A photograph of an outdoor procession canopy decorated with white jasmine-style garlands, orange and red marigold strands, and draped pink, red and blue fabric with gold trim. In the foreground a smiling man with long dark hair, an orange turban and an orange-saffron shawl over a gold-yellow garment, wearing a green leaf garland and a pink flower garland with a gold necklace, holds an orange flag on a pole. Beside him a bearded man in white with an orange shawl and red forehead mark helps hold the flag. Other people in white and orange stand behind. The man in orange has distinctive long hair, an orange turban and ornate garlands, so he is described as a person, a flag-hoisting or flagging-off role. Visible white water bottles and a mobile phone appear nearby.

Seated people in white and orange sit along the wall.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair stands on an outdoor stage under an orange-brown canopy, smiling and raising one hand in greeting.

To his left, a man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands beside the stage. Behind him, a man in white with a gold-bordered shawl stands, and several bald men in white clothing are visible in the crowd at the bottom edge. Orange draped poles and a white screen are visible on the right, with trees in the background.

Outdoor photograph of a procession crowd. In the foreground a man in an orange turban and orange garment, with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and gold necklaces, smiles while looking to the side. Behind him a woman in an orange top and white garment, another woman in white with a red-and-white scarf, and a woman in white with a dark bun stand close by. Orange flags and a red-and-gold umbrella with red tassels appear above. A probable Swamiji is visible, based on the long hair, orange turban and ornate gold necklaces; he stands among devotees during the procession.
