A photograph of a bearded man in a maroon-brown turban and maroon-brown dhoti with gold borders, descending wooden steps barefoot with eyes closed. He wears thick red and pink flower garlands and layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant. Around him, young men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas follow closely; one carries a brass tray with green leaves at the top right, and another wears an orange turban with a leopard-print wrap. A silver rail is visible at the left edge, and banana leaves and green foliage frame the background. The man appears to be the central honoured figure in a procession, though his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.

A smiling bearded man in a maroon turban and maroon silk dhoti walks barefoot along a red carpet outdoors, wearing heavy gold necklaces, a gold waist belt, and a thick pink-and-white flower garland. Two young men in saffron-orange dhotis, one bare-chested with rudraksha malas, flank him, and a third holds a tall pole beside them; one carries a bouquet of red flowers. Yellow flowering shrubs and a red building with an open doorway stand behind. The man's ceremonial dress and garlanded arrival suggest a welcome procession, but his identity is not established by visible cues alone.2018-01-14August 25 20172017-08-25July 19 20162016-07-19Outdoor temple procession on a stone path under trees. A central man in a reddish-brown dhoti and shawl wears a long garland of red, yellow and pink flowers and a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, walking barefoot along a striped cloth runner. Behind him, young men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas carry silver and brass trays of flowers and offerings. A golden shrine with a deity murti stands in the background. A man in a yellow dhoti and tiger-striped top carries a tray; an orange-clad attendant walks at right. Several people have sacred ash marks on their foreheads. The central man has a distinctive ornate gold adornment and long hair, and the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but it is not certain.2017-12-31August 25 20172017-08-25A photograph of a procession on a red carpet under a red-and-gold canopy.
