Outdoor photo on a paved area beside a red hatchback and a grey car decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands on its bonnet. A bald man in orange robes with an orange turban embraces a man with long dark hair who wears an orange robe and orange shawl; the embraced figure is a person, identified by long swept-back hair, orange robes and turban and bare-chested ceremonial presentation, and the embracing man is a devotee. Around them, men in white kurtas and orange shawls stand with hands folded in greeting, and a man in a blue shirt and glasses presses his palms together. Banana plants and a low wall are behind them, with a corrugated roof visible at the top right.

Outdoor photograph on a tree-lined path with a crowd of men and women in white dhotis, white shirts and saffron-coloured robes. At left, a man with a saffron-orange turban and long dark hair presses his palms together in greeting and smiles. Beside him, a man in a red shirt with a blue rosette badge walks along, and a man with long hair and a beard wears an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and joins his hands. On the right, several women in white and cream saris with gold bangles stand with palms pressed together, and a woman holds up a silver vessel. A white-draped table holds a brass bowl of green leaves, a flower garland and a small silver dish.

Outdoor procession under a golden parasol with a palm tree behind. A central man with a shaved-head look wears a dark maroon-brown wrapped garment, a long gold-bead and rudraksha-style mala, and a thick red and yellow marigold garland with white flower strands. Beside him on the left, an older man in an orange shawl and white dhoti wears a white jasmine garland and holds his hands together. Flanked by saffron-robed priests and men in white shirts, many with flower garlands, some raising hands. A wooden palanquin pole and an ornate fan-shaped canopy appear at top right. Saffron and orange clothing dominates the scene; the central figure's appearance does not clearly establish the a person identity.

Outdoor procession under a multicoloured canopy umbrella with fringed tassels, beside palm trees and a large silver trishul. In the centre, a man in orange robes, a matching orange turban and a long pink-and-white flower garland smiles as he walks forward, hands folded at his waist. A second man in an orange turban and white flower garland stands beside him, and a bearded man in orange robes with a beaded necklace is at right. A figure in orange robes at left holds a brass plate of flowers. Devotees in white clothes and orange shawls stand around, several with palms pressed together in greeting. Embroidered orange and red banners hang beside the umbrella.
