Outdoor photo of a flag-hoisting ceremony in a village open space with palm trees and a tall white flagpole in the centre. A person in a long-haired, swept-back hairstyle wears an orange-red sleeveless garment and a large white and pink flower garland, reaching up to grip the pole. Around them a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis, several with orange-trimmed shirts and rudraksha-style necklaces, watch, clap and raise hands. A man in a white shirt holds a camera, and women in saris and salwar kameez stand at the edges. Coconut palms and a clear sky frame the scene.

Outdoor flag-hoisting scene on bare earth. A figure in an orange-red sleeveless top and orange wrap, with a white and pink flower garland over the shoulders, stands with their back to the camera and holds a brass lamp or vessel. Before them a tall white flagpole rises, and a tray of bananas, greens and flowers sits on a white cloth table at left. Around them devotees stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, including men in white shirts and dhotis, a man in a checked shirt, and women in saris. Two young men near the centre-right wear white dhotis, rudraksha malas and one has an orange-trimmed dhoti. Red bricks line the base of the pole and rose petals lie on the ground. Several people stand on steps in the background.

A young man in an orange saffron sannyasi garment with a large garland of white and red flowers and gold bell ornaments is smiling while gripping a white pole, apparently raising or adjusting a flagpole under an open thatched canopy hung with orange flags bearing a bird emblem. A man in white dhoti and shirt wearing a rudraksha mala holds a steel plate of colourful flower petals beside him. Behind them, a bearded man in orange robes and glasses stands among a large crowd of devotees, some in white clothes. A white cloth covers part of the left side, with a brass vessel and wheat stalks on the ground. The scene appears to be an outdoor ceremony with a dense gathering of onlookers.

Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered on a dirt ground. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange-red saffron robe and a long multicolour garland of white, pink, red and yellow flowers, standing with hands joined. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends at left, pouring or placing petals and flowers onto the ground in front of them. Around them devotees in white and orange-trimmed clothes clap and smile; a woman in a beige sari and another in white with gold bangles stand at right, and a photographer with a camera is visible at upper left.

Outdoor photo at a flag-raising or inauguration moment beneath a red umbrella atop a white pole, with orange pennants and palm trees behind. A central figure in an orange robe and orange turban, wearing a long white and red flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, pulls the rope to raise a flag while an orange-clad devotee beside him raises praying hands. A man in a white shirt and cream trousers stands at left looking upward, others in white dhotis and orange sashes watch, and a devotee at right in white holds a tray of flowers. Petals and marigold rangoli lie on the ground at the base of the pole. The central robed figure has no clearly distinctive a person cues beyond the orange robe and garland, so identity is left uncertain.
