A procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a dirt path beneath a canopy of trees. In the centre, an elderly man with a long white beard and orange robe, holding a wooden staff and wearing a red tilak on his forehead, walks with his hands folded at his waist. Around him, younger men in orange-brown robes with gold-striped borders, rudraksha malas and shaved heads walk alongside; one holds a garland of white and red flowers, another presses palms together in namaste. Behind them, more devotees and a colourful banner on a pole can be seen.

Outdoor photograph of a procession on a dirt path under trees. A central elderly man with a long white beard and orange robe walks forward, holding a long staff, with a red mark on his forehead. Flanking him, two shaved-headed men in rust-brown and saffron robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas smile and hold their hands at their chests in respectful gestures; white sacred markings are on their foreheads and arms. Additional people in orange and brown robes follow behind on a patterned mat over the path, and a few more figures are visible in the background.2013-11-05Outdoor photo of a procession on a dirt path beneath leafy trees. A white-bearded elderly man in a flowing saffron-orange robe walks barefoot in the centre, holding a tall wooden staff in his right hand. Around him are several men in reddish-brown and gold-bordered dhotis and shawls, with brown rudraksha malas around their necks; one on the left guides him by the arm. Behind them a woman in a sari and other devotees follow on a rocky path. Visible clothing cues include the saffron robe and bearded elder, but facial appearance is not used for identification; the central man's presentation is consistent with the page's reference to a person but is not distinctive enough to confirm.2013-11-05Outdoor group photo under trees beside a small shrine structure. A bearded man with long white hair and beard, wearing an orange saffron robe with a red rudraksha mala, holds a tall walking staff and smiles. Four men flank him in rust-red dhotis and shawls with dark rudraksha malas, one with bare arms marked with white ash stripes, others with tilak on their foreheads, all standing with hands folded. A stone pedestal with a small golden murti stands at the right edge. The orange-robed figure has long white hair, a beard, and a red mala, cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, so the identity is an appearance-based probable candidate.2013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05November 05 20132013-11-05
