A photo of a dusty dirt path leading through an entrance flanked by a white wall and red flags on tall poles with banana plants. A group of about twenty-five devotees walks toward the gate in single file. Women wear saris in blue, orange, pink and green, and men wear white kurtas and dhotis; one man in front wears an orange shawl. Several participants carry small items and one holds a bundle. Red flags and banana trees line the entrance. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable among the walkers.

A photograph of a dusty dirt approach to a walled compound with orange-red walls and a green metal gate. Red flags flutter on poles along the wall and a pair of banana plants frame the entrance. A line of people walks toward and through the gate in colourful clothing: women in saris and salwar kameez in pink, yellow, purple and green, and men in white kurtas and dark trousers. Stacked shipping containers stand behind the wall under a pale sky.

A dirt-path procession of many people in white clothing, many carrying orange-red flags with a emblem, walks along a bamboo-and-rope barrier lined with banana plants. A white van and a tall orange gateway with a small domed shrine stand to the right, under a cloudy sky with trees. A man in white walks alone toward the right foreground, and a man in white is partly visible at the bottom edge.

A dirt path lined with red flags strung on bamboo poles and white garlands leads through a rural ashram entrance. Saffron-robed sannyasis walk in a group, several wearing rudraksha malas and marigold garlands, one in a light orange wrap with long dark hair and another with a white beard carrying a bare-shouldered orange cloth. Men in white shirts and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, walk alongside and guide the group, one gesturing with an outstretched hand. Peach-coloured buildings and palm-like foliage frame the scene under a pale sky. The group appears to be processing into the ashram grounds.

A photograph of a procession on a dirt road lined with banana trees strung with red and orange bunting. Many people in white and cream clothing walk in a long line, while women in saris and salwar, including one in a blue sari and another in yellow, follow on the left and carry metal vessels. Several saffron-orange and red flags with a blue emblem fly on poles above the procession. A hazy hill and a multi-storey building appear in the background under a clear blue sky.

A dusty dirt road lined with tall banana plants whose leaves are tied with red and orange flags, leading through an outdoor festival area with orange pennants and banners. A long crowd walks down the road: in the foreground a man in a white shirt and a woman in an orange sari with a red blouse, behind them women in bright saris and a girl in blue, and further back more people in white clothes. A grey car moves slowly among the walkers. Small orange-and-white buildings and a water tank stand at left under a clear sky.

A procession of devotees walks along an unpaved dirt road at dusk, led by tall poles carrying saffron-orange flags with a round emblem. Many people wear white ritual clothing: men in white kurtas and dhotis, women in white saris and salwar kameez, and some in pastel tones. Decorative umbrellas and ceremonial standards are visible among the flags. Open ground, low buildings and hills stand in the background, and power lines run overhead.

A dirt road lined by palm trees and a low concrete wall runs toward a white tent in the background. A procession of people in white traditional clothing walks along it, many carrying tall red flags with blue trim on poles. Two men on the left play hand drums, one in a light blue shirt and one in a red shirt. A woman in a white sari with a maroon border walks at the front right holding a flag, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks beside another woman in a white sari. A young man in a white shirt faces away in the foreground. Several white canopy shelters stand on the left side of the road.
