At the front, a man in white dhoti and shirt carries a yellow pole with a colourful embroidered banner. Behind him, a figure in a flowing orange-red robe and a long gold-beaded necklace walks at the centre under a small multicoloured canopy held by attendants. Men in white dhotis and shawls with gold necklaces flank the path, and women in cream and white saris follow behind. Tall decorative pillars with colourful geometric patterns and bird motifs line the hall. The figure in orange has long hair swept back, and the description is based on appearance cues, so the identity is probable: a person, walking in procession as the honoured leader.2010-12-28March 10 20132013-03-10
