A smiling person with long dark hair, in a white dhoti-style garment with gold border and a long red-and-white garland, walks forward with palms pressed together in greeting. Two men in saffron-orange robes walk closely behind, one with a beard and one with a wooden rudraksha-style mala.

Behind them, a colourful decorated backdrop of garlands and yellow and red drapery frames a deity murti.2010-01-02January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesA barefoot procession walks along a red carpet down a covered hall decorated with hanging yellow-green leaf garlands. At the centre, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a white flower garland with red blossoms and a white head wrap, and holds his hands together in greeting; he is a person candidate by his saffron clothing and the flower garland, though his face and features are not used for identification. Behind him, another saffron-robed figure with a long beard and a rudraksha mala walks alongside him. Men in white dhotis and shirts and women in white saris carry ceremonial items, and a man in white plays a drum on the right. An ornate canopy and a gold-topped staff stand in the background, with a yellow banner held aloft.2008-12-30March 02 20112011-03-02January 1st 2013March 02 20112011-03-02January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesA smiling man with long dark hair walks down a red carpet under a white tent with blue-bordered drapery.

Colourful striped umbrellas with tassels are held overhead, and a cameraman in white is at the left. Women and children line the right side holding flower bundles and offerings.
