Photograph inside a large orange tent with a red-orange canopy and hanging crystal chandeliers. A tall figure in orange-red robes and rudraksha malas stands at centre beneath a multicoloured parasol with tassels, flanked by standing devotees in white dhotis and shirts. Several men in white and one in an orange turban press close; a bald man in a pale shawl in the foreground looks toward the camera. Behind the parasol a gilded deity murti or framed image sits in a decorated alcove, with colourful striped banners on poles at the sides.

A large multicoloured umbrella with tassels and bird motifs shades a central area where a figure in saffron robes stands near a golden deity murti backdrop. Several men in saffron and orange garments stand close by, while a photographer with a camera and a man holding a phone are among the onlookers. Striped ceremonial pillars frame the tent, and the crowd appears to be moving toward the central area.2013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08Photo of a procession inside a tented pavilion with orange and red walls and a striped yellow, green and red canopy overhead. In the centre, a man with a white forehead mark and a long rudraksha mala wears a saffron-orange robe and stands on a green cloth beside another saffron-robed man with a gold necklace. Behind them, a shaved-headed sannyasi in orange with a white body mark, a figure carrying a tray of offerings, and a deity murti on an altar are visible. Around them, men in white dhotis and shawls and a few men in casual shirts stand watching, some with rudraksha malas. The page's a person flag is not a visible cue alone, and the central figure's distinctive orange robes and mala are shown, but the appearance is uncertain, so the identity is unsure.2013-02-08February 11 20132013-02-11February 08 20132013-02-08February 08 20132013-02-08Outdoor procession lined by devotees on a dirt path beneath a large orange canopy.
