About fifteen people are visible in the procession.

A procession on a dirt path under bright sun, with red-orange flags and ceremonial staffs held overhead. At centre, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe wears a white and multicoloured flower garland with a tassel pendant and walks barefoot-style in sandals; the figure is a candidate for a person based on his long swept-back hair and saffron robe, though this is uncertain. Around him, men and women in white dhotis and saris with orange shawls carry a trident-topped staff, a peacock-feather fan with a red emblem, and colourful umbrellas. A woman at left in white with an orange shawl holds the peacock-feather fan. White tents stand in the background among palm trees.2007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25A photograph of a festival procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees. In the centre, a figure in an orange-saffron robe wears a long white and multicoloured flower garland and a red flower at the neck, with long dark hair swept back, and walks forward between orange flags and umbrellas. Around him, people in white dhotis and white shirts with orange shawls carry a long gold-topped staff, a silver processional standard and a peacock-feather fan. Women in white saris with orange borders walk in the foreground. Orange-saffron flags with white emblems and orange-and-blue striped parasols are raised overhead. The figure's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland matches a distinctive presentation, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) leading the procession.2007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25A festival procession moves across grass under bright sun. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe and a white-and-multicolour floral garland walks forward, with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a smiling expression; he is a sannyasi-style devotee, and the appearance does not sufficiently confirm a person candidate. Around him, devotees in white kurtas with orange shawls carry long wooden poles and orange banners, and drummers play at left. Overhead, orange umbrellas with green-red fringed canopies bear the printed words Dhyanapeetam and a dove emblem. Several onlookers stand in the background. The scene shows a ritual procession with orange flags, umbrellas and drums.2007-12-25Outdoor procession under a canopy of saffron cloth and striped umbrellas with tasselled edges.
