A crowd of devotees in white dhotis and kurtas walks a procession outdoors among green shrubs and palms. Many carry tall orange flags printed with a blue dove emblem and the word a person. Above them rises a golden ratha-style canopy with a decorated ornate umbrella, and two embroidered gold-and-red banners with blue dove motifs hang from poles. A man in orange-trimmed clothing stands near the canopy. The scene suggests a ratha procession on a dirt road.

A procession on a dirt path moves past a red-brick building and trees under an overcast sky. At the centre, a decorated palanquin with a tall golden kalasha-like finial, colourful garlands, gold fringe and a canopy is carried forward. Men and women in white dhotis, kurtas and saris walk alongside, many holding red flags on poles and ornate orange-and-gold banners. A bearded man with long dark hair in a white dhoti with a gold border leads at left, wearing a rudraksha-style mala, while a woman in white at right holds an orange bag. Several men in white shirts and trousers wear ID lanyards, and a man in a blue turban walks among them. Visible people number roughly 30, and the palanquin contains no clearly identifiable figure.

A photograph of a long outdoor procession on a dirt road lined with palm trees and dense green shrubs. Many men and some women and children walk in white dhotis and shirts, several with orange shawls and vibhuti marks. They carry large ornate multicoloured umbrellas with fringed edges and tall orange flags bearing a black bird emblem. A man in a maroon shirt beats a small hand drum at the centre of the group.

Outdoor procession with a crowd of devotees in white dhotis and saris, many holding tall red flags and a long trident-topped staff. Above the crowd, a decorated ratha or palanquin carries a deity murti under a colourful canopy with garlands and yellow fringe, and a kalasha-style ornament rises from the front. Orange and red buildings and a blue sky frame the scene.

In the foreground a man in white holds an orange-and-red ceremonial umbrella-like banner aloft, while a bearded man in a white shirt with a black rudraksha mala looks ahead at right. Many onlookers fill the background.
