Several men in white dhotis and shawls with gold borders hold flaming torches aloft, and one man in a red-orange cloth stands among them. Some wear rudraksha malas. Behind them a lit float or vehicle with illuminated panels and a bright white light glows in the background, with trees at the edge of the road.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16Night procession lit by flaming torches held aloft by men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls. The central young man wears a white garment draped over his torso and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, walking with downcast eyes. Behind him another man grips a tall brass torch, and a figure in a red-orange garment stands at right. A man in a white shirt with a lanyard walks at left. Strings of multicoloured fairy lights and trees frame the outdoor scene, with a blue-and-white logo at top left.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16November 11 20152015-11-11November 16 20152015-11-16December 31 20152015-12-31September 15 20162016-09-15Night 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.2011-09-30November 11 20152015-11-11
