Outdoor courtyard scene at a house entrance with a red-painted floor decorated with a white kolam design at the threshold. A man in the centre wears a rust-orange dhoti and a wide floral garland of pink and white flowers around his neck, walking with his hands joined near the gate. Two men in rust and orange robes stand behind him, one with a shaved head. An older man in a white shirt and light trousers, with a rudraksha-style mala, stands at left by a blue gate. Another man in a white dhoti and shirt walks in the middle, and at right an older man in white with an orange cloth over his shoulder plays a drum.

Beside them, an older man in white shirt and white trousers with a rudraksha-style bead mala and a cigarette-like object in hand walks at left, and another elderly man in white shirt and white dhoti walks at right near a row of chairs. Behind them, several men in saffron and white clothing and other onlookers stand in a whitewashed yard with a potted plant overhead. The garland-wearing person has short hair and no visible crown or long flowing hair, so their identity is not established by appearance.2014-06-22 +1 copiesNovember 06 20112011-11-06July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesAugust 08 20092009-08-08Outdoor procession at an ashram courtyard at sunset.
