A procession walks along a paved path lined with shrubs and palm trees under bright daylight. Two drummers lead in front: the man on the left plays a drum with an orange strap and wears a white shirt and white dhoti, and the man on the right plays a red-and-gold drum wearing a white shirt and dhoti. Behind them a person in a green shirt and white dhoti blows a conch-like horn. At the centre, a young person in saffron-orange robes wears a long green and white garland and walks barefoot, with a black umbrella held above by a man in white. Other men in white shirts and dhotis, some with lanyards, follow along the path, with more people visible in the background near a parked car.

A photograph of a festival procession moving along a dirt road lined with palm trees under a bright sky. Drummers in the foreground play large barrel drums; one wears a yellow shirt and one a striped shirt, and a man in a striped shirt and white dhoti plays a drum. Behind them, men and women in white dhotis and white garments, some with red or orange shawls, walk beside colourful ornamental parasols and a white canopy carried on poles. Many orange and red flags wave above the crowd. A man in a white shirt holds a brass pot with flowers and fruit, and another carries a wind instrument. Several people in saffron-orange robes walk near the front. Huts and greenery frame the scene.

Musicians play drums and wind instruments, and women carry offerings in trays. Decorative floor patterns mark the ground. A man in white dhoti and shawl stands at the centre of the group.

A procession on a dirt path in front of a row of dark stone statues. Musicians lead, one playing a long wind instrument (nadaswaram-style pipe) and another a large hand drum with gold-trimmed rim, both in white dhotis and checked or white shirts. Behind them, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a long shawl and a bare-chested man in white dhoti with gold border walk under a bright orange umbrella held by a third man. Several other white-clad attendants follow. Stone statues and white pillars line the path, with trees and a hill in the background.
