A photograph of a smiling figure in saffron-red ceremonial clothes walking through a temple doorway decorated with garlands of yellow, white, red and purple flowers. He wears a long dark swept-back hair style, a white and red forehead mark, a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a saffron-red shawl draped over the shoulder. Behind him a second robed figure in orange and white stands near stairs, and a brass oil lamp sits on a yellow-based pillar. The swamiji candidate shows distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces, so this is a probable appearance-based match.2016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03A procession in an outdoor ashram setting. In the centre, a smiling figure with a tall black turban and a red-and-gold bindi on the forehead wears a red-orange sari with gold border, heavy gold necklaces, a large gold pendant and rudraksha mala cords, and holds a tall yellow staff. Behind and beside them, men in red-orange cloth with rudraksha malas and garlands walk in line; one bald man on the left has white and yellow markings on his forehead, and a man on the right wears white dhoti with a yellow sash and holds a staff. Flower garlands and a decorated pot appear at the lower left.
