December 12 20072007-12-12Outdoor procession on a dirt road with many people walking barefoot, most in white dhotis and kurtas. Two central figures in saffron-orange robes walk side by side: the one on the left wears a rudraksha mala and a saffron wrap with a patterned hem, and the one in the centre has long swept-back dark hair, a saffron garment, a heavy ornate gold-and-beaded necklace, and gold bangles, holding a small white object. Swamiji (probable) appears as the centre figure given the distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing.
