Outdoor procession under multicoloured fringed ceremonial umbrellas, with a white tent behind. A man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe, with long dark hair and a smile, walks at the centre-right, flanked by people. A man in a dark green vest over white kurta and a woman in a blue sari with gold embroidery walk nearby. Two women in cream and white saris stand at left, one with grey hair. Men in white dhotis and shirts and a man with red shawl and tilak walk alongside. At lower right a brass vessel holds yellow marigold garlands. Swamiji (probable): the orange-robed figure with long hair and turban carries cues of saffron ornate clothing and swept-back hair, but identity is inferred from appearance only.

A tall figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap with long dark hair stands at centre, smiling, hands clasped, beneath a large ornate parasol with multicoloured tassels. Beside him an older man in white dhoti and white shawl with gold border and an older woman in a cream sari with dark-rimmed glasses walk forward. On the left a man holds a brass pot draped in yellow flowers and coconut, and a tray of yellow flowers is visible. A man at right wears white with a red and gold embroidered shawl and a pendant. Several other people in white or light clothing follow behind, a white car and tents are in the background. The clothing colours and procession setting suggest a formal welcome; the central figure shows distinctive saffron robes, orange head wrap and long hair, a presentation that matches the page's a person reference but the face is not used to confirm identity.2005-01-01 +1 copiesDecember 31 20092009-12-31Outdoor procession on a dirt path under colourful striped umbrellas and orange flags.
