A photograph of a procession at an outdoor ashram entrance with a decorated floor of white kolam designs. A bearded man in a white dhoti and shawl, with a garland and a bunch of yellow flowers, walks forward while a priest in white with a red-bordered shawl and a red-and-white sash holds a flower offering. Behind them several men in white and a man in saffron robes stand under two yellow, green and red decorated parasols. A man in an orange robe stands at left with hands folded, and a tall stone or metal statue cluster appears at the back. Palm trees and a parked car are visible.

A procession on a temple approach with a man in saffron-orange robes walking up patterned steps at center, followed by men in white dhotis and shawls. Above them a large colourful umbrella with blue, red and gold panels and bird motifs shades the group. At right, a young boy in a yellow shawl with printed script holds a brass pot with a green leaf and flowers. Behind, a man in white and a man in orange move through a sandy courtyard with a red structure and a few onlookers. Sandals are off on the steps and the ground is decorated with white kolam patterns.

Outdoor procession outside a building with a sign reading "SRI ANANDESHWARA TEMPLE". A bald man in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala stands centre-left, hands joined in front, with dark-rimmed glasses. Beside him a man in white dhoti and a red-orange shawl stands with arms crossed. To the right, younger men in white with yellow shawls and white attire walk under a red and gold canopy with tasselled fringe. On the left, a man in white holds a brass kalasha with red flowers on a tray, near women in white and orange saris. A crowd watches from behind. The orange-robed man is an appearance-based candidate for a person with only moderate cues, so the identification is uncertain.

A procession on a dirt road between a concrete block wall and palm trees. Front centre, a tall man in a saffron-orange robe and sandals walks with a long-haired man in a saffron shawl on his shoulders, with a bare-headed man in white beside them. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and saffron or orange shawls follow, some with white shirts. On the left, young girls and boys in white dresses and white clothing walk, one girl wearing a beaded necklace. Several colourful umbrellas with red, blue and yellow panels and fringed edges are carried overhead, marking a ritual procession.

A procession walks along a dirt road beside a concrete wall. Several decorated umbrellas in orange, blue and multicolour fringed designs are held above the group. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe walks at the front, with men in white dhotis and orange shawls around them. Some devotees wear white kurtas and one child in white walks among the group. A man on the left holds a long pole or staff near the umbrella bearers. The scene suggests a ceremonial return procession.
