Outdoor procession on a dirt ground with a hill and trees behind. A bare-chested man with a long garland of white flowers and a red-brown dhoti walks barefoot along a blue-striped cloth path. Two attendants in white dhotis carry ornate orange-and-red decorated parasols with peacock-like emblems, and a multicoloured umbrella stands above the center. Drummers and a horn player in white dress stand at the left, and a crowd of devotees in white shirts and dhotis, plus a woman in a patterned sari, lines the right side. Visible people: about ten, and the central walker may be a candidate with a garland but his face and features are not verifiable.

He wears a saffron-red dhoti-style garment, a garland of white flowers, a gold chain and a dark beaded necklace; his long dark hair is swept back. Two attendants in white saris with gold borders hold orange-and-gold ceremonial umbrellas with floral and bird motifs, and a third umbrella in red and multicolour stands behind him.

Outdoor photograph of a procession on a dusty red dirt road at dusk. Many people in white dhotis and saris walk behind a decorated chariot-style float topped with a golden structure and colourful canopies with jewel-toned fringes. A drummer in a red shirt with a green-and-red drum slung at his hip walks in the foreground, and a man in a blue shirt and orange dhoti plays a horn beside him. Orange-robed participants walk among the crowd, and blue portable toilet units and trees stand in the background.

A procession on a paved walkway lined with a woven mat runner. A bearded man in a rust-orange robe and rudraksha mala walks centrally, wearing a large white flower garland, with a multicoloured fringed canopy held over him on a tall pole. Around him, drummers and horn players in orange lungis and beaded necklaces, some with white body markings, march alongside. A man in a white dhoti and shawl walks to the right carrying a flower offering. Probable Swamiji is the central figure under the canopy, identified by the rudraksha mala, long hair and rust-orange robe, with the procession marking a ceremonial walk.

A large outdoor procession moves along a dirt road lined with palm trees under a clear evening sky. Ornate orange and red umbrella-like canopies with embroidered panels are carried on long poles, and a decorated palanquin-style float is visible in the distance. A bearded man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace walks near the centre, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl carries a brass tray of flowers and offerings. A man in white with a drum-like instrument plays at the front right, and many participants wear white dhotis and orange or yellow shawls.

A procession on a dirt path under a red canopy with decorated umbrellas in orange, red and green with floral borders. At centre a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a long white and red flower garland and walks barefoot-looking sandals; his appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. Around him, men and women in white dhotis and shirts walk, some with rudraksha malas. A woman in a red and gold sari plays a long wind instrument, and a drummer in white beats a large drum on the left. Onlookers stand behind a wooden barrier.
