A central sannyasi in maroon robes, a maroon turban and a long garland of yellow, white and red flowers raises one hand in greeting and smiles. Around him, shaven-headed sannyasis in maroon and saffron-bordered robes with rudraksha malas walk alongside, and men in white dhotis and shirts and onlookers in the background follow. Appearance-based candidate for a person is not established, so the central figure is described by role only.2014-06-26Outdoor procession scene at a temple-like courtyard with a red carpet. In the centre, a man in a rust-red and gold-bordered garment wears a red-orange turban and a heavy gold chain, holding a small orange-gold cloth bundle in his hands.

Behind them, several men in white dhotis with gold borders wear rudraksha malas and red-orange garlands. Young boys in orange and saffron garments with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand nearby, and a few bystanders in white shirts and dhotis watch from the background.

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.

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.2015-07-25July 05 20152015-07-05 +2 copiesA photograph of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis walking barefoot along a dirt path lined with trees and a low wall.
