A group of saffron-robed sadhus walks barefoot along a pale dirt path in an open ashram compound in daylight. In the centre, a long-haired man in orange with a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace leads the line, flanked by bearded sadhus in orange, brown and rust-coloured cloths. Several men in white shirts and trousers with lanyard badges walk alongside, one holding a video camera. Behind them are a concrete block wall, a wooden fence, young trees and a utility pole under a pale sky.

A dirt path through an ashram construction site runs past a thatched palm-leaf roof on the left. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl and walking barefoot, leads a small group. Behind him, a man in orange and another in white follow, while a few people in white clothing work or walk further back. A blue-and-yellow truck is parked near stacked concrete blocks, cut timber and piles of gravel. Young trees and rubble surround the path, with a two-storey building in the background.

A man in an orange-and-gold robe wearing a long multi-strand gold and beaded garland walks at the centre, and an orange umbrella is held above him by a young man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala. Several shaven-headed men in orange robes walk beside and behind him, and a white-clad elderly man with a grey moustache walks at the left edge. Several other people in white and light shirts follow in the background.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with trees, a parked white van and a large pink billboard behind. A long-haired figure in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a bright marigold garland walks at the centre, flanked by saffron-robed sannyasis barefoot with shaved heads. Behind them men in white dhotis and shirts, some with shawls, follow, and a man in a white shirt walks in front. Yellow and white vestments and a small shrine-like tray are visible near the centre. A Swamiji (probable) candidate at the centre is identified by long swept-back hair, an orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland, in the role of the one being escorted in procession.

Outdoor photo of a procession walking on dry, bare ground beside a white wall with barred windows and a leafy tree. In the centre, a man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl wears a long rudraksha mala and tilak, carrying a small object in one hand and walking barefoot; he appears to be the a person candidate with distinctive long swept-back hair and rudraksha, though the identification is uncertain. To his left, a woman in an orange sari with a red blouse carries a black bag. To the right, a bald young man in a white dhoti and shawl with gold border walks barefoot. Behind them, women in teal and green saris and a girl in striped top, plus men in shirts and trousers, follow in a line.
