Night procession on a paved street. Several drummers in saffron-orange dhotis and orange shawls with gold borders play large drums, and some wear rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. Behind them, a lit deity murti sits in an ornate golden shrine on a decorated float beneath a lit arch, with ornamental umbrellas in red and gold above. White-clad devotees walk in the background, and a yellow-and-red banner edges the right side.

Night procession scene on a road lit by street lights and headlights. Several young boys in orange and white dhotis, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas and white tilak, play drums and long brass horns (nagaswaram-style trumpets). Onlookers and a flickering flame stand in the background, with a vehicle and illuminated arch beyond. This is a drumming and horn-playing group at a procession, with no clear a person presence visible in the frame.

Night photograph of a drumming procession on sandy ground. Several men play large hand drums, each with a wooden stick, while walking together. The drummers wear saffron-orange cloths with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and some wear white cloths with gold borders; several have white tilak marks on their foreheads. A tall brass horn is raised at the left and dim lights and figures appear in the background. The scene reads as a temple festival procession rather than an identifiable event, and no Swamiji appearance is visible.

Night procession photograph on a dim street lit by bright vehicle headlights and street lamps. In the foreground, several drummers stand with their backs to the camera, mostly in silhouette; they wear orange-red cloth wrapped at the waist, white dhoti-style lower garments, and carry large round drums. Behind them, a crowd of people in light and orange garments and a glowing lamp at the right suggest a procession in progress.

A row of drummers performs outdoors at night beneath hanging decorations and lights. Six young men and boys play round frame drums with pink sticks. Most wear orange dhoti-style cloths with gold borders, bare chests, rudraksha malas and white ash markings on their faces and torsos. One drummer in the centre wears a white dhoti with a gold border. Behind them, another person in white and orange clothing stands near a pillar, with greenery and red and orange festive banners in the background.

A night procession on a stone-paved path lit by distant lamps. In the foreground a man in white dhoti with a white tripundra on his forehead holds a long silver-tipped staff topped with a fringed canopy. Four drummers in saffron-orange garments with gold borders and rudraksha malas beat large hand drums. Behind them, several people in white robes and orange cloth walk among floral garlands and decorated structures. The scene shows a temple-style procession at night.

Night procession on a dirt road lit by warm lights, with a illuminated chariot (ratha) carrying a deity murti under a decorated canopy in the background. In the foreground, a shaven-headed man in orange saffron cloth with a bare upper body and rudraksha mala, playing a large leopard-print-covered drum, stands centre frame. To his right, another man in orange robes plays a smaller drum. On the left, two drummers in white dhotis with gold borders play drums, one with a white headcloth. A few men in white clothing stand in the background among the procession, and a flaming torch or lamp glows near the chariot.
