A young boy in a dark blue kurta with a red bindi holds up three red flags on blue poles in an indoor pandal with orange draped fabric and ceiling fans. Each flag bears a printed portrait of a smiling man with a saffron head wrap and long hair; these are printed images on the flags, not physical people. Behind the boy, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and an orange-clad figure stand near a decorated space with statues and a wheeled structure. The setting suggests temple preparation work for an ashram event.

Three red flags on tall bamboo poles flutter against a pale blue sky with clouds. Each flag carries a printed portrait of a smiling woman wearing an orange-saffron turban and orange clothing, with dark hair hanging down. No physical people are visible; the portraits are printed on the flags.

A cultural performance on a red stage inside a decorated pavilion with white drapes and orange hangings. Three men in white kurta-style clothing perform with red and orange flags, one holding a flag high and another with a framed orange-robed picture raised on the right. Behind them a large red-backdropped altar displays a golden decorated ornament and a model of a bull, with an audience seated on the floor at the left. On the right a large banner shows a smiling man wearing an orange turban and orange clothing. A small projection screen hangs at the side.

Low-angle photo of a procession vehicle with a metal railed platform against a pale blue sky. Several red triangular flags on tall poles flutter at the left and right edges. Three people stand on the platform: a man in the foreground at centre-right wears a red turban, a pink and red garment and a multicoloured beaded shawl, and waves with his right hand; a man beside him holds a red and blue umbrella-like canopy aloft; a third figure at the left edge wears a dark turban and red clothing.

A cultural performance on a red-carpeted stage under a white draped canopy in a hall with a seated audience. Three male performers in cream kurta-style clothes stand in dynamic poses: one at center holds a red flag aloft, another at left grips a red flag with a dark maroon shirt, and a third at right raises a framed picture. Behind them is a golden throne-like seat with a golden bull figure and a deity murti decorated with flowers and red drapes, flanked by brass lamps. A large saffron-orange cloth hangs from the ceiling at upper left. Screens and a banner with red and white panels frame the stage.

A red triangular flag on a pole dominates the frame, printed with a smiling woman in an orange-yellow head wrap and a red bindi, her dark hair falling down. Behind it, an orange-and-yellow canopy umbrella with sequined trim and a gold-and-red decorated palanquin-style structure sit among a crowd in procession. Other red flags wave on the right, and orange and white tents stand in the background. Several people in saffron and white clothing are visible at the edges of the crowd.

Three red flags flutter against a pale blue sky with white clouds, mounted on tall bamboo poles atop a flat rooftop. Each flag carries a printed portrait of a smiling figure wearing an orange-saffron turban and orange clothing, with a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair falling over the shoulders. The portraits are printed flags rather than physical people, and no one is visible in the scene.

A night procession of devotees in white dhotis and white saris with red sashes walks along a road, many holding tall poles with red triangular flags. The flags carry printed portrait images of a man with a yellow head covering, and one flag shows a blue and white bird emblem. Behind them stands an illuminated structure with string lights and a framed picture, and a figure in red headwear and white garments appears in the background. Some marchers raise their arms and fists in celebration. Most of the people are visible in the foreground, with a bare-chested man in white clothes and a red sash at the right edge.
