Outdoor photograph of a crowded dirt-road procession lane lined with devotees on both sides, many in white dhotis and mundus and women in bright saris of orange, yellow and pink. In the foreground a man in a red shirt with a gold-bordered yellow shawl stands facing away. Two-storey white buildings with orange trim and blue circular logos flank the lane, with orange flags and string lights overhead. Bunting and green banana leaves decorate the entrance. Many people are visible, with a crowd extending into the background, consistent with a welcome procession at a new ashram campus.

A dense crowd of men and women gathers outdoors on a street in front of a building with a tree and a silver minivan parked behind them. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, some with lanyards, while women wear sarees in pink, red, mustard and blue. A woman in the foreground with folded hands smiles in greeting, and a figure in an orange top holds a video camera at right. A woman in a red top stands at lower right.

Outdoor street photograph of a residential road in front of a pink and cream multi-storey house with a palm tree and a parked white minibus labelled Vinayaga Travels. A large group of devotees stands in two lines along the roadside: women in saris of yellow, orange, red and maroon, some holding flowers, and men in white dhotis and shirts. At the right edge a man in a white dhoti plays a large drum, and near the centre a man in an orange garment stands with the group. Two motorbikes and a scooter are parked at the left. The group appears to be waiting for an arrival on the road.

A large procession moves along a narrow village street between white two-storey houses with red-tiled roofs, orange flags and a tree in the background. Many women in saffron, yellow and orange saris carry brass trays and baskets of offerings on their heads, including bananas, pineapple and fruit. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk among them, and a small child is held by a woman in the foreground. In the centre, a man in an all-white outfit walks near the front of the procession. Overhead wires and dry branches lie along the roadside.
