Several men in saffron and orange robes walk in a group, many wearing rudraksha and beaded malas and white flower garlands. One man in the centre wears a white head cloth, a white garland and a rudraksha mala, with hands folded. Men in yellow kurtas carry a teal and orange canopy on poles, and another man in a yellow kurta and white head cloth carries a brass kalasha atop a pole. Striped umbrellas and a tall golden staff appear among the procession, with a drummer at the lower right and a cameraman filming above the crowd. A procession of devotees in white and saffron surrounds them.2008-12-30December 30 20082008-12-30Outdoor scene on a sandy courtyard with palm trees and thatched huts.

Two decorated umbrellas in red, yellow and green with tassels are held over the group by men in white dhotis and yellow shawls. Several men in white and women in white stand around, some with lanyards.

A central figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange turban and a white and orange flower garland stands with palms pressed together in greeting, beneath a colourful tasselled ceremonial umbrella held overhead. Two saffron-robed sannyasis stand to the left, and a man in white dhoti with a white shirt bows with folded hands before the central figure. Behind them, musicians in white dhotis play drums and a wind instrument, and devotees in white clothes stand with palms joined. A small yellow-cloth-draped object sits on a stone base at left. Several devotees in white and orange clothing are visible. The central figure has long dark hair and distinctive orange-and-saffron clothing with a garland, matching the page's appearance cues, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable).2008-07-27December 30 20072007-12-30December 23 20082008-12-23
