November 17 20132013-11-17A night procession of robed devotees surrounds a central figure wearing a maroon head wrap with a gold-and-red band, a maroon-and-gold garment, a thick white flower garland with red and yellow blooms, and layered gold necklaces. Attendants in saffron and maroon robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead marks stand around him; one holds a long ceremonial staff and another a lit oil lamp with a flame, while a third carries a bowl. Tall gold trident-topped poles and ornate orange-and-red parasol-style banners rise behind. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though this is not a confident identification, so the a person field is unsure. Seven or more people are visible.2013-11-17Night procession of saffron-robed sannyasis carrying tall ceremonial staffs and ornate orange-and-gold banners with a red emblem on a dark road. At the centre, a man in a maroon-red shawl wears a long white and red flower garland, a gold necklace and a leopard-print lower cloth, and carries a red-and-gold headpiece. Beside him, a bald man in a maroon wrap holds a lit oil lamp in both hands, and another devotee with white forehead markings holds a lamp at the right edge. Attendants with torches and white sandalwood markings on arms and foreheads walk around them, with women and girls in orange garments behind. The scene appears to be a deepam lamp procession. The central man shows only one or two cues and no clear identification is possible, so the role is given as a procession participant.2013-11-17November 17 20132013-11-17 +1 copiesNovember 17 20132013-11-17November 17 20132013-11-17Night procession photograph at an ashram-style outdoor area.
