February 08 20132013-02-08Photo of a procession inside a tented pavilion with orange and red walls and a striped yellow, green and red canopy overhead. In the centre, a man with a white forehead mark and a long rudraksha mala wears a saffron-orange robe and stands on a green cloth beside another saffron-robed man with a gold necklace. Behind them, a shaved-headed sannyasi in orange with a white body mark, a figure carrying a tray of offerings, and a deity murti on an altar are visible. Around them, men in white dhotis and shawls and a few men in casual shirts stand watching, some with rudraksha malas. The page's a person flag is not a visible cue alone, and the central figure's distinctive orange robes and mala are shown, but the appearance is uncertain, so the identity is unsure.2013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08Photograph of a procession inside a decorated tent with red and orange draping.
