Outdoor procession on a brick-paved courtyard under palm trees. A bare-chested man in a dark maroon-brown robe and a long white and red flower garland walks barefoot on a striped runner, holding a large ornate umbrella with a gold-tipped pole, shaded by a parasol of orange and red fabric. Behind him a line of devotees in saffron-orange robes and orange head cloths press palms together in anjali, and a woman in maroon and a man in white dhoti with rudraksha mala follow. Colourful rangoli kolam patterns decorate the ground at right, and a few people in white and orange stand beside tents.

A man with a garland of white and red-orange flowers, a gold necklace and a sandalwood-marked forehead walks in a brown-orange robe along a striped runner.

Probable Swamiji (saffron robe, rudraksha mala and long dark hair cues visible on the central walker), in the role of processional leader.2017-03-11June 07 20162016-06-07August 15 20172017-08-15Photo of a procession walking down a red carpet under a white canopy with pink and striped fringe. A central man with a long-sleeved... wait, correction: a central man in a plain maroon-brown dhoti and sash wears a thick multicolour flower garland and gold ornaments, walking barefoot with hands at his sides. On his left, a man in an orange dhoti holds a tall yellow-handled ceremonial parasol with a multicoloured canopy. Lines of people in orange and saffron clothing stand on both sides with palms pressed together in greeting, including several girls wearing rudraksha malas. Behind them is a decorated altar area with a deity murti, a kalasha and lamps. Several men in white dhotis stand at the left edge.2017-09-02August 15 20172017-08-15August 12 20162016-08-12January 01 20172017-01-01Outdoor procession on a red cloth-covered path. A bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks at the centre beneath a tall multicoloured silk canopy held on a long pole. Around him, men in saffron-orange dhotis with gold-bordered white dhotis carry brass pots and a conch-like vessel. Palm trees, a wire fence and a brick structure stand behind. The bearded man in the rust-brown robe is distinctively clothed with garland and mala, but his appearance alone does not establish identity, so no probable label is applied.2017-01-01
