A procession on a dirt road in an ashram setting, with a white ornate chariot drawn by four white horses with decorated red and gold harness. A white umbrella canopy rises above the chariot. Seated on the chariot's white throne is a figure in saffron-coloured clothing with a red-and-gold garland and a rudraksha mala; a portrait-like depiction of a seated figure in red and white is also shown on the throne. Beside the chariot, a driver in orange robes with a crown-like headpiece holds the reins, and a bare-chested man in orange dhoti walks alongside. Children in white and orange dress and devotees in orange and white clothing walk along the road, and a red brick building and trees stand in the background.

An outdoor festival procession on a dirt road. A golden palanquin decorated with garlands in red, pink and purple sits at centre, with a seated figure visible on it under a canopy. Men in white dhotis and white shirts carry or walk beside it, and several hold tall umbrellas with red, blue and fringed panels. A woman at left wears a pink sari, gold necklace and kumkum, and holds a silver trident. A man in a white dhoti with a maroon-bordered shawl stands with folded arms at centre. Trees and a few buildings sit behind.

A photograph of a procession on a dirt road beside tall red multi-storey ashram buildings. A white and silver chariot pulled by five white horses carries a seated figure under a white canopy; the seated figure wears white and a red sash, and a second figure in white stands on the cart. A person in orange robes with a long braid walks at the right side, and several saffron-robed followers walk alongside, some wearing rudraksha malas and one wearing a white dress with orange accents. Behind the chariot is a golden kalasha-topped tower.

A procession outdoors on a dirt ground with red and blue ceremonial parasols above. At centre, a smiling man with long dark swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a white and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, a long red-and-pink flower garland, and layered gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant. Around him stand men in orange saffron robes and orange shawls, one holding a tall gold staff, one bearded, and a younger man in an orange-gold kurta with a white tilak and beaded necklaces. An older man on the right in a cream kurta and orange shawl wears glasses. A golden kalasha-topped pole and fringed parasol edging appear behind the crowd.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban sits on an ornate cream throne with black carved wooden arms, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a saffron wrap over one shoulder, his bare feet resting on a silver tray holding flower petals. He smiles down at an elderly white-haired man in white clothes who bows with his head pressed toward the feet, hands cupped in reverent greeting. A woman in a white saree with gold border kneels beside them with hands folded in prayer, and a young boy in a striped yellow and purple shirt stands behind. Behind the throne hang orange drapes swagged with marigold garlands, and a silhouette figure with raised arms appears on the backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by his saffron robe, orange turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial seating.

A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair swept back, wearing a saffron-orange draped garment over a leopard-print cloth, a pink rose garland and green leaf garland around the neck, and a white vertical tilak on the forehead. He extends his right hand toward a kneeling devotee in a white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala, whose palm is raised near the first figure's hand. A silver trident stands beside them and a golden lion-head ornament rests in front. Behind, a woman in a cream sari with an orange shawl stands at the edge of a hall with white curtains.

A procession walks along a red carpet on a paved path before a shrine with a decorated canopy and deity figures. At the centre, a man with long hair and a white flower garland, wearing a saffron-brown dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala, walks barefoot, hands joined. Attendants in orange and red robes, many with rudraksha malas, press their palms together or blow long brass horns and carry drums. A tall staff with a fringed banner rises at right, and a trident stands at left among dense green trees.
