Night-time outdoor photo of a large crowd walking on reddish-brown dirt ground. Most people wear white shirts and white dhotis or white kurtas, with a few in darker or patterned clothing. A white van stands at left, and a red-orange flag on a tall pole rises at right against a dark sky. A small potted plant sits in the foreground. The crowd is moving across the ground in a loose procession.

A night procession on a dirt path. Two drummers in the foreground play large barrel drums, one in a red-and-white checked shirt and white dhoti, the other in a light blue shirt holding a small hand cymbal. Behind them, a central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala walks under a fringed umbrella-style canopy with red trim, flanked by devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls. A man in white on the right carries a red kalasha pot on his head, and others carry brass lamps on poles. Dark trees and scattered lights frame the scene.

A night-time photograph of a crowd walking along an unpaved dirt road in procession. A bald, shirtless man in a white dhoti with an orange-red cloth over his shoulder walks in front, carrying a red cloth bundle. Behind him, a figure in orange robes with a long wooden staff topped by a decorated banner leads the group. Many devotees in white dhotis and sarees, some with yellow shawls and orange-red sashes, follow closely. A trident-like staff is visible among the marchers. The background is dark, lit only by scattered lights.

Behind them, a lit ratha/chariot with illuminated golden kalasha-shaped towers and a deity murti stands among a large crowd of devotees in white and saffron clothing. A white rope barrier runs across the frame. A man in a maroon-and-gold dhoti at left faces the procession. Strings of lights and a tent canopy frame the scene.
