A central figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange garment, a beaded mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, walking with hands joined in front of him, and is flanked by saffron-clad attendants and a figure in white. Around him are men in teal-green polo shirts and dark blue trousers acting as volunteers, and uniformed police in khaki with belts. Some people are barefoot. The photograph is a candid street-level shot of a temple walk, with a hill and dusk sky behind. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads, marking him as the guest of honour in the procession.2017-02-06August 02 20082008-08-02
