Night photograph in an outdoor courtyard against a warm-lit brick wall with tree shadows. Two saffron-robed sannyasis stand in the foreground: the left one wears a red-orange wrap over a yellow-orange cloth, a beaded rudraksha-style mala and a large ornate jewelled pendant; the right one wears a red-orange shawl, a long beaded mala, a bead bracelet and a jewelled pendant, and holds a small ornate object. Both have shaved heads and light markings on their foreheads. Between them stands a younger man in a plain white dhoti and shirt, holding a long pole. No readable name or caption is visible.

A night-time photograph of a procession near a brick wall and tree. A man in an orange saffron shawl and white-painted forehead walks at centre, holding a red cloth bundle with gold trim, with a dark beaded necklace and a wristwatch. Beside him, a bald man with white-painted face and head wears orange and gold ornaments and a red-draped bundle with gold ornaments. At left, a woman in a white top with an orange shawl and vertical forehead mark stands near a pole. Another man in the background wears white.
