A street procession of devotees walks along a tree-lined road. Many wear white shirts and white kurtas, with orange and saffron flags on poles and small orange-and-white placards held aloft. A large orange banner is carried at left, showing a portrait and printed lettering. Women in sarees and salwar kameez walk among men and children; a man in a yellow shirt in the foreground gestures forward.

A dusty dirt road is filled with a procession of devotees in white clothing walking toward the camera. Many carry tall saffron-orange flags on poles, and several hold white placards bearing a framed portrait of a smiling figure with long hair in orange robes, with Kannada script beneath. Men wear white shirts and dhotis with rudraksha malas, and women wear white or cream saris and salwar kameez. Palm trees and a small building line the background, and one man in the foreground holds a placard near the lower edge. The scene appears to be a pada yatra. Printed Kannada text on the placard and an orange-robed portrait appear, but the portrait figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

In the foreground a woman in a white sari with a dark beaded necklace holds a white placard with a portrait of a smiling figure in an orange turban and an orange-red Kannada caption. Beside her, a man in white kurta holds a similar placard, and a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala walks at the front-right. Several marchers wear white and orange. A number of other people are visible behind them in the crowd. The portrait printed on the placards is a depiction, and no physical person in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person.

A long procession of devotees walks down a dirt road lined with trees, under an overcast sky. Most are dressed in white, with some women wearing white saris and carrying brass plates or baskets of flowers on their heads. Orange flags and a few red flags are visible in the background, and a green vehicle sits at right. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and white trousers, with an orange scarf and a rudraksha mala, carries a large framed printed portrait. The portrait shows a figure in a white head wrap with dark hair, against a purple backdrop, with a caption at the bottom reading the name Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Dhyanapeetam. Several women in white saris and beaded necklaces walk nearby.
