Photograph of a crowded temple procession. In the foreground on the right, a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wears a rust-brown robe, a heavy gold and black-bead necklace with a gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead, holding his hands together in anjali. Beside him on the left, a man in an orange wrap and layered red and white rudraksha-style necklaces presses his palms together. Behind them, sannyasi-clad attendants with long hair and a woman in a purple sari stand among ceremonial silver staffs and trident-topped poles, with a yellow canopy, colourful kalasha-style banners and hanging yellow garlands above. The scene reads as a temple ritual procession. The man in the centre has distinctive long dreadlocks, a heavy ceremonial gold necklace and rust-brown robes, so he is a person candidate.
