A photograph of a procession walking along a red carpet under a covered walkway in an outdoor courtyard. In the centre, a bare-chested man with a red and gold turban, a long gold-beaded garland and a dark red-brown dhoti walks barefoot. Beside him, a figure in orange robes carries a small offering tray decorated with flowers and greenery. Behind them, people in orange robes and a white-clad attendant follow, one holding a drum or ritual item. A colourful decorated banner hangs at left and a canopy with tassels stands at right against a red wall. The man in the turban shows distinctive adornments and ceremonial garlands, but his face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

In the centre, a man in a deep red-maroon dhoti and matching shawl with a large red and white floral garland walks forward, and a smaller child in red-maroon clothing with a gold crown and layered silver-and-white necklaces walks beside him. Behind them, robed attendants in saffron and orange garments carry a tall orange parasol with fringe and a tasselled fan-like staff. A figure in white dhoti holds the parasol pole, and a bald man at right in maroon cloth and rudraksha beads carries a silver tray of flowers and fruit. A small shrine with a deity murti and colourful flags stands in the background among palm trees, and people in orange and white continue the procession.2013-08-20Outdoor procession walking along a red carpet between a red-brick wall and green foliage. A central figure in a dark brown robe with a maroon-red turban and heavy gold necklaces and a long pale garland walks barefoot; the figure is shown in a dark brown robe and is a candidate for Swamiji by appearance, with a turban, ornate gold necklaces and a garland, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a ceremonial procession. Behind him, a multicoloured fringed canopy is carried on a gold-topped pole. Attendants wear saffron-orange robes and white dhotis, one holding a drum, another in a saffron sari holding a flower-filled brass tray. Several people wear rudraksha malas and beads.2018-01-14Outdoor procession on a red cloth-covered path. A bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks at the centre beneath a tall multicoloured silk canopy held on a long pole. Around him, men in saffron-orange dhotis with gold-bordered white dhotis carry brass pots and a conch-like vessel. Palm trees, a wire fence and a brick structure stand behind. The bearded man in the rust-brown robe is distinctively clothed with garland and mala, but his appearance alone does not establish identity, so no probable label is applied.2017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01A procession on a paved courtyard with a red carpet runner.
