A street procession on a paved road lined with green shrubs and a cream two-storey building. At the centre, a man in orange robes carries on his head a small orange-clad statue or deity murti garlanded with white flowers, beneath a large umbrella with multicoloured tassels and the printed word Nithyanandapeetam. Behind him a man in an orange dhoti and shawl carries an orange cloth bundle. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside, one carrying a white-cloth bundle of flowers on his head, and a boy in white shirt and trousers walks in front holding an orange flag. The scene reads as a padayatra procession moving along a village road.

Outdoors on a dirt path, three men in white dhotis and white shirts dance energetically with raised arms and joyful expressions, with a crowd of devotees lining both sides. The man at center right wears a rudraksha-style pendant on a cord and has his hands up; the man at left holds a small object in one hand. Behind them stands an orange-brown structure, green trees, and a decorated string of leaves. Several onlookers in white and colourful saris stand along the path, and a man in a yellow and black shirt holds a drum.

Outdoor scene on a dirt path lined with palms and trees, with red and orange bunting strung overhead and two colourful umbrellas, one red-and-blue and one pink. A man in a white shirt and grey trousers walks at left beside a bearded man in a salmon-pink robe with one shoulder draped. Several people in white dhotis and saffron/orange shawls stand and walk nearby, one wearing a long orange robe. A mature man in a white shirt and light trousers stands at right under a lamp post. The page indicates a person presence, but the appearance of the bearded man in pink is uncertain, so he is described only by role and appearance.
