Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with trees, led by musicians in white dhotis and shawls: a man on the left plays a long brass horn (nagaswaram-style) with a yellow sash, and a white-clad drummer on the right carries a barrel drum slung over his shoulder. Behind them, a man in a dark orange-red robe wears a long white and multicolour flower garland and a rudraksha-style necklace, walking barefoot; a white-robed attendant stands beside him. Orange flags and a decorated canopy with ornate red, gold and green embroidery and tassels are carried above. Colourful triangular pennants hang from the top edge. Several devotees in white dhotis and kurtas carry long poles.2004-01-01January 01 20042004-01-01A festive street procession moves along a red-paved path under colourful decorated umbrellas with fringed tassels.

Men in white dhotis and kurtas carry a colourful decorated canopy on blue poles, its panel showing painted animals and a kalasha, with red, orange and black tassels hanging below. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti and orange sash plays a dhol drum, and another carries a long horn-like instrument. Orange flags are carried in the crowd, and ornate umbrellas rise further back. A blue-and-white striped tent wall runs along the right. Nearly everyone wears white ceremonial clothes, with orange and saffron accents. No identifiable central figure is clearly visible in the frame.2004-01-01January 01 20042004-01-01January 01 20042004-01-01January 01 20072007-01-01A procession outdoors under ceremonial umbrellas. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange head wrap, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and a flower garland, walks forward; the cues are distinctive but the identity is an appearance-based candidate only, so it is labelled Swamiji (probable). Behind him, a young man in an orange shawl carries a brass tray of yellow flowers, while men in white dhotis and shirts with rosettes walk beside colourful fringed umbrellas printed with a temple design. A man on the right in white holds a video camera and wears an orange shawl. Red and orange festoons and marigold garlands hang overhead.2007-01-30January 01 20042004-01-01December 23 20082008-12-23 +1 copiesOctober 01 20062006-10-01Outdoor procession on a dirt road under an orange canopy edge.
