Outdoor procession on a dusty dirt path lined with young trees and a red boundary wall. Drummers in white shirts and white dhotis play drums and a long wooden instrument, while women in colourful saris (yellow, orange, teal, green) walk alongside carrying drums, and men in white follow in a line. A man in a blue shirt and dark trousers walks at left beside a black water tank. Bright daylight with strings of small lights overhead.

A festival procession moves along a dirt path lined with palm trees and a thatched hut, with a pink flowering shrub at left. Two large ornate umbrellas with red, yellow and white panels are carried above the group. Drummers lead in the foreground: one in a yellow dhoti and cloth belt beats a pink-bodied drum, another in an orange-and-white outfit plays a drum, and a third in white shirt and yellow cloth carries a large brown drum. A man in orange shirt and white dhoti plays a long wind instrument. Behind them, many devotees in white shirts and dhotis, and women in white and yellow saris, walk in the procession. A white-clad figure with orange clothing stands near the center, and a bare-chested man with an orange shawl walks ahead.

A photograph of a procession on a dirt path between tall red brick walls, with trees and shrubs overhead under a pale sky. Several men walk together: one in a blue shirt and dhoti beats a drum, others wear white and cream dhotis or kurtas, and a man in a dark red-orange dhoti and orange turban plays a large drum on the right. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers walks at the right edge. A group of participants carries an ornate decorated structure in the distance. No identifiable a person figure is visible.

A procession of devotees moves across a paved courtyard under a multicoloured parasol, with orange flags raised by people in the background. In the foreground a bald man in saffron-orange robes with gold borders carries a small potted plant or offering tray and steps on green banana leaves scattered on the ground. Behind him, women in red and white saris and men in white dhotis and red shawls carry a framed portrait garlanded with flowers, a tray of offerings and drums, while a cameraman films. Palm trees and a red wall frame the scene.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with young trees and a low concrete wall. Drummers in white dhotis and mixed shirts beat large barrel drums, and a man in white playing a long brass horn leads the group. Robed sannyasis in saffron-orange walk in the middle, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Several people carry tall ornate umbrellas in orange, teal and red with decorated fringes, and red-orange flags fly overhead. Participants in white and orange form a dense group along the road.

A festival procession moves along a dirt road lined with orange and red bunting. Musicians lead, including a man in a white dhoti and shirt playing a large drum with a blue sash, a player in white with a saxophone-like brass horn, and a player in white with a clarinet-type woodwind. Drummers in white dhotis carry drums in front. Behind them, a row of ornate multicoloured umbrellas is carried aloft, and several people in saffron and orange robes walk with garlands and rudraksha malas. On the right, performers in ochre costumes with yellow headwear carry round orange-and-blue shield-like decorations. Participants in white and orange attire follow along a concrete wall backdrop.

A dusty dirt path through a grove of tall trees in bright daylight, with a crowd of many people walking in a procession. Most wear white clothing, including white kurtas, dhotis and white saris, while several monks and sadhus wear saffron and orange robes. Several large umbrellas with red, orange and blue panels, decorated with symbols, shade the marchers. Tall orange and yellow ceremonial banners with fringed tips rise above the crowd, and a drummer in orange is visible at the left edge. A red compound wall runs along the right side. A small child in a checked shirt walks at the center of the group. The scene reads as a ceremonial walking procession on the ashram grounds.
