At centre, a man in orange robes with a white flower garland and a dark tassel walks at the front, flanked by devotees. Behind him, figures wear orange and saffron cloths, and a man in a white dhoti holds a tall silver staff. Two women in white saris are visible, one carrying a brass plate of offerings. Colourful decorated parasols with tassels and an orange banner with a red emblem are carried overhead, and a brass horn-shaped instrument is visible. Several people in white and yellow dress follow. The centre figure has long dark hair and a dark beard; he wears no crown, turban or rudraksha mala visible enough to confirm identity, so his identity is uncertain.2010-02-12
