A few carry rectangular banners with embroidered borders. A young man in the centre wears a white dhoti with gold borders, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, and carries a gold canopy.

A golden deity murti stands near the back wall, and framed photographs hang on the walls.2015-09-02A procession inside a large white tent with red carpet and a yellow parasol with fringed edge held overhead. In the centre, a man in a saffron-brown robe with a bare chest area and a long sash walks while holding hands with an elderly white-bearded man in orange robes who uses a walking stick. Around them, men in white dhotis with gold borders and gold garlands carry drums, and attendants in orange and red dhotis carry trays. The centre figure has long hair swept back and shoulder-length dark hair; the candidate is an appearance-based probable match for a person, consistent with his long swept-back hair and saffron ceremonial robe, while the page places him at a visit with Mahamandaleshwar Abhedananda Ji.2016-04-20September 12 20152015-09-12December 03 20162016-12-03January 13 20152015-01-13September 15 20162016-09-15September 12 20152015-09-12
