A line of about fifteen men and several women in white, cream, gold, maroon and green traditional garments walks across a red-carpeted stage in front of red drapes. Many men wear white dhotis or kurtas, some with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and shawls, and one woman in a yellow sari walks near the middle. A foreground spectator sits on a colourful woven mat with bags nearby, and stage truss and speakers are visible behind the curtain.

Most wear white or cream dhotis and kurtas, some with orange or saffron shawls and rudraksha-style malas. A man in a lavender-blue shirt and white dhoti walks near the centre, and a woman in a green sari with a yellow border stands at right beside men in white and maroon. A large colourful striped mat lies in the foreground, with a black bag resting on it and a seated spectator's head at the bottom left. Stage lighting trusses hang above the red curtains. Several other people sit in the background.

A procession walks along a red carpet under a tented pavilion with tan and white draping and stacked chairs. In the foreground, a smiling man in a dark red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red turban, and a thick gold-beaded necklace walks forward, a red-and-gold cord visible at his waist. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas follow, along with men in white dhotis and red-orange shawls, and a few women in saffron saris and a child in the background. Tie colours to owners: the lead figure wears the turban and gold necklace; others wear plain white or saffron garments. Strong appearance cues on the lead figure (red turban, gold necklace, saffron-gold attire) are consistent with a person candidate in a ceremonial procession, though the image is not conclusive.

A procession inside a large white tent with a red carpeted floor. A man with long dark hair and an orange-saffron shawl walks centre-frame, smiling, with a bare-shouldered attendant holding a yellow canopy with beaded fringe on an orange pole above him. To the left, an older man in saffron robes with a white beard holds a walking stick, and a man in white dhoti with gold border and gold-bead garland walks beside him. On the right, young men in white dhotis with gold borders and garlands walk barefoot, one with a red bag. Spectators stand along the back, some with hands folded in namaste, and a person in a green shirt looks on.

Evening procession under a white tent along a red carpet, with men in white dhotis and orange-and-gold shawls walking in a line. The front man, with white hair and a white forehead mark, raises both fists while dancing. Behind them, drummers in orange cloth play drums and other men in white follow with hands folded. Decorated stalls, lamps and a golden deity murti with a vehicle sit to the right.

A photograph of a seated group of about a dozen men on a red-draped stage at a satsang-style session. Most wear white dhotis with orange-red shawls and rudraksha malas; several have shaved heads and some wear gold chains. A man in the centre wears a white dhoti and a red-brown shawl with his hands clasped, and another at right holds a mala. A bearded man with long hair sits among them. Their attention is directed to the left, and a dark red curtain backs the stage. No figure is clearly identifiable as the a person by appearance.

Several young men and women in white dhotis and white kurtas, many with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, walk or stand across a blue-grey carpet. A man in white stands near a small altar with a golden deity murti, a brass lamp and a flower arrangement, beside a television screen. Green and white bags sit on the floor in the foreground.

A photograph of a ceremonial stage with red drapes and a red carpet. A woman in a rust-orange sari holds a microphone and speaks while a row of men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stands beside her, one with bare shoulders and a hand at his chin. Five seated people occupy ornate golden thrones with lion-head arms; the central figures wear white and gold, and a woman in a maroon sari sits at the far right. Cushions, a folded cloth and a book lie on the mat in front, along with a small orange-capped bottle near the chairs.
