A barefoot man with long dark dreadlocks, a red tilak on his forehead and a beard walks down a sandy path past a tree-lined street. He wears a rust-red sleeveless top and draped rust-red dhoti with gold border, a rudraksha mala across his chest and a gold chain necklace. Around him, saffron-clad attendants with white ash markings and beaded malas carry a long yellow pole and a multicoloured fringed umbrella, one holding a pole while walking, another with a headband. Red-brick buildings and parked cars stand behind. Several attendants are visible, and the crowd is partly cut off at the frame edges. The central walker shows cues consistent with the page's a person flag (long dreadlocks, gold necklace, rudraksha mala, ceremonial dress), so this is an appearance-based probable candidate in a procession.

Outdoor photo on a dirt ground in front of a pale container or structure, with trees and an overcast sky behind. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti with gold borders, a large rudraksha mala around his neck, and an orange shawl, smiling as he walks forward in sandals. Beside him, a bald man in saffron cloth with an orange shawl and a wristband stands among others, and a row of devotees in white and red sashes, some with rudraksha malas, watch or walk around them.
