A village procession on a dusty road lined with spectators. A red Massey Ferguson 241 DI tractor pulls a decorated float carrying a large deity murti framed by red and yellow marigold garlands and a gilt arch. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti drives the tractor, while a man in a red cap and white shirt rides on the float beside the murti. A colourful multi-tiered shrine with pillars is visible to the right, and uniformed police stand at the edge of the crowd. Many people line the route behind the vehicles.

A red tractor carries a large decorated float in a village road procession. Three men ride the tractor: one in a striped shirt at the left, another behind him, and an older man in white clothes and a pink shawl at right, who steers. Behind them stands a large painted deity murti with multiple raised arms, dark hair, and a long yellow and green flower garland across its chest, set before a fan-shaped halo of white and orange petal-like panels. Yellow marigold garlands hang from the float. Roadside trees, a truck, and onlookers in the background complete the scene under a clear blue sky, with yellow bunting strung overhead.

A red Mahindra tractor decorated with white and red flower garlands leads a procession on a dirt road. A smiling young man in white clothes and a yellow shawl sits at the steering wheel. Behind him, a tall ornate palaki or ratha canopy is adorned with flower garlands, golden bells, a round decorated umbrella, and tasselled fringe. Men in saffron-orange robes stand near the canopy. Other attendants in white shirts carry orange-and-red flags with a circular emblem. A large banana leaf sits in the foreground, and a yellow bus is visible at left.

A red Mahindra tractor decorated with white and red flower garlands and banana leaves leads a procession on a road beside a yellow-and-red bus. A man in a white shirt with a yellow sash sits at the wheel, smiling. Behind him, a palanquin with gold bells, a kalasha-like top, flower garlands and a decorated canopy carries two saffron-robed sannyasis, one standing and one seated. Ornate fringed red and orange umbrellas frame the scene. Men in white shirts and a uniformed officer in khaki walk alongside, and a man holds an orange flag. Trees and a cloudy sky appear in the background.

A decorated festival procession on a paved road under a clear blue sky. In the foreground a red tractor pulls a blue trailer draped with red and orange marigold garlands and tinsel; several men in white shirts and dhotis sit on the trailer, one standing in a yellow shirt and dark trousers holding a phone. Behind them a red and gold ratha-style float carries a deity murti framed by yellow and orange flower garlands. On the right, a pink-and-white banner and a speaker stack are decorated with tinsel and bunting. Utility poles and trees line the roadside.
