Outdoor photo of a procession on a dirt path at an event site. A central man with long swept-back black hair wears an orange-saffron garment with yellow borders, a large gold-bead necklace and a light-coloured shawl, and walks barefoot-looking with a slight smile. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace. Around him, several men in white dhoti and white kurta wear orange-red shawls and walk alongside; one carries a rudraksha mala. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers walks at left-centre. Behind are green and blue tarpaulin tents, banana plants, a wooden stand and a small flag-bunting strip, under an overcast sky.2010-12-29A photograph of a group walking along a dirt path beside a wire-and-post fence, with green shrubs, palm trees and a low brick wall behind. In the foreground, a man with long swept-back black hair, a rudraksha mala and wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe walks barefoot-style in orange sandals, smiling. Beside him, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes and an orange shawl walks with his hand raised to his face. Behind them a procession of about a dozen men in white dhotis and white shawls with maroon borders, some with shaved heads and some with ash-marked foreheads, follow closely, several wearing ceremonial necklaces. The clothing colours are orange for the leading figures and white with red borders for the followers.2010-09-08Outdoor temple-grounds scene in bright daylight among trees. A central man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi walks smiling in an orange-saffron shawl over an orange garment, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace, and holds nothing visible in his hands. Behind him a man in a sannyasi-style orange cloth with a rudraksha mala carries a silver tray of white flowers, and another man with a shaved head wears an orange wrap. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand around, one holding a small object. Small black stone shrines and red-and-white painted plinths line the area, with a decorated pillar wrapped in straw and yellow cloth at right. The central man is the presumed Swamiji by appearance (probable), given long hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha cues.2012-06-19December 27 20072007-12-27January 08 20122012-01-08April 02 20122012-04-02A procession on a dirt path walks past a canopy and purple tent.

To his left, a bearded man in a white kurta wears an orange shawl and mala. Behind them, saffron-robed sadhus walk along the path.

A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala beads and bangles, walks barefoot and looks ahead; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure in procession. Beside him a man in a white dhoti holds a tray of yellow flowers, and a woman in a blue sari carries a bag. Other devotees in white dhotis, shirts and a red-shirted boy stand around with hands folded, and a stone-coloured jacketed man stands at left. Several people are visible, roughly a dozen.2011-12-09
