A photograph of a temple procession at a shrine with an open-sided roof and red-and-orange drapes. A man in an orange robe with a long rudraksha mala and a thick white flower garland walks barefoot on a dark red carpet, extending his hands toward people with palms pressed together who bow along the metal railing on the left. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in an orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala carries an orange cloth bundle. Behind them, a gilded shrine holds a deity murti with a red backdrop. Several onlookers in white and yellow clothing stand near the railing. The first man has long swept-back hair and visible ceremonial adornments, so he is a person candidate in the in_person category.

Outdoor photo on a dusty path beside trees, with a red carpet with patterned rug borders laid underfoot. A white-bearded older man in orange robes with a green-and-gold border wears a white and red-blue flower garland and walks barefoot, gesturing with his hand. Beside him a younger man in an orange turban and orange robes with a rudraksha mala presses his palms together in greeting and smiles. Behind them an attendant in white carries a brass tray of flowers and fruit, a man in white shirt and dark trousers carries a bag, and an orange ceremonial flag on a pole is visible. Several other people in white and orange stand nearby.
