Night procession photo. A central figure in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange robe with rudraksha beads smiles and raises a hand in greeting, while a red-and-silver umbrella is held over him by an attendant. Around him, saffron-clad sannyasis stand alongside men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and ornate gold necklaces. A man on the left holds a tall silver ceremonial staff, and a young man in a red polo shirt stands at the edge. A striped animal-skin cloth is draped over one arm at the right. Tented structures and a dark night sky form the backdrop.

A photograph of several men gathered closely inside a tent with a pale fabric ceiling and beige walls. In the centre, a smiling man wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-brown robe and a long rudraksha mala with a gold chain, and is holding up a smartphone. Beside him, a man on the left wears an orange robe with gold beaded necklaces and a red tilak, and a bearded man in an orange robe with a red forehead mark and beaded necklace stands at right. Behind them, a man in white with a gold-bordered shawl and a red mark on his forehead stands near a tall silver staff, and other attendees in white and saffron clothing are visible. Appearance-based candidate: a person, identified by the turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace cues; the page does not state he is present.
