A street procession on a road beside a lake, with a town visible across the water under a hazy sky. Many men in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside a gold-and-red decorated ratham (chariot) draped with orange and red garlands. A framed portrait mounted on the chariot shows a figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a crown-like headdress against a red backdrop. Several men in white walk with orange flags, and a man in white rides a blue motorcycle beside the procession. An orange-and-black auto rickshaw and a white van are in the foreground.

Outdoor procession on a paved road beside a water body covered with green aquatic vegetation, with white houses and trees in the distance under a pale blue sky. A golden palanquin-style shrine with red and white garlands and a dark interior holding deity murti moves along the road, and orange and red flags fly from its sides. Men in white dhoti and shirt walk alongside it, several wearing white cloths on their heads; one man in the foreground wears a brown cap and white clothes and another wears orange-hemmed white. A metal guardrail runs along the left edge of the road.2009-02-13February 13 20092009-02-13February 13 20092009-02-13November 02 20092009-11-02February 10 20092009-02-10February 13 20092009-02-13February 13 20092009-02-13A photograph of a street procession in which devotees in white clothing stand around an ornate golden ratha (chariot) decorated with orange and red marigold garlands and colourful fabric tassels. Inside the shrine-like canopy are deity murtis and a framed portrait of a man in orange and saffron robes with a red-orange shawl; the murtis are the central focus. Devotees in white dhotis, kurtas and saris, some wearing a yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala, gather at the chariot's sides while a uniformed police officer stands at left. A stone gateway with an arch and orange flags appears in the background under a clear sky, indicating a roadside procession.2009-02-13A decorated palanquin procession moves along a roadside. On an ornate golden palki with garlands of white flowers and colourful tassels, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits under a multicoloured umbrella, flanked by attendants in orange, with another orange-robed figure standing beside. Devotees in white with orange shawls and saffron flags walk alongside the palki, and a policeman in khaki stands near the road. Vehicles, a blue auto-rickshaw and a motorbike crowd the lane, and a bus passes at right. The scene reads as a pada yatra with a palanquin carrying a swami figure, which fits the page's Swamiji tag but the seated figure's face is not clear enough to confirm identity.2010-07-24February 12 20092009-02-12February 12 20092009-02-12February 12 20092009-02-12
