Night procession on a street lined by a dense crowd of men and women. Front and centre, a man with swept-back long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a saffron-orange robe and smiles with hands joined. Beside him, a younger man in an orange cloth walks with a bare-chested devotee in a red shirt holding a tray of white flowers and purple blooms. Above them a red, yellow and orange fringed canopy on a tall pole is held aloft. Behind, many onlookers in white shirts, saris and dhotis watch; a white van is parked at right.

A night-time street photograph, blurred with motion, showing a crowd of men in white shirts and white dhotis walking along a narrow lane lit by bright lamps and a street light. In the centre, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange shawl over his shoulders walks forward smiling, while a man in front holds a bundle of red flower petals or garland. Several men in white and a person in an orange wrap line the path, and an orange-yellow glow lies on the ground. Trees and low buildings frame the lane.

In the foreground a man in a white shirt with a silver bracelet reaches out, and other hands hold bunches of red and pink flowers. Several onlookers stand behind the vehicle under trees, with a street lamp glowing in the background.

A dense nighttime crowd presses around a vehicle at a procession, with many people raising hands and phones toward a central figure. A bald man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style neck garland stands near the car, and a man in white dhoti with gold border holds a flower garland. A video camera operator is visible at upper right. Mostly white-clad devotees surround the scene, with a green metal railing and small lamp lights behind. A distinctive appearance cue is present but the figure's identity remains uncertain from the image alone.

Night photo of a narrow village street lit by a bright floodlight on a pole. A carpet of yellow flower petals runs down the middle of the road, with people standing and walking on both sides. Near the centre, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks along the petal path, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti walks beside the petals. Several young men in orange and blue shirts stand in the crowd, and others wear white or red clothing. A motorcycle is parked at right beside a tree branch with feathery leaves, and a white building with a balcony lies at left. The scene looks like a street welcome with petals laid for a visiting procession.

Many men in white shirts and dhotis, some in orange or checked shirts, surround the vehicle under streetlights and trees. A man in a light shirt stands near the car, and uniformed police officers in peaked caps move among the crowd, with one holding a flashlight. Several people hold up cameras and phones. Rudraksha-style red-brown beads are visible on some chests. Buildings and foliage frame the street behind the crowd.

A small group of people stands near a building with a balcony and grille gate on the left, and a vehicle is partly visible further back. The lane is busy with onlookers and devotees gathered around the road.
