Night procession with drummers in the foreground. A man at left wears orange clothing, a saffron shawl with gold trim, long dreadlocks and beaded necklaces, playing a drum. Beside him, a young drummer in orange and a bare-chested man in white dhoti with gold border play frame drums. A bare-chested boy with rudraksha malas drums in the centre, and dancers in orange and red saris surround them. Red and gold umbrellas and ceremonial parasols rise in the background under a floodlight, with a crowd of onlookers at the edges.

Night procession on a paved street. Several drummers in saffron-orange dhotis and orange shawls with gold borders play large drums, and some wear rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. Behind them, a lit deity murti sits in an ornate golden shrine on a decorated float beneath a lit arch, with ornamental umbrellas in red and gold above. White-clad devotees walk in the background, and a yellow-and-red banner edges the right side.

Night photograph of a drumming procession on sandy ground. Several men play large hand drums, each with a wooden stick, while walking together. The drummers wear saffron-orange cloths with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and some wear white cloths with gold borders; several have white tilak marks on their foreheads. A tall brass horn is raised at the left and dim lights and figures appear in the background. The scene reads as a temple festival procession rather than an identifiable event, and no Swamiji appearance is visible.

A night procession on a stone-paved path lit by distant lamps. In the foreground a man in white dhoti with a white tripundra on his forehead holds a long silver-tipped staff topped with a fringed canopy. Four drummers in saffron-orange garments with gold borders and rudraksha malas beat large hand drums. Behind them, several people in white robes and orange cloth walk among floral garlands and decorated structures. The scene shows a temple-style procession at night.

Night photograph of a drumming group in orange and saffron dhotis with gold borders performing on a paved stone courtyard. Several men play large drums: a red-and-gold barrel drum held by the left and right performers, a green drum held by a man in the back, and a small round frame drum held by the central dancer, who wears rudraksha malas. A white-clad drummer on the right, with a white headband and white dhoti, plays a red drum. A bright flashlight or floodlight from the upper centre lights the scene against dark foliage.
