A central figure in an orange wrap and long beaded garland, with ornate gold-toned necklace and bracelet, walks barefoot at the front. Women in white and orange saris with flower garlands walk to the right, and men in white dhotis are interspersed in the group.2012-10-12Several monastic followers in saffron/orange robes descend a concrete staircase at a hillside temple entrance. A man in the centre wears white dhoti-style clothing with an orange shawl over his shoulder. Yellow and red ribbons hang overhead from a line, and a blue tarp awning shelters the wall beside them. Behind them, forested mountain slopes are visible through an arched opening. Two men in saffron clothing walk in front, one in the foreground wearing an orange robe with a red border. Their appearance does not clearly establish any specific individual, so no candidate is identified; they are presented as monastic devotees.2008-07-02A group of saffron-robed sannyasis walks barefoot along a paved street in front of a temple gateway. The central man wears an orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a long ornate gold bead necklace, with a red bindi on his forehead. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and white-and-orange-clad monastics carry a small brass vessel and an orange cloth bag. Sandalwood tilaka marks cover several foreheads, and rudraksha malas hang on many chests. Behind them, a metal gate and shopfronts line the street. Appearance cues alone are not sufficient to identify the central figure, so his role is described as a saffron-clad sannyasi leading the procession.2011-09-26Outdoor photo at a red temple entrance with arched doorway and trees behind.
