A procession walks along a dirt path between trees and a low white building. A central figure in saffron-orange robes with a long white and orange floral garland and long dark hair walks ahead, appearing to be a Swamiji (probable) by his long hair, saffron robe and garland. Behind him a man in white dhoti with an orange shawl carries a trident-tipped staff, and others in white and orange follow, some holding ceremonial staffs and a small kalasha-like object. A young man in white with an orange shawl and a camera bag walks at the left edge. A printed poster on the building wall shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" beside text. Colourful flags stand in the background.

Behind them, a group of people in white and orange clothing carries ceremonial staffs and walks in line. A man in orange and a woman in green stand further back near the building.

A man with long dark hair, a red tilak and a bare upper body wears an orange saffron cloth and a thick red and white flower garland, walking between two wooden poles carried by men in white dhotis and yellow shawls. Behind him a man in orange robes and a man in white clothes follow. A decorated ceremonial canopy hangs from the pole.

In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a flowing saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks barefoot ahead of a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with an orange-red sash, who holds a walking stick. Several men in white dhotis with yellow shawls follow, along with men in shirts and trousers, one holding a folder. A small boy in a checked shirt stands at the right beside a flowerbed of plantains, and a boy in white stands at the left edge. The people walking near the front show distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, so this is a probable appearance-based match for a person, though the exact identity is uncertain from the image alone.2010-07-10July 26 20102010-07-26
