A bald man in white dhoti and shawl with gold-bordered edges walks barefoot across a dirt courtyard carrying a steel plate. He wears a beaded necklace and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind him, a row of people stands in front of an orange-painted building with red-framed windows and a corrugated roof. Among them are women in cream and white saris, one in an orange top, a girl in a red top and green skirt, and boys in red, orange and green shirts. A small table holds more steel plates. The ground shows faint circular lines drawn in the dirt. A tree and a metal pole stand at the right edge.

A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala beads and bangles, walks barefoot and looks ahead; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure in procession. Beside him a man in a white dhoti holds a tray of yellow flowers, and a woman in a blue sari carries a bag. Other devotees in white dhotis, shirts and a red-shirted boy stand around with hands folded, and a stone-coloured jacketed man stands at left. Several people are visible, roughly a dozen.2011-12-09December 23 20092009-12-23September 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a group of shaved-headed men in white dhotis and white shawls with maroon and saffron-bordered edges, many wearing rudraksha malas. They stand on a dirt ground in front of a red-painted building with a corrugated metal roof. A man in a grey shirt stands at the far left, and a small boy in an orange shirt and a girl in an orange-red salwar kameez stand among them, with a boy in a blue shirt at the right edge. Some men hold small white plates or leaf dishes. A red balloon floats above the roofline. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the scene is described by roles and clothing only.2011-09-04 +1 copiesDecember 26 20102010-12-26
