Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk in a line; the front figure, with a shaved head and wearing an orange robe and yellow flower garland, leads, while a man in an orange robe with a white beard walks at the right edge. A bald monk in brown-orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks among them. Bright umbrellas in yellow, orange and pink are held above, and gilded deity murti and decorated shrine structures with red banners line the background. Men in white shirts and dhotis watch from the sides. Several people are visible, including the procession members and onlookers.2016-04-23April 23 20162016-04-23A procession on a red-carpeted stage under a pavilion with red fabric walls and an ornate canopy overhead. In the centre a bearded man in a maroon-brown dhoti and a dark maroon turban walks forward, wearing a thick gold necklace, a large pendant, a white and pink garland and gold armbands; the figure is a probable Swamiji on the basis of the distinctive turban, gold ornaments and garland. To his left a young man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks ahead. Behind them, figures in white dhotis with gold borders carry a tray of yellow and red flowers and a staff, and a woman in a white sari with gold border stands with palms joined. Devotees in white and in casual clothes watch from the sides.2016-12-03January 12 20152015-01-12April 23 20162016-04-23November 01 20142014-11-01A photograph of a procession walking down a red carpet runner inside a covered hall with orange walls and colourful pillars.
