A procession inside a hall with a green floor. In the centre, a smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a tilak wears a rust-orange robe, a rudraksha mala with a gold ceremonial necklace, and holds a red staff topped with a golden finial. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk, some carrying a red staff and one with a bare chest and gold armband. Behind them stand people in saffron-orange robes, drums and cloth bundles are visible on the right, and the background shows a gilded panel and white-walled stage area. Presentation cues for the central figure are distinctive, so this is a person in person.2016-04-17 +1 copiesA photograph of a smiling man in orange-saffron robes walking centrally on a green carpet inside a white tent.
