January 12 20072007-01-12Outdoor photo of a procession moving through a green, tree-lined area. In the centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban wears a long garland of white flowers and rudraksha beads, with head bowed. Behind, a man in an orange robe and bald head, with glasses, walks among others in white shirts and robes. A decorated ceremonial umbrella or canopy with orange, red, blue and gold embroidery and fringe rises above the group, and orange flags are visible at left.
