A street procession on a dirt road in bright sunlight. Several men in white dhotis and kurtas carry tall wooden poles topped with decorated umbrellas and fringed canopies in red, yellow and green with floral motifs. Behind them, saffron-robed sannyasis walk in a line; the central figure holds a trident and wears a white and red flower garland, with a long saffron shawl. Orange flags fly on the right, and a row of women and girls in white clothing with rudraksha malas follows. A woman in a white sari with an orange border stands at the right edge. The scene reads as a religious procession.

A procession on a dirt path in bright sunlight. At the centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes and a long white flower garland walks with hands folded, flanked by saffron-clad sannyasis carrying a tall trident-topped staff.

Behind him, a woman in orange sari and rudraksha mala walks beside a printed portrait on a pole of a man with long hair, a red turban, and a bare chest. Other participants in orange, saffron, and white robes, some barefoot, follow in a ritual procession.

A procession outdoors under an overcast sky with a metal scaffold structure behind. In the centre, a man in a maroon-red turban and maroon robe, with a garland of white flowers and gold necklaces, holds a long staff topped with a trident, with a large red and gold ceremonial umbrella overhead. Around him, devotees in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, some with rudraksha malas, stand with raised hands or joined palms, and men in white dhotis with gold borders walk nearby. Another striking red and yellow umbrella with tassels is visible to the right, and a young man in a saffron shawl gazes upward in devotion. The scene suggests a ritual procession.
