Night procession on a paved path lit by string lights wrapped around trees and a bright floodlight. A multicoloured canopy with fringed edges, mounted on a long pole, is carried over the procession. Men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas walk in the group, one bare-chested figure in a patterned wrap leads a tall pole-bearer region, and a bearded man in white dhoti and shawl walks at the front with a drum-like object. A figure with a dark turban and bare-torso adornments stands near the canopy. Green and red lights line the sides of the route.

Photograph of a ceremonial procession at night under a large fringed canopy with a gold pole. A central man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl wears a gold necklace, a patterned cloth turban with a crescent ornament, and a red and white tilak; he walks with hands folded along a striped runner. Behind him a shirtless man in orange garments holds a pink and white decorated kalasha with a green leaf bouquet, and several men in orange and maroon dhotis with white tilak and bead malas walk alongside. On the right, women in white saris and orange garments stand with palms pressed together in namaste, some wearing rudraksha malas and forehead markings.

Night procession on a dirt ground lit by a bright floodlight and a string of multicoloured fairy lights forming letters behind. Four barefoot men in rust-red and orange robes walk forward. The man on the left in orange carries a silver kalasha-like vessel with green leaves on top; the central man, bare-chested with a sacred thread, wears a large red and yellow marigold garland and a tilak. The man in red-brown holds a silver tray or vessel, and the man on the far right carries a tall silver spear-like staff, with white tilak and a dark cap.
