Outdoor procession at dusk on a paved court, with palm trees and a pinkish sky behind. A man in the centre wears a rust-red shawl over an orange robe and a white-and-red flower garland with a long white tassel, speaking as he walks. Behind him, a man holds a long-handled umbrella with a fringed red canopy, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange cloth with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings carries a tall staff. Other saffron-robed men walk and play a drum and a horn, and a man on the right in white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-white tilak carries a brass tray with a kalasha pot topped with green leaves. The scene reads as a ritual procession.

A procession on a paved courtyard with palm trees behind. At the centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears a large red and white garland, a heavy gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, and a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl. Two bare-chested attendants in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas walk beside him, one raising a parasol-like umbrella with a teal and orange canopy and gold finials. Behind them, a woman in an orange-red sari and other devotees in white and orange walk along, some with palms pressed together in namaste. Onlookers stand along the edge of the path. Yellow-and-red banners with a red emblem hang from poles.

Dusk procession on a dirt path with palm trees and a lit float in the background. A central man in rust-red robes and a white-and-red flower garland over a brown rudraksha-bead necklace smiles and walks forward. To his left a bare-chested young man in orange with a white forehead mark holds a tall gold staff, and behind them a red and gold canopy with fringe is held aloft. Several other people in orange and saffron robes, rudraksha malas and marigold garlands walk in the procession, and one man on the far left raises a camera on a pole. The scene reads as a ritual parade.

Photograph of a ceremonial procession at night under a large fringed canopy with a gold pole. A central man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl wears a gold necklace, a patterned cloth turban with a crescent ornament, and a red and white tilak; he walks with hands folded along a striped runner. Behind him a shirtless man in orange garments holds a pink and white decorated kalasha with a green leaf bouquet, and several men in orange and maroon dhotis with white tilak and bead malas walk alongside. On the right, women in white saris and orange garments stand with palms pressed together in namaste, some wearing rudraksha malas and forehead markings.

Outdoor procession on a paved walkway with palm trees and a parked white car behind. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a crown-like headpiece, a rudraksha-style gold beaded necklace, a brown leopard-print shawl over saffron-orange robes, and a large red and white flower garland walks barefoot with palms pressed together in greeting. Swamiji (probable): this central figure shows the long hair, ornate gold necklaces, and saffron-orange ceremonial clothing that match the candidate's presentation. Around him, saffron-robed men with white forehead markings carry tall poles topped by ornate yellow and red canopy umbrellas, and a man in white dhoti holds a large brass kalasha pot. Devotees in white with folded hands line the route, and a man in white holds a camera. Colourful kolam patterns decorate the ground.
