A central figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long hair and a large gold ceremonial necklace with rudraksha beads, raises both arms and smiles. Around him, men in white dhoti and kurta with red-bordered cloth, some with saffron shawls and rudraksha malas, hold up tall ornate parasols with red canopies, colourful tasseled fringes and a gold trident-topped staff. Canopies bear a printed Dhyanapeetam emblem. Several participants wear white identity badges. The person in saffron has distinctive long hair, orange turban, saffron robes and rudraksha-style gold adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji presence in procession. +1 copiesJanuary 12 20092009-01-12August 16 20172017-08-16 +2 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 12 20092009-01-12A festive outdoor procession moves along a paved path under warm morning light.
