Outdoor procession crossing a riverside bridge with a railing, orange triangular pennants strung overhead and flags on poles along the route. In the foreground a man with long dark hair and swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange hooded top, orange shawl and a beaded necklace with a large pendant, walking forward. Probable Swamiji in saffron/orange clothing with long hair and ceremonial beaded necklace, walking at the front of the procession. Behind him a man in white holds a framed picture of a temple. Other devotees in white dhotis and white caps, a woman in white with a red bindi, and a person in green with red headwrap follow. A river and hillside town lie to the left under hazy sky.

A man in saffron-orange robes walks along a busy riverside promenade, carrying a long silver trident over his left shoulder and wearing a long rudraksha mala with dark beads. He has long, swept-back dark hair and wears sandals. Behind him, a woman in a light blue sari with an orange shawl walks beside a metal railing, and other people in orange and white clothing move through the crowd. Hillside buildings and a temple-like structure with a domed roof rise in the background.

Photograph of a group walking down temple steps of grey stone. In the foreground, a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and white tripundra, wears an orange robe and a heavy gold necklace with a pendant. Beside him, another man with long dark hair and white forehead markings wears an orange robe with maroon border and a gold bead necklace. Behind them, a bald man in a white dhoti holds rudraksha beads, and several women in white and orange saris with white forehead marks follow, along with another orange-robed man. The stone wall behind carries carved relief panels.

A photograph taken on a steep stone stairway with a metal railing, shot from a high angle. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange sannyasi robe and a heavy gold bead necklace descends or climbs the steps, one hand gripping the blue-grey railing. Around them a crowd of devotees and visitors crowds the narrow passage; a man in a white cap and white shirt with a red lanyard stands nearby, and a young woman with long dark hair looks on. A blue bag sits in the lower foreground beside a yellow object. Faded red shutters and peeling walls line the background.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands outdoors in a crowd, holding a silver trident adorned with a white beaded mala. He wears an orange hooded jacket with a matching orange shawl, gold beaded necklaces, and orange-brown dhoti-style trousers. Behind him, orange pennants fly from a pole against a pale sky, with buildings and onlookers in white and orange saris and white kurtas visible. Probable Swamiji by visible cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style beaded mala and gold ornaments, holding a trident in a procession setting.

Outdoor procession on a white and red stepped platform under a clear blue sky. A central man in a red dhoti and red shawl wears a long white and red flower garland and stands barefoot beneath a tall wooden pole topped by a colourful fringed canopy. Behind him stand devotees in white dhotis with orange shawls and rudraksha malas; one man at right in orange robes holds a silver ceremonial vessel with green leaves, and a golden trident rises at the back. At left a man in white holds a wooden box with a pink-garlanded deity murti. Several people are smiling.

A photograph of a procession descending white and red striped steps outdoors under a bright sky. A man in an orange shawl and orange dhoti, with long swept-back dark hair and orange sandals, walks at the centre. Swamiji (probable) based on the long swept-back hair and saffron clothing. A young man on the left in a white kurta and orange dhoti, with rudraksha mala, holds up a red umbrella with tassels over him. Behind, several people in white and cream clothes and rudraksha malas follow. On the right edge, a bearded man in orange robes walks past.
