Outdoors on dry, sandy ground, a silver Ford SUV with a driver visible through the windshield is stopped beside a red metal shelter frame. In the foreground, several people stand watching: a man in a white shirt and white trousers, a man in an orange robe seen from behind, and a young boy in a blue shirt. Another person in an orange robe steps out from the rear door of the vehicle. Trees, parked cars and a few distant buildings are visible in the background, along with a small figure in orange near the far side of the field.

A silver-grey SUV parked in a dirt courtyard in front of a multi-storey orange-and-cream building with balconies. The vehicle's front is draped in a long garland of orange, yellow and white flowers, with small flower decorations on the side mirror and windows. A figure in an orange robe with long dark hair stands in the open driver's door. A group of about fifteen people stands to the right, including women in white, cream and orange saris and men in white dhotis and shirts, several with their hands pressed together in greeting. A small notice sign is mounted on the building wall at the left.

A man in a saffron-orange robe with an orange shawl and a red tilak on his forehead stands centrally holding scissors to an orange ribbon, smiling. Beside him on the right, a young man with reddish hair wears a yellow shawl over a maroon top and white dhoti and holds a tray. Behind them, several people in white dhotis and orange shawls stand, with one woman in a white sari and orange shawl clapping. A silver SUV, a red tractor and a dirt yard with construction materials are visible outside. Saffron-robed man appears to be the presiding figure; the centre figure is a person by appearance cues of saffron robe and orange shawl, with a tilak and no crown or malas visible.

A silver Ford SUV with its doors open is decorated with a long garland of marigolds and red and white flowers across its bonnet, with small floral pieces on the mirror and windows. A man with long dark hair and an orange shawl stands beside the open door, smiling, with a bald man in white beside him. A group of devotees in white and saffron/orange clothing stands on a dirt yard in front of an orange-walled building with balconies, several with hands pressed together in greeting. A red curtain hangs in the doorway behind them. The scene suggests a welcome of an arriving vehicle, with the garlanded car at the centre.

A photograph taken outdoors on a dusty ground beside a silver SUV decorated with orange cloth ribbons and purple flowers. A man in white kurta and white dhoti with an orange shawl stands beside the vehicle. Next to him, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe with gold border and a rudraksha-style necklace, facing him. To the right, a bare-chested man with his hair tied up wears a green shawl, gold-bordered white dhoti and beaded necklaces. In the background a woman in white sari stands near a white van under a blue metal-framed shelter. The a person field is unsure because the figure in saffron has long hair and orange clothing, but the face and build are not clear enough for a confident identification.

A man in orange robes and an orange wrap stands by the open door of the truck, adjusting his ear and looking toward the group. Next to him a person in an orange sleeveless robe with an orange head wrap and long dark hair gestures with one hand while speaking. Behind them stand shaved-headed men in white dhotis and orange or yellow shawls, and men in white and collared shirts. Several bystanders in the foreground look on. The fence and buildings show red and white colours.
