Two long lines of people stand facing each other along a stone-paved path lined with palm trees and a red brick wall. Many carry ornate ceremonial umbrellas with colourful floral and tassel decorations and tall gold-topped staffs. On the left, a woman in pale green salwar kameez holds a white scarf, and a woman in orange sari stands beside a trident-topped staff. On the right, men in white dhotis and a man in red-and-black robes with a red shawl hold staffs and umbrellas. The scene suggests a ceremonial procession.

A photograph of a long procession along a paved stone path lined with devotees holding ornate parasols. Two rows of people stand on either side, holding brightly coloured umbrellas in yellow, orange, pink, purple and blue, many decorated with embroidered fringes and silver-tipped finials. Many participants wear white kurtas and dhotis, while others wear red, orange, pink and green salwar kameez and saris. A woman in a dark green sari walks down the center of the path. Trees and a building frame the scene. Some umbrellas bear a red emblem with a white dove. A person at the right edge holds a golden staff topped with a finial.

A procession on a stone-paved path lined with palm trees and a parked dark SUV. Rows of people in white dhotis and white shirts or tops hold long wooden poles that support large colourful umbrellas, red, green and blue with bird and floral motifs and fringed tassels. Several men in saffron-orange robes walk in the middle distance, and a few figures in white stand near the umbrella bearers. The scene reads as a ceremonial walk with umbrella-bearers escorting the group.

Outdoor procession along a wide paved path lined with palm and tree shade. Two rows of people in white dhotis and white kurtas or sarees stand on either side, many with orange or saffron shawls and yellow cloths; some men wear orange-trimmed stoles and lanyards. Along the left, women in cream and white sarees walk alongside children in bright clothes. Further ahead, a figure in an orange-red saffron garment walks down the centre of the path among the attendees, and a decorated structure with orange and red elements appears in the far distance. Strings of flags or garlands hang over the left side.

A temple procession crosses a paved courtyard beside a red-and-white painted wall. A tiered parasol of orange, gold and purple umbrellas with beaded fringes is carried high at centre. A man in a yellow shirt and white dhoti stands with palms pressed together. A bare-chested man in a cream dhoti carries a brass tray of offerings. A woman in a white sari holds a small pot. A white-haired woman in an orange sari holds a golden staff with a trident-like finial. Other men in white and saffron-orange dhotis and sarees walk behind, with palm trees and a tall temple flagpole in the background.
