A procession on a dirt road lined with green shrubs and trees. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk in a line; a man in the center wears an orange turban and orange robes and carries nothing visible, while a sannyasi behind him holds a decorated box. Two men in white dhotis with yellow shawls hold up colourful fringed parasols on long poles, and a cameraman with a camera on the left films the group. The white-clad attendants and saffron-clad monastics suggest a ceremonial walk, possibly a person appearance in the procession.2009-12-11December 17 20142014-12-17November 16 20152015-11-16December 03 20162016-12-03Outdoor procession on a paved courtyard under a tree in bright sunlight.
