A procession of devotees in white clothing walks along a dirt path in morning light, carrying tall saffron-orange flags with dark emblems on long poles. Several women wear white saris with gold borders, and a child in a dark jacket walks in front. Some participants carry palm fronds and decorated staffs topped with ornaments, and a colourful striped parasol-style canopy rises at the right. Parked vehicles and trees appear in the background under a clear sky.

Many people in white clothing walk in a long column, several carrying tall poles with saffron-orange flags bearing a blue emblem. Some participants in front hold brass or decorated offering vessels. Orange and yellow ceremonial umbrellas or palanquin canopies appear in the background, and a concrete wall runs along the left side of the road.

A procession on a dirt path moves past a red-brick building and trees under an overcast sky. At the centre, a decorated palanquin with a tall golden kalasha-like finial, colourful garlands, gold fringe and a canopy is carried forward. Men and women in white dhotis, kurtas and saris walk alongside, many holding red flags on poles and ornate orange-and-gold banners. A bearded man with long dark hair in a white dhoti with a gold border leads at left, wearing a rudraksha-style mala, while a woman in white at right holds an orange bag. Several men in white shirts and trousers wear ID lanyards, and a man in a blue turban walks among them. Visible people number roughly 30, and the palanquin contains no clearly identifiable figure.

A dusty dirt road lined with palm trees and small houses in warm early-morning light, with a procession moving toward the distance. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts carry red-orange flags with a dark emblem on tall poles along both sides of the road. In the foreground, a shaven-headed monk in orange robes and a garland of white flowers walks with his back to the camera, and a man holds a long wooden pole. A few onlookers in dark and red clothing stand in the middle of the road. Stop-motion-free, plain documentary scene of a village procession.

Many participants wear white ritual clothing and white dhotis, while others wear casual clothes such as a blue shirt, a green t-shirt, grey trousers and a dark jacket. Several women carry orange and tan shoulder bags. A procession-like flag march is taking place, with a red-roofed building visible in the background. No clear a person candidate is identifiable from appearance, so the figure's presence is uncertain.

Women in saffron, white and turquoise saris walk alongside, one in a white sari with a grey border holding a flag. Behind them a brown truck, palm trees and utility poles line the road under an overcast sky. Several women wear white blouses and sandals, and some in western casual clothes walk among them.

A large procession of devotees walks along a dirt road lined with coconut palms and a low concrete wall. Many participants wear white dhotis, kurtas and sarees, while others wear saffron-orange garments. Several carry tall red-orange flags on poles, and colourful striped umbrellas are raised above the crowd. Drummers and musicians with hand drums walk in the middle of the group. A man in a blue shirt and dark trousers walks on the right beside a man in a light checked lungi. A garden hose lies across the lower right foreground. The scene appears to be a flag-hoisting or deity procession during a festival.
