Night photo of a procession walking along a paved path, with a red-lit structure in the background. A man in the centre wears an orange turban, an orange robe and a large brown rudraksha mala. Beside him a bearded man in an orange robe with a red-brown mala walks in step. A man on the far right in white dhoti and gold-bordered white shawl holds a tall silver staff, with gold beaded necklaces. Other men in white kurtas, saffron-clad attendants and a figure in white with a red cap stand around. Visible people total roughly a dozen, with several partially visible at the edges.

A photograph taken in a tent with orange-red walls and warm lighting. An elderly sannyasi with a long white beard, wearing an orange robe, a saffron turban and a white beaded mala, steps up onto a raised platform while leaning on a wooden staff, his left hand extended to a bystander. Beside him stands a tall bearded man in a red-orange kurta and a white pendant necklace, looking ahead. Around them, many people in orange and saffron robes, a man in a grey-blue sweater, and a photographer with a camera stand on a blue-and-yellow mat. The person in the foreground is partly visible, bare-shouldered in a white vest. Appearance-based label: the tall bearded man in red-orange clothing is not a clear a person candidate, so no identification is made; the elderly figure in orange with the turban and mala is a priest-like sannyasi.

A procession under a white and orange striped tent canopy. In the foreground a bare-chested man in white dhoti and sash carries a silver trident and wears a heavy gold necklace. Beside him, a man in saffron robes, an orange turban and a large rudraksha mala walks forward. Behind them saffron-clad attendants, one holding a silver staff, and white-clad onlookers fill the frame.

A night-time outdoor event under a decorated canopy with silver tinsel, red fringed trim and green paper decorations. Several saffron-robed men stand and sit in orange clothing. On the left a bearded man with long hair wears an orange robe. Next to him a man in an orange robe and matching turban holds a long wooden staff topped with a ritual finial. Beside him a man with long hair, a dark rudraksha mala and an orange turban stands with hands folded. A seated elderly man with a white-painted forehead and white beard wears orange robes and rests his hand on his chin. On the right a bare-chested devotee in a beaded necklace bows forward. Several other people in orange robes and turbans stand behind them.

Night procession of saffron-clad sannyasis walking along a dim outdoor path past temporary tent structures. In the centre, a bearded man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala smiles and holds hands with a companion. Beside him, a figure in an orange-red turban and saffron robe with a long rudraksha garland and a shawl walks, appearing to be a person by his turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues. On the right, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace holds a tall silver staff. Other devotees in white and saffron follow behind under the night sky.

Outdoor ritual gathering on grass with a seated figure in orange robes, white and pink flower garlands, and a white tilak on the forehead, eyes lowered. Around him, saffron-clad sannyasis and attendants stand and kneel, some bare-chested with rudraksha and gold-bead necklaces. Several hold silver trishul staffs and a silver covered urn stands at center; a man in a grey jacket and pink checked shawl holds a small bowl. Orange and red fabric hangs in the background under a pink canopy. Visible people include a figure in a white tilak and orange cloth at left, a shaved-head attendant with golden mala, and a bearded man in an orange dhoti with a rudraksha mala at right, most of them plausibly sannyasis or devotees; the seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person candidate but not distinctive enough to confirm.

A night-time outdoor procession near a red-and-white striped tent. In the centre, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a long-haired figure in an orange turban and reddish-brown robe walk side by side, followed by saffron-clad sannyasis. On the right, a man in white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and gold necklace holds a tall silver staff. Several devotees in white and saffron surround them, with a man in a white cap at the back.
