Night photograph at a white temple entrance with carved stone pillars and a red and gold umbrella overhead. Four men descend stone steps in ritual dress. On the left, a man in white kurta with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala waves a large white fan or chamara-like cloth and holds a small vessel. In the centre, a man in orange saffron robes with a beaded garland carries a small ornate deity murti or shrine casket. Behind him, a man in a yellow shawl walks barefoot. On the right, a bespectacled man in white dhoti and kurta holds a golden kalasha-shaped vessel with both hands. Ornate white stone carvings and a small lantern frame the scene.

Night-time photograph of a ritual procession at a temple entrance beside a white pillar. Three priests in white dhotis and kurtas, with yellow shawls, carry ritual items. The central priest holds a tray with a lamp and offerings, and the left priest holds a lamp. A second man in white holds a large ornate umbrella with red, blue and multicoloured tassels, decorated with a blue bird emblem, over the group, and a whisk-like fan is raised. A man in an orange-and-cream striped polo shirt and khaki trousers stands with hands clasped to the right. Several other figures are partly visible in the background. Dark foliage and a low white wall surround the courtyard.

The man in the centre holds a large red and multicoloured umbrella with fringed tassels over the group. The man on the right carries a brass tray with small lamps and a pink flower. The man on the left holds a long brass staff, and yellow shawls are draped over the shoulders of the left and centre men. Rudraksha-style beaded necklaces are visible, and the front men have red tilak marks on their foreheads. Two more men stand in the background in shadow.

Night photograph of a procession ascending red-and-white striped temple steps decorated with white floral patterns. A bearded man in a rust-orange robe and a multicoloured-flower garland stands centrally on the steps, hands clasped. Behind him a bare-chested attendant in orange and gold cloth holds a large multicoloured umbrella aloft, and another holds a tall orange-and-gold flag on a pole. A man in white dhoti and shawl with a silver staff stands at lower left, and a white-clad man in a gold-bordered dhoti and orange shawl bends forward at right. Several other attendants and women in saffron and pink saris are visible in the background.

A photograph of three men walking along a paved path beside a white building with a palm tree on the left. The man on the left in front wears an orange dhoti and shawl with a long beaded necklace and carries a golden ritual vessel with a red cloth. The middle man wears an orange dhoti and shawl with red borders and holds a conch-shaped object. The man on the right wears white clothing and holds a white fan-like whisk raised above a multicoloured canopy umbrella decorated with tassels and a bird emblem. Steps and green shrubs are in the background. This appears to be a procession or temple-service walk with ritual items.

Night-time procession at a temple courtyard with an ornate palanquin or ratha topped by a decorated canopy and garlanded with flowers. In the foreground, a young man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered cloth, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a red tilak walks forward, and beside him a bald man in saffron robes with eyeglasses and gold beaded necklaces walks. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and red shawl carries a shoulder bag, and several people in white and cream saris and dhotis follow along a dark path lined with hanging tassels and lamps.

Night procession descending red-brick steps lit by bright floodlights, with a rows of black shivalinga-like stone structures and brass pots lining the stairs. In front, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a lantern walks ahead. Centre, a bare-chested man with a large colourful umbrella held over him by an attendant. The central figure wears a rust-brown robe, a long multi-coloured flower garland and a pink-and-white floral necklace, and appears to be a candidate for a person given the flower garland and robe, though appearance is uncertain. Other attendants in orange and white dhotis follow, with string lights and red flags in the background.
