Outdoor procession on a paved walkway beside a red boundary wall and palm trees. In the centre, a man in a rust-red robe with a gold-edged sash, a long garland of beads and a red-and-gold turban walks ahead of a crowd. Several saffron and orange-robed sannyasis, a man in white kurta with a pendant, and women in saris and salwar kameez follow. A multicoloured canopy stands in the background. Appearance-based cues for the central figure (turban, bead garland, saffron-toned robe) are consistent with the a person candidate; identity remains uncertain.

Outdoor procession on a paved path lined with palm trees. A man with long swept-back dark hair in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala, walks forward with his hands loosely at his sides while looking to the side. Behind him saffron-clad sannyasis and women in orange saris with yellow borders follow, several holding yellow-and-red ornate parasol-like banners on poles. On the left stands an orange stone shrine plinth with marigold garlands and a row of clay pots with plants. Women in the rear hold their hands in prayer, and onlookers stand at the back.

Outdoors on a dirt path lined with green grass, palm trees and a parked car, a group walks together. In the centre, a person in an orange saffron garment wears a long multicoloured flower garland and sandals. Beside them, a person in orange robes with long dark hair walks ahead, and another in orange robes walks on the right. Men in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, walk behind and alongside, one with hands folded. A small white bin sits on the grass to the right.

Outdoor photo at a temple-style ground beneath palm trees and a thatched shelter. A man in orange robes with long swept-back hair and white markings on his arms holds a silver vessel decorated with yellow flowers and white garlands, while a smiling young man in orange with a white flower garland and gold headband presses his palms together in greeting. Other orange-robed devotees and people in white dhotis and a woman in orange and white stand nearby. Decorated ceremonial umbrellas with blue and red emblems hang overhead. Whether the robed man with long hair is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
