Outdoor arrival scene on a dirt path beside a silver-grey SUV. A smiling figure in orange saffron robes and a long multicolour flower garland waves with one raised hand, a red bindi on the forehead and gold-bead necklaces around the neck. Around them, devotees in orange and white stand with palms pressed in namaste; a bearded man in orange robes and garlands greets the figure, a man in white dhoti with gold border stands at right, and a bald man in orange cloth holds a brass item. Behind, a cameraman films and a red-and-gold ceremonial flag or umbrella appears at upper right, with a brick wall and trees in the background.

A procession outdoors on a dirt path in front of a parked silver SUV and a brick wall. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a white tilak wears an orange robe, layered gold necklaces and a long white-and-green flower garland, smiling and raising one hand; the figure is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces. Flanking him, shaved-headed men in orange dhotis with gold necklaces carry a silver kalasha decorated with red flower garlands and mango leaves, and one holds a tall wooden staff. On the left, a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a wooden staff, and on the right a man in white shirt and dhoti holds a silver staff topped with a bird finial. The scene resembles a ritual procession with a kalasha.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and stands at the car's side with his hands extended toward an older woman in white sari with an orange shawl, who holds a silver tray of flowers and a silver pot. A woman in an orange sari and a rudraksha mala stands at right holding a silver plate of marigolds and lit oil lamps. Behind them, a man in white, a seated older man with folded hands, and children watch beneath banana plants, a chain-link fence and a string of orange and red pennants. The scene is an arrival-style welcome with a ritual aarti.

Outdoor welcome on a tree-lined road with parked white vehicles behind. A man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a long yellow-green bead garland stands at centre, smiling and reaching toward a brass-and-flower tray held by a man in white dhoti and shirt. Beside him a bare-chested priest in white dhoti holds a yellow-decorated kalasha wrapped in red flower garlands, and a man in white shirt and orange shawl stands close. A man in white shirt kneels in the foreground, and a basket of red flowers is held on the right. The orange-robed figure is a person appearance-based candidate with saffron robe, long swept hair and a bead garland, shown as welcomed by the devotees, so a person is in_person.
