Outdoor photograph on a paved courtyard under palm trees, with a floral-patterned umbrella held over a central figure. A man seated on a red-and-gold cushion wears a red turban, an orange shawl and a long yellow-orange marigold garland. Around him stand bare-chested and white-clad men with shaved heads and white beards, holding brass plates of coconuts and offerings wrapped in white cloth. Several devotees wear white dhotis with gold borders and orange or red sashes, and one woman in an orange sari with a red beaded necklace stands at right. Wet patches of water mark the ground, and a small potted plant sits in the foreground.

Devotees in saffron and orange clothing and white dhotis walk in a line; a man in the foreground carries a brass pot with green leaves on top, and a bare-chested priest with a shaved head and red-and-gold dhoti stands with palms pressed together. Women in orange saris and young girls in white stand among them. Tall poles with orange flags and a decorated ceremonial standard rise behind. Footwear lies scattered on the ground near the path.2015-02-05Outdoor procession on a dirt path with a small ceremonial parasol overhead. At the centre, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl wears a large garland of white and orange flowers over his chest and a rudraksha-style mala at his neck. Around him, several shaved-headed men in white dhotis with gold borders walk in step, some wearing beaded necklaces and some holding hands. A green banana tree and a blue tarpaulin wall stand in the background under an overcast sky. The long-haired central figure matches appearance cues, a flowered garland, saffron clothing and a mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable), walking as the honoured figure in the procession.2010-12-29December 23 20162016-12-23
