A photograph inside a temple corridor of a procession. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes wears long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and tripundra-style forehead marks, a heavy garland of white jasmine and pink flowers, and a gold beaded necklace; he smiles and holds a green leafy garland. Beside him on the left, a man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala holds an orange cloth and a small plate. A woman in orange and a woman in a red-bordered sari walk behind, and on the right a man in white kurta and dhoti carries a silver staff with a bird finial and wears a rudraksha mala. Devotees stand in the background, many in saddle-style saris, and a lit notice board hangs on the pillared wall. Swamiji (probable): the central figure wears long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha and gold ornaments, consistent with the page's identification, so the person is labelled probable here.
