Night outdoor photo of a group of men in white shirts and white dhotis, with rudraksha malas around their necks, walking and talking. A tall man in saffron-orange robes and a hood with a white tilak on his forehead, wearing a large gold-toned necklace and holding a long bamboo staff, smiles while speaking with a man in white. Another man in white with a long beard stands nearby, with a bystander's face partly visible at right. The man at far left wears a red tilak mark and an ID badge on a lanyard, and a few elderly onlookers stand in the background. The setting is dark and crowded. The robed man is a sannyasi-style figure; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A photograph inside a long temple corridor with tall carved stone pillars and fluorescent lights overhead. A tall young man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a flower crown, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a large gold pendant, stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him an elderly man in saffron cloth and glasses smiles with folded hands, holding a bundle of flowers. Men in white shirts walk alongside, and other saffron-robed devotees and onlookers fill the background. The name tag and page are not visible in the scene.

A barefoot procession moves through a dim temple corridor at night. A central man wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a long gold-beaded necklace, gold armbands, and a red tilak on his forehead; he appears to be the focus of the group. Around him, men in saffron robes wear rudraksha malas, and a man in a white kurta carries a tall ceremonial staff topped with an ornament. Others in white dhotis and light shirts walk alongside, some with rudraksha beads and tilak marks, while a man in a teal shirt with a mala follows at right. The stone floor and pillars suggest a temple interior.

Night outdoor photo of a man with long dark hair and a white-and-red forehead marking, wearing an orange sleeveless robe and a large necklace of yellow-gold beads with a golden pendant, speaking into a handheld microphone. He has the look of a sannyasi giving a discourse. Three men flank him: on the left a man in a white shirt with a sandalwood and kumkum forehead mark, behind him a man in glasses, and on the right a bespectacled man in a white shirt with a vibhuti forehead mark. A street lamp and palm fronds appear in the dark background. The photo is labelled with a Flyers Photos Of The Day caption on the page, but no event text is visible in the frame.

Night procession at a temple, with a crowd walking along a dim path under a lit lamp. In the foreground a man in white shirt and dhoti walks beside a man in white with an orange shawl and forehead marks. At right, a figure in orange robes wears a long necklace of yellow beads and a gold pendant, with white forehead marking and long hair swept back, walking beside another man in orange robes. Several white-clad devotees and orange-clad attendants surround them.

A night street procession at a temple. In the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange wrap and turban, with a long white and red flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, stands amid a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis, several wearing orange shawls. Men on the left and right reach out with hands extended toward him. Behind them an ornate golden palanquin or canopy shrine with red and gold drapes holds a deity murti decorated with garlands. White and orange flags and a string of lights are visible overhead. The figure is a candidate for the a person by appearance cues: orange turban and wrap, ceremonial garland and beads, presented with honour amid devotees; the image is uncertain, so the field is unsure.

Night outdoor crowd scene beside a wooden pole topped with a golden finial. A man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe with a gold chain necklace and a red tilak, standing among devotees. To the left, an older man in white kurta with a mala gestures and speaks toward a figure in an orange shawl. On the right, a woman in a white sari with a gold border and a long braid stands with her back to the camera. Several other people in orange and white clothing crowd around, and a hand holds a camera or phone in the lower left corner.
