Outdoor photo of a ceremonial procession ascending a broad red stone staircase toward an ornate golden throne draped with a white cloth on a dark cushioned seat. Several men in rust-red and orange garments with gold-striped borders walk up the steps; some carry metal ceremonial items and one holds a trident-like staff. Behind them, a column of people in orange and red robes and white clothing follows, with large red and patterned parasols raised overhead and a golden ornamental canopy at left. Tall white poles line the open plaza, with modern red-brick buildings in the background under a bright sky.

Outdoor ceremony on tiered red sandstone steps beneath ornate umbrellas with red, orange and multicoloured fringes. A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe sits centrally on a red-draped seat, with a gilded panel behind him, and a small brass or silver lamp nearby. Around him, several sadhus in saffron and ochre robes sit on the steps; one holds his hands together in prayer, another wears a rudraksha mala and white dhoti. Red flags line the railing and a multi-storey red building stands at right under a clear blue sky, with a few people visible seated in the background.

Outdoor photograph of a ceremonial procession descending red sandstone steps beside a pond, with a crowd seated on tiered stands and red-and-white flags on poles. A bare-chested man with a shaved head and tilak, wearing a rudraksha mala, walks at the front on the left, next to a man in an orange robe and a photographer with a camera. An elderly bearded sadhu in orange robes and a white shawl stands centre-left, and a man in a red-orange robe with a long grey beard holds a long staff. A tall ornate yellow-and-orange parasol is held over the group, with a second parasol behind. On the right, men in white dhotis and white shirts and bare-chested men in orange and red cloths climb the steps. Pale hazy sky above. No legible sign text is visible.

A procession climbs a stepped stone ghat with red, purple and green striped step edges. A large multicoloured parasol with fringed edges and a wooden pole is held aloft at centre. Around it, several men and youths wear saffron-orange dhotis and wraps, some with orange head cloths, some bare-chested with white beaded necklaces and armbands. A man in a red-brown cloth leads with long black hair flowing to his back, and a drummer in orange strikes a white drum at left. Women in orange with silver headbands and bangles walk among them. A man in white dhoti with a yellow border stands at upper right. Black stone kalasha-like pillars and a chain-link fence with oleander shrubs are behind.

Outdoor photo of an event on red sandstone steps under a clear blue sky. An elderly man with a long white beard, wearing orange robes, sits on a red velvet cushion beneath a decorated umbrella, with hands held together in greeting. Beside him, several seated men in saffron and ochre robes, some with shaved heads and rudraksha malas, sit on the steps with palms pressed together. A golden-framed panel stands on the left, and many more saffron-clad people are seated in rows further along the steps to the right. Multiple ornate parasols in red, orange and multicoloured fabric shade the group, and red flags line the railing.
