January 04 20152015-01-04A procession on a red carpet in an open courtyard with a palm-lined backdrop and a large canopy shelter. A man in the centre wears a red-brown dhoti and shawl, a red and white flower garland, a gold pendant and layered rudraksha malas, and has a red-and-white tilak on his forehead; he walks forward with his hands at his sides. Behind him a bearer holds a large multicoloured fringed parasol with a pink lotus motif, and an attendant carries a smaller decorated umbrella. Surrounding them are men and women in saffron-orange and red garments, many with rudraksha malas, some with hands pressed in prayer, and drummers playing orange-bodied drums and a long horn at the left edge. Several people are sitting or standing at the edges. This is a temple-style procession with parasols and drums.2015-04-21August 17 20142014-08-17June 06 20142014-06-06June 12 20142014-06-12August 31 20142014-08-31August 31 20142014-08-31A procession under an open-sided pavilion roof moves across a paved courtyard. A long-haired man in the centre wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold necklace, and a fresh garland of white and red flowers, smiling as he walks. Around him, saffron-clad men and women carry ceremonial items; a bare-chested man at left holds a tall gold-tipped staff beneath a teal and orange embroidered parasol with tassels. Behind, a decorated elephant-like figure with a gold palanquin-style canopy and a large bell-shaped umbrella appears, along with white-clad devotees and a person holding a camera. The scene looks like a temple procession with ratha or palanquin-style decor and fringed umbrellas.2015-01-04 +1 copiesA procession on a red carpet walks toward a temple shrine under a yellow canopy.

Women in orange and red saris line the path with hands folded in greeting, while people in white and red clothing stand behind.
