Night procession photographed in a crowd. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe wears a long pink-and-white flower garland, a rudraksha mala, and a tilak on the forehead, smiling as he walks among devotees. Behind him, a woman in an orange sari carries a long wooden pole, and a woman in a white head covering stands near the back. In the foreground, young men in white shirts and white dhotis are close to the camera, one with a tilak. On the left, a large orange-and-red ceremonial umbrella with gold tassels and embroidered flower motifs is held aloft, and on the right a gold-and-red embroidered banner hangs from a silver pole. Several other people stand in the background among the crowd. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate described on the page, but this is an uncertain appearance-based label (probable).
