A photograph of a night procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated roof and a bare bulb. Several ornate umbrellas with red, orange and blue panels, gold borders and tassels are held overhead. At centre, a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl helps lift or steady a large wrapped figure, possibly a statue, covered in beige cloth, while another man in white assists. A standing figure at right wears a swept-back long hair style and an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala, appearing to be a person. Behind them devotees in white clothes and orange shawls stand in a crowd, and a white decorated bull figure with gold trim stands at the far right beside a blue metal bench. A red padded chair sits in the foreground at left.

A man with long dark hair in a saffron-orange garment and rudraksha mala walks at right, head bowed, past a figure seated in a wheelchair wrapped head-to-toe in pale brown cloth. Two decorated umbrellas with red, gold and multicolored tasselled canopies, one showing a dove emblem, are held aloft behind them. Men and boys in white dhotis and saffron shawls, and women in white and cream saris, stand around; a man in white kurta stoops to attend the wrapped figure. Several onlookers stand along the back wall.2007-01-27January 27 20072007-01-27January 27 20072007-01-27A dim indoor photo of a ceremonial gathering. A seated figure in white dhoti and shawl with a gold-bordered cloth sits on a black chair, a hand raised in blessing, his forehead marked with a red tilak. Standing beside a central figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe, bare-shouldered with long dark hair, are several men in white dhotis and orange shawls, some wearing rudraksha malas. A large umbrella with red, orange and multicoloured tassels is held overhead, and a man at right holds a kalasha-like brass vessel. Behind them stands a crowd of about twenty people in white and orange.
