Night-time outdoor procession walking along a red-painted low ledge lined with potted saplings and dark foliage. A man in a white dhoti with gold border and bare chest, holding a small red object, walks at left beside a man holding a long pole with a red-fringed umbrella-like canopy. A central man in a saffron-orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala walks forward, with a second saffron-clad man behind him, and a younger man at right in saffron with a rudraksha mala holds a phone. No clear appearance-based a person candidate is established, so identity is left unsure.

October 06 20112011-10-06Night procession on a dirt path with a dark background. A bare-chested man in white dhoti with gold border leads at left, carrying a red bag. Central figure wears saffron cloth and a long garland of white and yellow flowers with a red-and-white strand, with rudraksha beads visible, walking barefoot. Behind him a man in saffron dhoti carries a brass kalasha pot with green leaves on top. Several other men in white dhotis and shawls walk in line, one holding a small torch. A red motorcycle and potted plant sit at the left and right edges. The central figure's saffron clothing and garland suggest a sannyasi-style presentation, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2011-09-30Night procession on a dirt path lit by a distant lamp. Five men walk in a line: a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha-style pendant at left; a central man in orange-saffron robes with gold-bordered shawl walking with hands folded; a man in orange robes with gold border behind him holding hands together; a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border; and a shaved-headed man in orange robes carrying a tray with a small silver vessel, green leaves and white flowers. A man in a white shirt at right holds a lit lamp and a flower garland. Appearance-based identity of the central figure is uncertain, so he is described only by role as a devotee walking in the procession.2012-01-02July 23 20122012-07-23Night photograph of a walking procession along a dirt path beside a red-and-white painted low wall. In front, a man in an orange saffron shawl and orange cloth, with long swept-back hair and a bare-chested upper body, walks forward. Behind him, two men in white kurta-style clothes with orange shawls walk; one holds a small torch or light. A man in white with an orange shawl is partly visible at the right edge.
