A photograph of a colourful, ornately painted gateway arch with red, yellow, green and white panels decorated with lotus motifs, topped by a red lotus. A small metal bell hangs from a chain beneath the arch. Beyond the gate, a group of about seven monastic figures in orange and saffron robes walks along a path between iron railings, with bare trees and misty sky behind them. A blue signboard stands at the left.

A crowd of devotees in saffron and maroon robes walks along a dirt path through a red-pink gateway with ornate finials. Several women in maroon saris with gold borders and men in orange-saffron robes lead toward a decorated vehicle with a cross-shaped pole and floral garland in the distance. On the right, stone statues of deities stand among trees, and a monk in orange gestures near them. A blue metal gate and a yellow-red flag are visible behind the gateway. No clear identifiable a person figure is evident, so no candidate is marked.

Several women in maroon and rust-coloured saris with gold borders walk in a group, many with hair pulled back, while monks and sannyasis in orange robes walk among them. On the right, a bald figure in orange robes raises an arm toward a cluster of grey stone statues beneath a tree. Behind the gate, a yellow flag flies and a distant decorated vehicle with flowers is visible under a clear blue sky. A green metal gate and small stone wall frame the scene.

A procession in an open courtyard beneath a canopy with a large umbrella-like parasol in red, yellow, green and blue tassels. Several people in saffron and orange clothing walk in line; women wear orange saris and beaded necklaces, and a bald man in a saffron cloth and garlands carries a ceremonial staff. Behind them stands a shrine with a deity murti group on a dais, and two white decorative standards with a blue emblem are carried. Young boys in yellow-orange dhotis and beaded garlands stand to the right, and a man in white is at the back.

Three saffron-robed men walk along a dirt path beneath a pink arched stone bridge. The man on the left, bald and holding an orange umbrella aloft, wears an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and gold-edged cloth. The centre man, in an orange robe with yellow borders, wears a long orange-and-white bead garland and walks smiling. The man on the right, bald, wears an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala. A man in a blue shirt with a red-orange shawl walks beside them, and a few more people follow under the arch. Dry grass, scattered litter and a sloping embankment surround the path.

A procession of saffron- and maroon-clad women and a few shaven-headed monastics walks along a dirt path between red pillared gateways toward a distant palanquin-style procession float decorated with flowers. The foreground monk on the left presses his palms together in greeting. Women in rust-red and orange saris with gold borders line the path, some carrying shawls. A yellow-and-red flag flies on a pole beside a teal iron gate, with stone deity statues and green trees around the courtyard under a clear sky. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance in this view.

A child in white stands at the lower left and a man in a red garment waits in the gateway. Stacked stone slabs lie on the right beside a brick wall and green trees under a clear blue sky.
