A procession moves through a marble-floored hall with an arched opening behind it, where colourful umbrellas or canopies are visible outside. At front, a man in white shirt and trousers gestures forward with an open hand. Behind him, a man in white holds a tall gold-wrapped staff or pole. On the right, a man in a saffron-orange robe and orange turban wears a white and multicoloured garland and rudraksha beads, smiling as he walks. Women in orange and white saris line the left side of the hall, and other men in white shirts and dhotis follow.

July 29 20082008-07-29July 29 20082008-07-29A photograph of a procession inside a open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof and bare concrete walls. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and a white, pink and yellow flower garland, and smiles while raising one hand in greeting as he walks barefoot toward the camera. Around him, devotees in white and saffron clothing stand with palms pressed together in namaskar; a man in a white dhoti holds a walking stick, and women in white and cream saris line the path. A small girl in a pink dress stands among them. An orange flag is visible overhead. The scene suggests a padukas procession, with the central figure appearing as a probable Swamiji by cues of long hair, saffron robe and garland.2007-02-24August 15 20092009-08-15January 11 20102010-01-11 +1 copies2006 - Kailasa India Sangha ActivitiesNight procession under a multicoloured canopy with red, green, yellow and purple tassels.
