Photograph taken at night outdoors on a paved walkway. A bearded man in a reddish-brown ochre robe walks centrally, barefoot, with a light chain necklace, hands folded at his sides. A man in orange robes with bare upper body and a long decorated stick holds up a multicoloured fringed parasol with red, green, yellow and blue tassels. Around him, other men in orange dhotis, some bare-chested with white markings on their bodies and beaded necklaces, stand near a dark car, red pillars and a tree wrapped in red and white cloth. Lanterns sit on the ground beside the walkway.

Night procession outdoors on sandy ground under a decorated canopy with colourful tassels. A central figure in a rust-red robe and a long brown rudraksha-style mala is garlanded with a multicolour flower garland and wears a gold pendant necklace and a tilak, appearing to be the honoured figure. Behind him a bearer in an orange cloth holds up a gold-topped umbrella pole, and another man in orange holds a bouquet of white flowers wrapped in green ribbon. A person in a white dhoti and a shawl stands at left holding a phone, and women in red-orange saris and a man in orange walk in the background. a person cues include the garlanded central figure with rudraksha and gold ornaments, but the face and posture are not clearly distinct enough to confirm.

A man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial pendant, wearing a maroon-red robe with jewelled armbands, smiles and gestures toward a young man in orange-red cloth holding a tall wooden staff with a white forehead mark. To the left, a man in orange-red cloth with white body markings holds a coconut and a pink cloth offering. At right, another man in red-orange cloth wears a rudraksha mala. The group appears to be in a ritual procession. a person candidate is the central maroon-robed man with long hair and distinctive adornments, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
