Night photograph of a temple procession in a crowded street. In the centre, a long-haired man wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a large ornate gold necklace and holds a folded white cloth; he walks with head bowed. Flanking him, a bearded man in white with an orange shawl and a white-shirted man with an orange shawl walk alongside. Behind them, devotees in white clothes crowd the path. Strings of lights and a banner with printed lettering hang above the temple entrance. A candidate matching the page's Swamiji reference shows long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, so this is an appearance-based probable match.
