Night-time photograph of a street procession in front of a temple area. A bearded man with a swept-back head of hair and a white-and-ochre tripundra on his forehead wears a rust-brown robe, a long garland of green leaves, white flowers and purple blooms, and a wooden rudraksha-style mala, and holds a decorated brass vessel with a lid. He smiles while a devotee in white reaches toward him. Around him, people in saffron and orange clothing, some with rudraksha malas, crowd the street, and several bare-chested devotees stand nearby. Buildings and a tree are visible in the dark background.

A central man with a full black beard and long dark hair wears a rust-brown robe, a thick brown rope-like shawl, and a large fresh garland of green leaves, white flowers and pink blossoms; he has a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a red dot. He is smiling and reaching toward a white bowl holding pink flowers, while a man in a white shirt at left extends his hands. Around him, several young men wear saffron-orange cloths, gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha malas, with white and red forehead markings. Swamiji (probable) cues: long dark hair, distinctive rope shawl and garland, and ceremonial saffron-clad attendants around him.2017-02-07February 07 20172017-02-07 +2 copiesNight street procession in a busy Indian town, lit by bright lamps and a glowing decorative arch in the background. At the centre, a smiling bearded man with long swept-back hair and a white forehead mark wears a large garland of white, yellow, orange, pink and green flowers over a rust-orange shawl. Around him, devotees press close: a young man with a white and red forehead mark and bare chest wearing gold chain ornaments, a smiling man in a yellow shirt with a maroon cloth over his shoulder, and a bald-headed older man in white with his back to the camera. Several people in white shirts and tilak marks crowd the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long swept-back hair, rust-orange shawl and garland, though the appearance is only moderately distinctive.2017-02-07 +3 copiesNight procession scene.
