Night street procession under strings of orange and white festoons and marigold-style garlands hung across the road. A dense crowd walks along the street; many women wear white or light saris and carry bundles of yellow flowers, one with flowers in her hair. Men in white shirts and dhotis, and a man in a blue t-shirt, walk among them. A white flag is held aloft at left and another white flag at right. Shops and a lit signboard line the roadside, and a vehicle and street lamps are visible behind the crowd. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person.

A night street scene with a dense crowd of people pressing around a dark car at the right edge. Many men wear white shirts and dhotis, some in white caps, and a few women in saris stand among them. Strings of orange triangular bunting and white flower garlands stretch across the street overhead, and small white and orange flags wave above the crowd. Some people hold up flower garlands and hands raised toward the car. Shop fronts with signboards line the street under dark trees, and a street lamp glows in the background.

Roadside shop signs and banners appear in the background.

A night street procession fills a narrow town road lined with blue-and-white shopfronts and a thatched roof at left. A bare-chested man with a white forehead band and grey beard, wearing a red-pink dhoti and a white sacred thread, walks at centre. Beside him a woman in a white sari with yellow border holds a bouquet of yellow flowers. Crowds of men in white shirts and dhotis, some in yellow and orange, follow, and many hold saffron flags on poles. A cameraman with a camera at left films the scene. Pictured people are in motion; no swami is identified in this photo.

Night street scene of a dense crowd pressing around a dark car at an event, with strings of triangular pennant bunting overhead and vehicles and lights in the background. Men in white shirts and dhotis dominate the crowd; a man in the foreground raises his arm and shouts, and a woman in a red blouse and women in saris stand nearby. Strands of white flowers and garlands are draped on the car bonnet. The car window shows a figure inside in white clothing, but the face is not clearly visible and no identity can be confirmed from appearance.
