March 11 20132013-03-11Evening procession outdoors before a temple, with a large decorated deity murti or chariot canopy with orange and gold drapery in the background. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead band, a red-and-white flower garland and an orange robe with gold trim stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed. Beside him, several men with shaved heads, white tilak and orange robes with gold borders, some with rudraksha malas and gold-trimmed shawls, stand with hands folded in prayer. A young girl in orange with a rudraksha mala and a pendant holds a small bag, and a woman at right holds her hands together in greeting. Orange flags on poles stand behind the group under trees, with a stone statue visible at right. The probable Swamiji cues are the long hair, flower garland and orange robe, and the figure is the one at centre-right.2013-03-11A man stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes lowered, in an outdoor setting with trees and a pink-orange building behind. He wears a rust-red cloth wrap with a yellow-gold band, a thick rust-red beaded mala with gold bead ornaments, gold bangles and an armlet, and a small gold earring; his bare upper body is visible. Behind him, several young people in saffron-orange robes stand in line with hands folded, some with white forehead markings. One holds a gold kalasha-like vessel, and another holds a rope.
