Outdoor street scene on a residential road with two-storey stucco houses and palm trees behind. A white minivan has its rear hatch open, and an orange-robed sannyasi stands inside the back with his back to the camera, next to a man in white dhoti and green-bordered shawl. A woman in a turquoise sari holds a small brass vessel and a yellow cloth while a man in white ritual clothes beside her offers it, and a woman in a pale sari stands at left beside a yellow van. Another man in a white shirt stands near the car. The scene suggests a ritual send-off of arriving or departing devotees.

A white minivan has its rear hatch open, revealing a decorated deity murti seated in the cargo area, draped in blue and red cloth and adorned with floral garlands. A man in saffron-orange draped clothing, bare-chested with a sacred thread and wrapped cloth, walks away from the vehicle toward the right. Trees, hedges, parked cars and low buildings line the lot.

Outdoor photo on a suburban residential street lined with stucco houses, palm trees and parked cars. A man in a bronze-gold kurta with white pants stands centre-left holding a silver kalasha-style vessel with yellow flowers, beside a woman in a bright red saree. A line of devotees in saris and salwar kameez stands along both sides of the road, and children in red and blue dresses watch. This appears to be a welcoming or puja procession outside a home.

The rear hatch is open and a deity murti or decorated idol rests inside. Two women walk across the lot toward the van: one wears an orange sari and the other a white sari with a green border, carrying something from the vehicle. Bare trees and multi-storey apartment buildings stand behind the wall under an overcast sky.

A photograph taken at an open car boot of a white SUV, where a small gold-coloured murti is seated on the rear seat, wearing a red-orange crown-like headpiece, a multicoloured flower garland and a blue and maroon silk drape over a gold-embroidered cloth. A bearded man in white ritual clothing with a rudraksha mala stands at left, and a woman in orange robes leans into the car to tend the murti. Other hands and figures are partly visible at the edges, and a lamp-lit doorway is behind them. Printed copyright text overlays the image.
