A group of about twenty people walks along a dusty, stone-strewn dirt path lined with green shrubs and palm trees under a pale sky, with a distant hill and a tall telecom tower behind them. In the centre, two figures wear saffron-orange robes: a long-haired figure in an orange cloth on the left, and a shaved-headed figure in orange garments beside them. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts and women in white saris with gold borders walk together, and several younger participants wear yellow shawls and white clothing. The scene conveys a group circumambulation of Arunachala Hill.

Outdoor photo of a group walking along a wide dirt road lined with dense green trees and palms, with a distant hill and a tall lattice tower on the horizon. Most walkers wear white dhotis or white sarees and white shirts, some with yellow shawls. Two men in the middle of the line wear saffron-orange robes, and one of them is a shaved-headed sannyasi in orange. The group is spread out along the road, and small stones lie on the sandy ground.

A photograph of an open, dusty, half-developed plot with scattered rocks, young trees and a utility pole. Three saffron-robed figures walk across the dirt: the front figure in orange clothing holds an orange umbrella over himself, with a visible beaded necklace, and two more figures in orange follow behind. To the left, a person in white clothing walks near a small red car parked beside a tree. White walls and greenery sit in the background under a clear blue sky. A small wooden frame lies in the lower foreground.

A photograph of a village lane lined with a white picket fence on the left and a green tree canopy overhead. A group of about a dozen people walks toward a striped multicolored canopy and a low pink-and-cream building strung with colourful flags. Most men wear white shirts and white trousers. Two central figures wear saffron-orange robes: one tall figure with long dark hair and another shorter figure in orange with a shawl. A man in a white shirt walks ahead in the foreground, and a parked white car and a motorcycle sit at the right edge.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path with a grassy hillside and mango trees behind. Women in white sarees with gold borders walk in front carrying brass trays of offerings with green leaves and flowers. Behind them, a woman in an orange saree with a long garland walks between men in white dhotis and orange shawls. Men in white hold a decorated red and blue ceremonial canopy (ratha-style umbrella) and tall poles bearing a fringed ornamental standard. A white van is parked on the right beside a man in a striped shirt, and orange and white flags fly from poles along the path.

A procession crosses a grassy dirt field under a pale sky with scattered trees. Several people in saffron-orange robes walk in front, carrying ornate ceremonial parasols with orange and gold fringes and blue-and-red embroidered panels. Behind them, a group in white clothing walks along, including a figure in white with an orange shawl near the centre. A white-and-red striped canopy umbrella is held aloft in the middle. Dozens of people, many in white, follow along the path, with some children visible in the crowd.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path through green trees and scrub, with a large crowd of devotees dressed mostly in white. Several colourful striped umbrellas and canopies are carried above the group. A central figure in white robes with a long orange-saffron shawl walks forward at the front, with a mala-style necklace; the figure's long hair and saffron shawl are visible cues, so this is Swamiji (probable) leading the procession. A man in white with an orange shawl walks at the right edge and a man in white holds a camera on the path. A tall white pole stands in the foreground beside a stone platform. Several people are visible in orange and red garments among the white-clad crowd.
