Several men in plain white shirts and dhotis raise their arms and smile; one in a striped shirt with a red-beaded mala stands at upper right, and a partly visible man in white is at top left. Water sprays around them.

Five men are bathing and playing in the shallow brown river water near a riverbank, with a wooden boat with a purple cover and two rowers at upper left and a large grey vessel at upper right. A man in a white sleeveless vest and a beaded necklace stands at centre raising his fists and smiling, while a bare-chested man at left with a grey-smeared torso and a cord necklace claps his hands together. Others are partly submerged in the water, one in a dark top and one bare-chested with long hair. The setting is a riverside bathing scene during daylight, with a taut rope stretched across the water.

Photograph of a large group of devotees standing waist-deep in a water tank, many with palms pressed together in namaste or holding hands in a chain. Most wear white clothing such as white salwar kameez, white shirts and white dhotis, with some wearing rudraksha-style beaded necklaces; a woman in a red top stands further back, and a man in a purple head covering appears at the top left. The water is murky and the scene suggests a ritual bathing or sacred immersion. No single figure is identifiable as a person in this crowd, so no candidate is marked.

A photograph of devotees bathing waist-deep in a stone-walled tank of water, many smiling or shouting with joy. Most wear white shirts or orange and saffron garments, and some have red and white prayer threads or a red tilak on the forehead. A man in the centre wears a white shirt and a red tilak. A devotee at lower centre wears a garland of red and white flowers over a yellow shawl. On the right, a man in a white top holds a small tiered brick-like model in both hands, and a woman in orange stands at the upper right. Water splashes around the group.

A photograph of a large crowd wading in shallow water, many in white clothes with rudraksha malas and orange shawls, gathered around a central figure with long dark hair in an orange garment. Several men with orange sashes and white kurtas surround them, some smiling and reaching toward the centre. Behind them, a decorated wooden palanquin draped in colourful cloth and garlands is carried above the water, with a person in white lifting it. The scene looks like a river or temple tank procession during a festival, with splashing water and devotees pressing close.

A group of men stand waist-deep in a river or lake with sunlit water around them, performing a ritual bath. Several wear saffron-orange cloths: a man at left with long dark hair, a central man with a dark rudraksha mala draped over his orange wrap, and a bearded man at right. A man in a white shirt with a yellow shawl stands behind them, a shirtless man stands further back, and a man in a pink checked shirt raises a cloth overhead while wringing water. The central figure has his hands raised in a gesture while water splashes around them.
