Street photo in a narrow Varanasi lane lined with shops. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a bindi, walks forward holding a steel trident. Beside him a man in a black fleece, white kurta and an orange shawl carries a bag and walks with clasped hands. Behind them a few men in white clothes and glasses follow. Stalls on the right sell colourful beach balls, toys and plastic items; a yellow shopfront and weathered buildings frame the scene.

In the foreground a man with long dark hair and a red mark on his forehead wears an orange saffron robe and holds a silver trident, walking forward. Beside him a bespectacled man in a black top, white dhoti-style trousers and an orange shawl walks with clasped hands. Several other men in white and grey follow behind on the lane.

A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and layered garlands of orange marigolds, white flowers and black rudraksha malas walks at the centre, wearing saffron robes and gold chains; this is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues. Around him, saffron-robed, shaven-headed men in orange cloth and rudraksha malas walk alongside, one at right holding a silver trident aloft. Marigold garlands and a devotional procession setting suggest a temple tour.2013-02-13January 06 20062006-01-06December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04
