A photograph of a procession walking along a narrow terracotta-tiled path shaded by trees, with a stone wall behind. A bearded man in a long dark brown robe wears many layered rudraksha malas and a vertical forehead mark; he appears to be the central figure, walking among devotees. Around him, bare-chested men wear orange cloths and rudraksha beads, and one holds a red cloth. A man in a yellow shawl with white dhoti and beaded necklaces walks nearby, and a man in a white shirt with a tilak stands in the foreground. Several other devotees and women in orange saris follow. The central robed figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive rudraksha adornments, a person candidate, though appearance alone is not a firm identification.
