A photograph at dusk of a procession entering through a green-framed glass gate in a brick wall. In the centre, a smiling figure in long flowing orange robes with a gold-bordered hem wears a long rudraksha mala and steps under a floral garland strung across the doorway. Behind him, a second robed person in orange follows, and a crowd of men in white dhotis and orange shawls walks in the background. Above them, multicoloured ceremonial umbrellas with a deity image and string lights hang, and a palanquin-style structure is visible. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes with ornate gold borders and a rudraksha mala, a presentation consistent with the page, so identity is probable rather than confirmed.
