A procession outdoors with a central figure wearing a long white and red flower garland of roses and marigolds with green leaves, gold necklaces and a dark wooden bead mala, a red tilak on the forehead and white ash marks. Around him, several shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls with gold-bordered edges wear gold chains and rudraksha or bead malas; one holds a tray of offerings. Decorated flags with floral designs and a blue-and-gold canopy appear in the background, with a hill behind.

Inside a temple doorway with dark stone walls and colourful painted columns, two men in saffron-orange and rust-brown dhoti-and-shawl garments stand garlanded with white flower and red rose garlands. The man at centre-left raises both arms high, palms open, and wears a rudraksha mala and gold necklace with a head band. Beside him a smiling man in a red-brown garment and gold necklace holds his hands in namaste near the chest. Bare-chested men in white dhotis stand around them, one with a rudraksha mala, and a bald man in orange stands behind. A dark statue-like form is partly visible at lower left.

Four men stand together in a dim temple doorway, all in orange-saffron robes. On the right, a smiling man with long dark hair, a gold crown-band, red and white flower garlands and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace raises one hand in greeting; the person on the far right looks like Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, crown, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace. Beside him, an older man with a white-painted forehead, a red-and-white garland and dark rudraksha beads smiles. A bald man in orange with a gold chain and red forehead mark stands behind them, and a partly visible person is at the edge. The page lists the setting as a Kanchanoor temple visit, but nothing visible establishes that place.

Six smiling men stand close together in a hall with maroon curtains and a patterned floor covering. Five wear saffron-orange and maroon robes with gold-coloured borders, bare shaved heads with white ash markings, gold neck garlands and rudraksha malas; one wears white dhoti-style clothing with a long necklace, and a rudraksha mala hangs from his shoulders. The man second from the right raises a hand in greeting. A figure in dark clothing is partly visible at the bottom left. A metal bowl is held by the man at far right. Orange and patterned banners hang from the top of the frame.

Outdoor procession of saffron-robed devotees under bright daylight. A man in the centre wears a brown-and-gold dhoti-style garment, a long rudraksha mala, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace and a red bindi, with long swept-back hair; he is smiling and is an appearance-based a person candidate. Around him, shaven-headed men in orange and saffron cloth carry rudraksha malas; two on the left hold long poles topped with orange-and-red fringed ceremonial umbrellas bearing a bird emblem, and a man on the right holds a silver vessel on a tray decorated with a coconut or fruit, marigolds and leaves. Brick walls and a few onlookers are visible behind.
