The central person wears a red-orange robe and a long garland of white and blue flower strands, and carries a small light. Flanking figures in white dhotis and orange cloths walk in the crowd, with an illuminated gateway and a domed structure in the background. A swami-like figure with long hair and ornate saffron clothing appears on the left edge; this is an appearance-based candidate only.

A night-time outdoor procession on a gravel path, lit by bright white lights. In the centre, two women in orange-red saris stand under a small ornate parasol or umbrella, one wearing a garland of white flowers. Behind them a line of people in orange and white garments stands in rows toward a glowing orange-lit structure and dark trees. A man in plain white kurta walks at the left edge of the frame.

Night procession on a dirt path lit by a bright floodlight and a small handheld torch. A central figure in a rust-red robe with a bright blue and white garland walks forward, with a dark ceremonial parasol held above them. Around them, people in white dhotis and red-orange robes with yellow borders walk in a loose group. A glowing wooden gateway stands in the background beside trees and a brick wall. The central figure has no clearly visible saffron or ornate cues confirming identity, so the identity is uncertain.
