Night outdoor photo of a procession near a red-painted wooden pole with white feathery fringe at its base. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe, rudraksha mala and a leopard-print shawl stands at the pole with both hands on it, and a red bindi on his forehead. Beside him a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala looks ahead. Other people in white, orange shawls and a woman in purple stand behind them in the dark. The swamiji candidate is a probable match from appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and leopard shawl.
