A photograph of a procession on a yellow-walled temple veranda with painted red, green and blue borders and an ornate pillar at right. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a long gold-yellow shawl stands at centre, holding a long golden staff. Beside him, a man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks with long hair; he is a probable Swamiji by appearance and presentation, with saffron clothing and rudraksha cues. Behind them, a man in white holds an orange umbrella and another wears an orange shawl. At right, a man in red-and-tan cloth holds a small object, and a man in a striped shirt and white dhoti stands barefoot. Several other men in white shirts stand along the edges.

November 27 20062006-11-27A photograph inside a colourful, newly built pavilion with painted columns and a painted ceiling, with scaffolding visible at left. A tall man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, and a saffron shawl, and walks with a wooden staff. Beside him a man in a red-and-gold checked shawl and orange dhoti walks in step. Behind them follow men in white dhotis and white shirts, one shirtless man in a white dhoti with a dark bag, and a man in a blue-striped shirt and white dhoti at right. Marble floors reflect the light, and an open doorway shows a pavilion and cars outside. Whether the saffron-robed man is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.2006-11-27A group of men walks barefoot along a polished marble-floored colonnaded hall with ornate painted columns and a multicoloured ceiling. At the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe, a dark rudraksha mala and carries a wooden staff; the lead figure's appearance is consistent with the a person cues of long hair, orange robe and rudraksha, though his identity is uncertain. Beside him a man in a red and gold shawl over an orange dhoti holds the hand of a bare-chested young attendant in white dhoti, who carries a blue bag. Other men in white kurtas with orange shawls walk behind, and a bearded man in white robes with an orange shawl walks at left. Outdoors, a white golf cart and a thatched-roof pavilion are visible beyond the arches.2006-11-27December 31 20062006-12-31November 27 20062006-11-27November 27 20062006-11-27A photo inside an ornate, pillared pavilion with yellow columns, painted coloured ceiling bands and a polished marble floor, open to green lawns outside.
