A procession on a dirt road beside palm trees and a parked silver car. A young man in an orange dhoti and a long flower garland, with a gold necklace, walks at the centre, flanked by sannyasi in saffron robes and devotees in white with yellow and orange shawls. Two attendants at the sides carry ornate ceremonial parasols in orange, red, yellow and green, and a large multicoloured parasol is held above the central figure. Devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls walk behind. A bearded man in orange robes walks barefoot near the front. Stone sculptures and a roadside stall appear in the background.2010-02-12February 10 20072007-02-10 +1 copiesOutdoor procession on a dirt path with palm trees and a parked white vehicle behind. A central figure in bright orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and gold necklace walks barefoot, hands raised in greeting and smiling, carrying a brass tray with offerings. Beside him an orange-robed man with a long beard and gold beads holds a tall ceremonial staff topped with a trident-like finial. On the left, attendants in white dhotis and orange shawls hold large embroidered yellow and orange ceremonial umbrellas, one with a sun-and-circle emblem. A cameraman in orange robes films the procession from the right, and a young woman in white with an orange shawl stands at the edge. Lush palms and a banner-like canopy with red tassels frame the scene. The central figure's cues are long swept-back hair, bright orange robes, rudraksha mala and gold chain, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate.2009-07-07Outdoor procession on a paved courtyard lined with palm trees, with colourful ceremonial umbrellas in red, yellow and blue. Several men in saffron-orange robes with red shawls walk in a line; one central figure wears an orange garment and a white flower garland, and two orange-clad attendants hold a tray with offerings. Behind them, men in white dhotis and yellow shawls and others in white shirts follow, and a cameraman with a tripod films on a raised platform at left. Yellow flower petals are scattered on the ground at right. A bearded man in a white robe and a yellow shawl stands among the group. The scene is a ritual procession with umbrellas and offerings.2010-01-02 +1 copiesOutdoor photo on a dirt path beside a wire fence and a white car. A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban walks forward smiling, a shawl draped over his shoulder. Behind him, a colourful striped umbrella with fringe stands on a tall lattice tower. A cameraman in white kurta and dhoti films him with a handheld video camera, and a man in white stands at left. A bald man in orange robes stands at right near the car, and a woman in white stands behind the walking figure. The walking man wears long, swept-back hair and carries distinctive saffron ascetic attire; appearance suggests a person candidate, presence uncertain. Other people in white are priests or devotees.2009-12-11February 10 20072007-02-10 +1 copiesOutdoor photograph on a dirt path lined with palm trees and a low wall.

Two ornate multicoloured umbrellas with tasselled edges and gold finials are held above a group of about ten people in white ritual dress with orange shawls, some carrying trays and bags. In the centre, a bare-headed man in orange robes with long hair stands beside a sand mound. On the right, a bald, smiling figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands on the sand, cues consistent with a sannyasi; the a person label applies only to this figure's distinctive orange-robed, mala-adorned presentation, with his identity not otherwise established.
