Outdoor procession on a red carpet at a temple-like complex. A central figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, and a heavy gold necklace, walking barefoot. An attendant in an orange-and-white umbrella setup shades him under a blue and orange canopy with a long pole. Flanking men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk beside him, and a man in saffron carries a brass bowl. Behind, a canopy and decorated shrine with a deity murti appear. Spectators in white and orange stand on the sides. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in the procession, wearing long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and gold necklace, with the procession honouring him as the leading figure.

A man in a white dhoti and orange shawl stands at the left, and a man holding a brass pot with marigold garlands is at the far right. A shaded canopy and a decorated shrine stand in the background.

A procession walks along a red carpet under a large open-sided shelter with a corrugated roof and hanging decorations. A central figure with long dark hair wears a rust-orange dhoti with gold borders, a heavy gold necklace, and a red-and-white flower garland, with a rudraksha mala across the chest; he smiles and walks barefoot. Around him, shaven-headed men in orange and rust-coloured robes carry a tall golden staff with a decorated orange-and-red pennant and ceremonial staffs. Men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk at the sides, one carrying a brass ritual vessel. An elderly bearded figure in orange stands behind. a person by appearance: the long swept-back hair, gold necklace, garland and rudraksha mala suggest the central procession figure.

Outdoor procession on a red cloth-covered path. A bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks at the centre beneath a tall multicoloured silk canopy held on a long pole. Around him, men in saffron-orange dhotis with gold-bordered white dhotis carry brass pots and a conch-like vessel. Palm trees, a wire fence and a brick structure stand behind. The bearded man in the rust-brown robe is distinctively clothed with garland and mala, but his appearance alone does not establish identity, so no probable label is applied.

A procession on a paved courtyard with a red carpet runner. At the centre, a man in a red-maroon dhoti and matching shawl wears a long red flower garland and a wooden bead necklace, walking forward and smiling. A child in a red-maroon garment with an ornate gold headdress and silver necklaces walks at the right of the carpet. Attendants in orange and saffron robes carry a large orange parasol at left and ornate decorated umbrellas behind, while a man on the far right carries a brass pot with yellow-orange flower garlands. Robed attendants in white and saffron stand around the scene in front of a shrine canopy.

A central man with a long-sleeved... wait, correction: a central man in a plain maroon-brown dhoti and sash wears a thick multicolour flower garland and gold ornaments, walking barefoot with hands at his sides. On his left, a man in an orange dhoti holds a tall yellow-handled ceremonial parasol with a multicoloured canopy. Lines of people in orange and saffron clothing stand on both sides with palms pressed together in greeting, including several girls wearing rudraksha malas. Behind them is a decorated altar area with a deity murti, a kalasha and lamps. Several men in white dhotis stand at the left edge.
