Photograph of a procession walking along a dusty path beside a weathered stone temple wall with pillared colonnade. In the centre, a man with long dark hair, a teal head covering, a rudraksha mala, a silver necklace and an orange saffron garment walks ahead of others; an orange-clad attendant follows nearby. A man in a maroon shirt and white dhoti leads at left, another in white dhoti wears a face mask, and uniformed police officers in khaki and a blue-capped officer accompany the group. Several men in white and saffron clothing, some carrying brooms, follow behind amid scattered litter and green weeds. A cameraman with a camera on his shoulder appears at right. Labelled as a candidate in appearance only, the central figure with long hair and rudraksha is a probable Swamiji (probable) walking in procession with devotees and police escort.
