A covered outdoor pavilion with a corrugated roof and red-painted posts shows a procession walking across a striped woven mat in green, red, blue and cream. At centre, a sannyasi in a flowing orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala walks, flanked by men in maroon dhotis with gold-bordered sashes and gold-bead garlands. A man in a white shirt stands behind, and women in white and pink saris stand at right near red plastic chairs. At left, brass oil lamps and a garlanded pedestal with a white cloth are set up. Several people are visible, some partly cut off at the frame edges.

In the foreground, a smiling man in a dark red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red turban, and a thick gold-beaded necklace walks forward, a red-and-gold cord visible at his waist. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas follow, along with men in white dhotis and red-orange shawls, and a few women in saffron saris and a child in the background. Tie colours to owners: the lead figure wears the turban and gold necklace; others wear plain white or saffron garments. Strong appearance cues on the lead figure (red turban, gold necklace, saffron-gold attire) are consistent with a person candidate in a ceremonial procession, though the image is not conclusive.2015-07-25September 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20152015-09-11Indoor photo in a covered hall with striped rugs on the floor. A central man in rust-orange robes with gold borders, a gold pendant and rudraksha-style beaded necklace, and a red tilak on his forehead, walks forward while clasping hands with a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border and gold garland, who holds a small book. To the left, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a gold garland gestures with an open hand. Another orange-robed person stands behind, and more people in orange and white are visible in the background near a decorated canopy. The scene reads as a greeting between devotees and sannyasis at an event.2015-09-16May 29 20152015-05-29 +1 copiesA procession inside a decorated pavilion with a red carpet and hanging green leaf festoons.

Several men in maroon and brown robes with rudraksha malas walk forward across a white marble floor, one wearing a red flower garland. Behind them, men in orange and white dhotis and women in saris stand watching, with hands folded in some cases. No person is clearly identifiable as a person by the visible cues described in the rules, so the candidate is left unsure.2015-05-29September 14 20152015-09-14
