including a figure in orange at the far left beside a table with a yellow cloth and ritual items. A man in a light shirt stands at the right edge near a red-roofed building. The scene appears to be an ashram ritual gathering in an open courtyard.

Six young men in plain white shirts and dhotis or shorts stand in a row on the sand, several with orange headbands, facing a white chalk line. Behind them, a decorated palanquin or chariot draped with flowers and garlands stands near seated onlookers in white and colourful saris and kurtas. A distant rocky hill is visible at the right, and an orange flag flies on a pole at the far right.
