Outdoor photo at a religious gathering under an orange tent with hanging banners in Hindi script. A shirtless bearded young man in white dhoti stands on the left holding a small wooden box with red powder and a stick inside. Beside him, an older bald man with a white forehead band and an orange shawl over a brown robe holds the box's edge and reaches toward it. Behind them, several saffron-robed sannyasis wear rudraksha malas, and a man in a crisp white dhoti with a golden necklace stands to the right holding a long staff. A man photographs the scene at left. Several other people in orange and white clothing crowd the background.

A shirtless young man in a white dhoti carries a small wooden tray with an oil lamp toward a bald elderly man with a white vertical tilak, wearing an orange shawl over a brown-saffron robe and holding a long wooden staff. Around them, men in white dhotis and shawls, some with rudraksha malas, press their palms together; one wears a yellow-orange shawl. A cameraman films from the right, and printed banners hang on the tent walls. Several people are visible, and the scene appears to be a ceremonial walk. The elderly man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, with orange and saffron clothing and a staff, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm him.2013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08A photograph of a ritual reception on a stage before a large backdrop showing an orange-robed figure.

On the left, three bare-chested men with white painted body markings and white dhotis stand together, one holding a small cylindrical item, and a young man in a cream shawl with red border and tilak stands near them.
