Outdoor procession on a dirt path in front of a pink temple-style canopy strung with orange marigold garlands. In the foreground a man in a brown shirt and white dhoti plays a long wind instrument (nadaswaram-type) with a bell-shaped end. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and shawls walk, and a bare-chested man in white with yellow sash follows. At centre, a figure in an orange robe, orange head-wrap and rudraksha mala walks beside a second figure in orange robe holding a white flower garland. Devotees in saris and white clothes line the path, and a cameraman in a brown shirt films. A tent and palm trees stand in the background.

Outdoor photo of a welcome ceremony on a stone-paved courtyard. A bare-chested sadhu with long matted hair and rudraksha beads, wearing orange cloth, extends his hand toward a small oil lamp on the ground. An older man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds his hands over the flame in greeting. Behind them, several young men in orange cloth and orange turbans stand, one holding a drum, and another holds a yellow umbrella with fringed red and multicoloured tassels over the group. On the right, a bearded man in orange robes wears a long rudraksha mala and tilak markings. Trees, a parked white car and a fence form the background.

Photograph of a group walking across a bare concrete courtyard beside a pale wall with a faded blue-grey base. A central figure in an orange saffron robe and orange head wrap wears a long white jasmine garland and a rudraksha mala, and walks barefoot. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis walk alongside; one holds a red and white banner with an emblem. On the right, a man in white dhoti and shirt wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala and gestures toward the group. A small temple shrine with colourful decoration is visible at upper left.

Outdoors on a dirt path lined with green grass, palm trees and a parked car, a group walks together. In the centre, a person in an orange saffron garment wears a long multicoloured flower garland and sandals. Beside them, a person in orange robes with long dark hair walks ahead, and another in orange robes walks on the right. Men in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, walk behind and alongside, one with hands folded. A small white bin sits on the grass to the right.

Outdoor procession on a red-tiled walkway beside a covered carport and greenery. Central figure in a saffron-and-maroon dhoti with a gold-trimmed waist cloth, wearing a large red and white flower garland, a gold pendant, and a rudraksha mala, walking barefoot and smiling. Flanked by monks in orange robes and rudraksha malas, one carrying a trident (trishul) and another a drum. Men in white dhotis and white shirts walk alongside. A drummer in white at left plays a drum, and a monk at right holds a trident. Possible Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair and an ornate gold pendant and garland, with the page noting his presence.

Outdoor procession on a red carpet strewn with rose petals along a tree-lined street. A central figure in a deep red-brown robe wears a long multicolour flower garland and rudraksha beads and walks barefoot, with eyes covered by a white cloth. Flanking figures in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas walk alongside, and a man in white shirt stands at left. A woman in white sari with gold border holds a silver plate of offerings with flowers and a decorated coconut, and a drummer with a drum sits at right. Several people in white and saffron stand in the background among parked vehicles and trees, consistent with a pada puja welcome at a devotee's house.

A procession moves along a dirt path flanked by dense green foliage. Two young musicians in front play long wooden nadaswaram-style pipes, one in a dark green shirt and one in a light green striped shirt, both in white dhotis. Behind them a drummer in a white shirt and dhoti plays a large drum. A man in a white shirt with a moustache walks in the foreground. Further back, a figure in a red turban and orange garment and another in an orange shawl walk under a colourful striped umbrella, a saffron flag hangs above, and a white-clad man carries a decorated object. Several devotees and uniformed attendants in khaki follow along the path.
