Outdoor street photo in a South Indian town. A central man in a saffron-orange dhoti-wrap and reddish-brown upper cloth wears a long white and red flower garland and rudraksha beads, and smiles while raising his right hand in greeting. Around him, saffron-clad attendants and men in white dhotis walk alongside; a woman in a white sari with a red and gold border holds a small brass vessel with red flowers. A black SUV sits at left, and tiled-roof houses and trees line the road. Appearance-based identification: Swamiji (probable), given the qualifying cues of the long hair, rudraksha mala and ornate garland; he is walking in procession and greeting people.
