Outdoor procession on a reddish dirt path with grass patches. At the centre, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala walks smiling, a candidate for Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues. Around him, men in white kurtas and white dhotis wear red-and-gold shawls and lanyard badges. One man in white holds a brass vessel with green leaves on a red tray, while another carries a round blue-and-orange ceremonial fan. A man at right grips a tall blue pole. Behind them stand more people and orange flags on white poles.2005-07-21July 28 20082008-07-28January 21 20092009-01-21December 30 20092009-12-30December 23 20082008-12-23A street procession moves past a concrete building with palm trees behind. At the centre, a smiling man in a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment and a long gold bead necklace raises both hands in greeting, walking beside a tall ornate ceremonial staff topped by a red, gold and blue embroidered canopy. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis wear rudraksha malas, one carries a bouquet of white and yellow flowers, and another holds a saffron flag. A bearded sannyasi in orange robes and a pendant walks in the foreground on the right, with a man in white clothing beside him.2009-11-25December 25 20072007-12-25July 28 20082008-07-28July 27 20082008-07-27A photograph of a joyful outdoor procession on a dirt ground in front of an orange brick building. A crowd of devotees in white kurtas and dhotis with yellow and orange shawls raise their arms and dance. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a beaded necklace, and smiles while dancing; he matches the orange-robed, long-haired appearance of the presentation cues, so this is a person candidate. Nearby, a cameraman films with a handheld camera on a tripod. An orange flag is held aloft in the background.2009-12-27December 30 20092009-12-30July 27 20082008-07-27
