At the centre, a man in a long orange saffron robe with an orange head wrap and a gold-beaded necklace walks forward, his face visible and his hands folded at his waist. Around him, saffron-robed sannyasis walk barefoot, and people in white dhotis, kurtas and sarees carry large lavender and red fringed ceremonial umbrellas on tall poles. Women in white and cream saris and white salwar kurtas carry green peacock-feather fans with blue emblems, and a banner with red and yellow decorations and white flags sits behind them. Only white or saffron clothing and marching gestures are described here.2005-12-31December 27 20092009-12-27A dirt road procession moves between palm trees under a clear sky. In the centre, a man in orange robes with a white flower garland and a long dark beard walks at the front; the figure in the middle wears a long-haired crown-like headpiece and orange garments, which is a probable match for Swamiji based on his distinctive attire and presentation, though his face is not visible enough to confirm. Several orange-robed sannyasis walk alongside, some carrying tall wooden staffs. Women in white saris with orange-bordered shawls and beaded necklaces walk nearby, one carrying a brass vessel. Men in white kurtas hold large ornate umbrellas with teardrop-shaped orange and gold panels and fringed edges, while saffron and red flags flutter above. A bearded man in white stands at the far right holding an umbrella. A partial portrait banner appears at the left edge.2008-12-28January 01 20052005-01-01 +1 copiesDecember 25 20072007-12-25December 27 20072007-12-27December 14 20062006-12-14
