A procession walks along a red carpet beneath a blue-edged canopy at an outdoor ashram event. In the centre, a smiling man in a rust-red robe, with a red turban and a long gold-and-bead necklace, raises his hand in greeting. Beside and around him, saffron-clad men wear orange shawls and dhotis; one in an orange robe with a white-bearded face and a rudraksha mala walks at the right, and a young man in a red turban and orange shawl walks at the far left. Gold-carved pillars, brass bells and a banner with numbers stand behind, with onlookers at the edges. The scene is a photograph of a public satsang-style procession.

In the centre, a man in orange saffron robes with a long swept-back hairstyle and a rudraksha mala gestures with his right hand, while a bearded man in orange robes walks beside him. Two monks stand on the right in orange and yellow robes with rudraksha malas, one in a turban, and a woman in an orange and yellow sari with a white garland of beads stands at the far right.

A central figure in a rust-red turban with a small emblem, long dark hair, rudraksha-style beaded garlands and a deep red-orange robe with gold borders smiles while walking forward. Beside him, an older bald man in a saffron-orange robe and white-and-black beaded mala is supported by a devotee in orange. Attendants in white dhotis and saffron shawls, one holding a long gold-topped staff, surround them on a red carpet. Behind is a wooden palanquin with purple cloth and a crowd of onlookers. The central figure's cues are a turban, long hair, garlands and red-orange clothing, so this is a person in person, though the appearance is not conclusive enough for certainty.2015-01-13A procession walks along a red carpet under a tented pavilion with tan and white draping and stacked chairs. In the foreground, a smiling man in a dark red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red turban, and a thick gold-beaded necklace walks forward, a red-and-gold cord visible at his waist. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas follow, along with men in white dhotis and red-orange shawls, and a few women in saffron saris and a child in the background. Tie colours to owners: the lead figure wears the turban and gold necklace; others wear plain white or saffron garments. Strong appearance cues on the lead figure (red turban, gold necklace, saffron-gold attire) are consistent with a person candidate in a ceremonial procession, though the image is not conclusive.2015-07-25A procession walks barefoot along a red carpet under a blue-and-white draped tent in a festival exhibition hall.
