A group of about a dozen people walks in a line across a dry, stony field under a pale sky, filmed from a low angle. Most wear white dhotis and white kurtas with yellow or saffron shawls and rudraksha malas. At the centre, a figure in a long saffron-orange robe walks beneath a bright orange umbrella held by a companion in white. Scattered small palms and shrubs line the edge of the field.

A photograph of a procession on a dirt path past stacked grey stone blocks and a stepped stone structure. Many devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas wear orange or saffron shoulder sashes. Several carry orange flags on poles, and others carry decorated parasols with multicoloured fringed canopies and ornate gold-and-red finials. A man in orange robes walks near the centre, and a figure at the right in white clothes and orange sash holds a video camera. Trees and a construction area with a yellow tarp sit in the background. The scene shows a padayatra, a walking pilgrimage.

A group of about 20 people walk along a dirt path under a clear sky with a dry tree and scrubland behind them. At the centre, a woman in a rust-orange sari with a gold border and a long rudraksha mala walks forward. Beside her a figure holds a bright orange umbrella aloft, wearing an orange-brown wrap and beaded necklaces. Others in white kurtas and dhotis, orange stoles and some in red or floral salwar kameez follow, several carrying cloth bags. Trees, a parked car and a hillside form the background.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path beside a stone wall and rocks, under an evening sky with palm and tree foliage. Two red and gold ceremonial umbrellas with tassels are carried above the group. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala walks at centre, holding a book, with a bare-armed attendant in saffron beside him. Around them, young men and boys wear white kurtas and dhotis, several with saffron shawls and rudraksha malas, some carrying umbrella poles. The scene reads as a devotee procession welcoming a returning sannyasi.
