Outdoor procession scene with a woman in the foreground wearing a rust-red sari with a gold border, a black beaded mala and a pendant necklace, a white vibhuti line across her forehead, and holding a thick garland of red flowers with yellow marigold accents. Behind her, people in saffron and orange robes carry a large orange ceremonial banner with a painted circular emblem on a pole, and other devotees in red and white stand nearby. The scene appears to be a temple flag-hoisting procession.2016-01-11December 27 20132013-12-27October 13 20132013-10-13March 10 20132013-03-10June 18 20132013-06-18March 11 20172017-03-11April 13 20132013-04-13Photograph of a seated ritual gathering in dark-red and maroon robes with gold borders.

The foreground woman on the right, with a white forehead mark, holds cupped hands full of pale rice-like offerings, and a woman on the left reaches out with her own cupped hands. Other women in orange stand behind them, and a colourful umbrella-like canopy and a figure in white clothing appear at the left edge. The scene appears to be a ritual offering of food.2016-08-02Several women in matching rust-red saris with gold borders gather closely, one offering a small portion of food from her hand to a woman in the centre who has a red bindi, white forehead markings, a long rudraksha mala and a nose stud. Other women hold food portions and wear rudraksha malas and bangles. In the background a man in white dhoti and white head cloth with an orange shawl stands near framed photographs of red-toned ritual scenes on the wall.
