A photograph of a crowd walking along a wooded path lined with dense green trees. In the centre, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers gestures with his hand, with a bald man in white beside him. Several men in orange and saffron robes walk among the crowd; one wears a saffron turban and a rudraksha mala, and another bald-headed monk in orange follows. Two large ornate umbrellas with gold tassels and red, cream and teal embroidered canopies are carried above the procession. Most others wear white shirts and white dhotis. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance alone, so no candidate is claimed.
