A man in a white dhoti and white top carries a large covered brass pot or kalasha with green leaves on his head, walking barefoot. Beside him, a musician in a white shirt and dhoti plays a long wind instrument. Other men in white dhotis walk behind, one with hands joined in greeting. Visible people number five or six, all in white ritual clothing.

A photograph of a dirt path beside a red brick wall with green gate and tall trees behind. A man in white dhoti and white shirt walks barefoot carrying a large white-wrapped bundle on his head, with a garland or offering visible. Women in white saris with gold borders walk ahead, one carrying a green bag, and several men in white dhotis and white shirts follow, some with red-bordered cloth. Bamboo leaves frame the right edge. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person; all are devotees in white ritual attire.

An evening procession on a dirt road at an ashram, with devotees in white dhotis and kurtas carrying a large orange-draped palanquin on wooden poles. The bald man in front in white shirt and dhoti smiles while carrying the front pole; a man in white on the right carries another pole, and a plaid-shirted man walks behind. Behind them, others in white and a woman in a yellow sari carry a red-banded staff and a ceremonial standard, with an orange flag fluttering. A red-and-green roofed building and trees frame the scene under a partly cloudy sky.

No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, and the scene shows only devotees and attendants in the line.
