Outdoor street procession in front of a pale yellow concrete building with louvred windows, a green metal gate and a tall glass tower behind. A man in a white dhoti and shirt on the left plays a long brass horn (nadaswaram-style trumpet). In the centre a man in a saffron-orange robe, orange turban-style headwear, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured pendant walks with a green cloth bag in hand. Beside him a young drummer in white carries a large barrel drum. Around them a group of older men in white dhotis and white shirts, some in pink or light shirts, walk along, with a child in white near the middle. Two people visible on the right appear to be watching or walking nearby. The scene reads as a ceremonial procession.

Outdoor street scene beneath trees in front of a white building with a blue-trimmed arch. A procession moves across a parking area lined with parked cars. In the centre, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti plays a long brass horn (nadaswaram-style wind instrument). Beside him a younger man in a white shirt and dhoti plays a barrel drum with a strap over his shoulder. Walking at the left is a figure in a saffron-orange robe with a matching saffron head covering and a long rudraksha-style mala with a gold pendant, appearing to be a person, with a sannyasi's saffron garb as the distinguishing cue. Several older men in white dhotis and shirts, one with a white beard, walk alongside, and a man in a pink shirt and pale trousers follows behind. The atmosphere is that of a ceremonial procession.

A photograph of a temple courtyard where a saffron-robed figure wearing an orange turban and a long garland of yellow-green and purple flowers walks with hands folded at the centre. He has long dark hair and wears a saffron shawl. Beside him a man in a white kurta and glasses walks, and a man in a white shirt with a red-and-orange sash in the foreground walks on the left. On the right a man in white with a forehead mark plays a long wooden flute. Behind them a crowd of older men in shirts stands near a grey carved temple doorway with a white wall and red-trimmed roof.

A photograph of a welcome procession outside a modern white-and-glass building with palm trees. At centre, a man in a red-orange turban and draped red-saffron cloth wears a large garland of white and pink flowers and a red-orange floral garland, walking barefoot on a paved walkway. Around him, saffron-robed sannyasis with shaved heads and rudraksha malas walk alongside men in white dhotis and shirts. On the right, a drummer in white with an orange cloth carries a large drum. Whether the garlanded central man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a garlanded guest of honour.

A procession moves along a paved road beside a white multi-storey building under a clear sky. A drummer in the foreground carries a drum with a red and orange strap and wears white clothes. Behind him a man in white dhoti plays a long brass horn. Several umbrella-bearers carry ornate umbrellas with orange, yellow and blue panels and gold finials. A figure in an orange robe with a red turban and a garland walks at the centre of the group, flanked by people in white. A woman in a white sari carries a brass plate, and a man at right holds a yellow cloth bag with printed red lettering. Trees and a parked vehicle appear at left.

Outdoor temple courtyard scene with a yellow temple tower and white wall behind. In the centre, a young man in saffron-orange robes wears a long red and white flower garland and walks barefoot, flanked by men in white dhotis and shirts. A man in a white shirt with a pendant chain walks beside him, and a drummer in white carries a drum on the right. A woman in a red sari stands at the far right, and a child is held by a man near the back. Near the foreground, a Shiva lingam-style deity murti decorated with red flowers and a garland sits beside lit oil lamps and offerings on a stone ledge. The mood suggests a temple procession or ceremonial walk. Several people are visible in the background.
