Night-time photograph of a procession on red stone steps. In the centre, a man wearing a saffron-orange shawl and a long gold-bead necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead, walks forward and gestures with one hand. Behind him, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders walks on the steps, and a woman in an orange garment follows among a crowd of onlookers in light clothing. The scene is lit by dim artificial light.

The central figure wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulders and a long black rudraksha mala, with his hands folded at his waist.

A photograph of a procession inside a temple at night, with a crowd of devotees behind. In the centre a smiling man with swept-back long dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a gold-coloured ornate necklace, golden bangles and a rudraksha mala; he appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace. Around him walk saffron-robed men with rudraksha malas and sacred ash marks, a woman in a white sari, and on the right a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala carrying a silver staff. Other devotees in white and orange stand in the background.

Night procession inside a temple corridor with a crowd walking barefoot. In the centre, a smiling man wears a golden crown and a red-orange dhoti-style wrap with gold borders, with a large gold pendant and a rudraksha mala; he is a candidate for a person based on the crown, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace. Around him, men in orange and saffron robes with beaded necklaces walk alongside, and a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala holds a torch. On the right, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a red mala walks beside them. Background devotees in white and orange move through the dim, lamp-lit hall.

Photograph of several men in orange and saffron robes descending a wide stone staircase at a riverside ghat in the evening. The central figure has long dark hair, wears a dark rudraksha mala and an orange shawl, and walks forward barefoot in sandals. Beside him on the left, a man in an orange kurta and a pendant necklace looks ahead. On the right, a man in an orange wrap and sandals smiles. Behind them a man in white with an orange shawl holds a camera. Elderly onlookers sit along the steps and railings, including a woman in a white sari at the lower right, and a man in a yellow shirt stands on the upper right. The pale sky and red railings frame the scene.

Four men in orange saffron robes descend a wide concrete stairway toward a riverbank at dusk, with a pale sky behind them.
