Night photograph at a temple-street procession. In the foreground a man with long dark hair, white horizontal tilaka on his forehead and a full beard, wears a rust-orange sannyasi wrap and a brown rudraksha-style beaded shawl, hands pressed together in anjali. Beside him a younger man with short swept hair, white tilaka with a red dot, large gold hoop earring, long gold bead necklace and a cream-and-gold dhoti-shawl stands with a serious expression. Behind them a few people and a dark signboard with yellow lettering and a lamp emblem. The described event is a Panchamurti procession, but the image alone does not confirm the a person identity, so no candidate is asserted.

He wears a large garland of pink and white flowers and a gold chain, and he smiles while holding a tall gold staff with his right hand. Around him, several men in saffron and orange cloths, some with white forehead markings and flower garlands, stand near a green leafy offering plate. The scene looks like a ritual gathering, possibly linked to a homa. The man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron shawl, garland and gold necklace.2017-03-16 +1 copies
