Many men and boys wear saffron-orange cloths, rudraksha malas and vibhuti, while others wear white dhotis and gold-bordered shawls. Red flags with a printed portrait of a smiling figure flutter above the crowd, and multicoloured fringed canopies and blue and yellow parasols shade the group. In the centre, a figure in a red-and-gold robe with a garland and an elaborate crown or headdress walks under a tasselled canopy, flanked by attendants, and may be a candidate for a person, though the appearance is uncertain. Dense crowds of roughly several dozen people are visible.2018-01-09April 18 20162016-04-18A large procession moves along a tree-lined dirt road past a red-walled building.
