Outdoor photo of a crowded festival procession with a bowed man at left wearing a heavy garland of yellow marigolds, white flowers and red blossoms over a band of green leaves, his forehead marked with white vibhuti. Behind him a man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads and a pendant stands among the crowd. A bearded man in a white dhoti with a gold border holds a white-rimmed plate of yellow rice, while a khaki-uniformed police officer leans in beside him. Other devotees in white and checked shirts press around, some holding phones, under a metal canopy with green banana leaves and palm fronds overhead.

A man in a white shirt bends over the pot, holding a small bowl and a spoon, as a bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and a green leaf wreath with white flower garland stands at the left, leaning in with a ladle. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a khaki uniform, and others holding up mobile phones watch and photograph the scene.

Behind him a shirtless young man stands near a metal pole. On the right a figure in orange robes wears a green leaf garland and white floral garland, with a bare-chested bald man in orange beside him. Devotees in white dhotis and bright shirts press forward, many holding up phones and cameras. Marigold garlands and petals litter the ground.

Photograph of a food service line at an outdoor tent with red draped fabric backdrop. A man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe stands at a large steel pot, serving food onto orange plates held by devotees. Other men wear white shirts and white dhotis; a woman in a white floral sari with a yellow flower in her hair holds a plate, and a man wearing a rudraksha mala stands at right. Several cameramen and onlookers appear in the background. Large steel pots of yellow food sit on a long table. The orange-robed server is a candidate for a person in person, but the appearance is uncertain given the distance and partial view.
