A dense outdoor crowd of devotees gathers in daylight, many with palms pressed together in namaskar. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while women wear saris in white, cream, pink, orange and red, some with gold bangles and necklaces. A woman in the centre holds a young child in white against her shoulder, and several people wear rudraksha malas. Vibhuti or kumkum marks appear on some foreheads. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is visible among the crowd.

A crowd of devotees lines a busy urban street, many with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed or lowered in prayer. In the foreground a man in a green and white striped shirt stands with hands joined, beside a woman in a bright pink saree holding an orange basket, and a woman in a pink-and-white print saree with a red bindi. Behind them women in sarees of yellow, orange, green and purple, and men in white shirts, many with children, face the street. Parked vehicles, an auto-rickshaw, a white bus and motorcycles fill the road behind the crowd. No single individual can be identified as a person in this view.

A large crowd of devotees stands packed behind a taut rope barrier, apparently waiting at an outdoor event. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a dark rudraksha mala and a small pendant stands with hands clasped. Beside him, a man in a checked shirt and dhoti holds his hands folded at his chest. Two women in the centre wear a maroon sari with floral embroidery and a bright pink sari, both with gold jewellery, bangles and hands folded in prayer. Behind them, many men in white shirts and women in saris, some with a bindi and some with a shaved head, fill the frame, all facing forward with serious expressions.

A dense crowd of men, women and children packs an open outdoor area under a tin-roofed canopy, many pressing forward with raised hands and phones. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in white with a saffron-and-gold bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala stands at the bottom edge, while a man in a white shirt and a man in a checked pink shirt with a rudraksha mala guide the crowd. Elderly women in white and blue saris stand at right. Many people wear white dhotis and shirts; a young woman in an orange top stands in the upper centre. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the scene is recorded only by roles and actions.

A large outdoor crowd of devotees lines a dirt road lined with palm trees and saffron flags during a procession. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a red sari with a pink shawl stand with hands folded in reverence. Behind them, many men in white and checked shirts and women in saris look toward a decorated chariot or ratha with floral garlands and a framed portrait near the upper centre, drawn by white horses. Banners hang on poles on the left. Two or three figures in the background wear saffron clothing.

A large outdoor crowd gathers on bare earth beside green shrubs, palm trees and a thatched hut, with a black loudspeaker on the right edge. Many people, mostly men in white shirts and white dhotis and women in pink, orange, yellow and purple saris, press together, some with hands raised or clasped. Several wooden poles with a small orange flag stand among them. The scene looks like a public gathering at an inauguration, with people packed densely at the front and along the sides. Most faces are partly hidden by others, and no clearly identifiable a person is visible in this view.
