A photograph of a central figure in a saffron-red turban with a small red bindi, wearing a long red-orange robe with gold-and-yellow border, layered red and orange rudraksha-style and bead garlands, and a large red flower garland with gold accents. Confetti or petals dust the robe and arms. Behind on the steps, figures in white dhotis with gold borders walk, and a line of people in white clothing stand with palms pressed together on tiered red stone seating. A man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti and rudraksha mala walks on the left. Appearance-based a person: the central figure shows a turban, saffron clothing and ornate garlands, though the appearance is only partly clear.

A person in a rust-orange turban with flower petals on top descends a white metal handrail on an outdoor stairway lined with terracotta planters. The person wears a saffron-and-orange striped garment, a red and orange shawl, a long rudraksha mala and a thick double-layered garland of red and yellow flowers with gold-coloured ornaments. Petals are scattered on the arms and clothing. Behind, a figure in white stands near white rails, with other people in white and light-coloured clothes at the upper left. The appearance is consistent with the page's described a person, with the ornate saffron clothing, turban and rudraksha cues, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone, so it is described as a person.2015-07-31Outdoor procession under a metal-framed canopy with a palm-tree backdrop. 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.2015-01-13Outdoor procession on a concrete ground beside a large tent structure with stacked orange chairs at right. In the centre, a smiling man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl wears a thick golden-brown beaded necklace and a deep red turban, and walks forward. Behind him, a long-haired man in a white dhoti with gold borders holds a tall curved orange-handled staff and wears a rudraksha mala.

Several men in red, saffron and green robes and turbans follow, along with women in orange and yellow saris. A purple-draped palanquin or chariot structure stands at left, and attendants in white dhotis are visible in the crowd. The orange-robed figure with a white beaded mala is described as a probable match for a person based on saffron clothing and beaded adornment, but the appearance is uncertain, and a shaved-headed attendant in white is a priest or devotee.2015-01-13September 11 20152015-09-11June 21 20142014-06-21A procession on a paved path beneath palm trees.

He wears a long red and yellow flower garland with a rudraksha mala across his chest, and the platform is heaped with white and yellow flowers at his feet. Behind him, orange-robed men with white sandalwood marks on their bodies and shaved heads stand near a metal railing, and a stepped stone amphitheatre with rows of seats and red flags fills the background.
