Outdoor photograph of a procession of saffron-robed devotees walking past trees. In the centre, a bearded man with long dark hair, a red bindi and white forehead markings, wearing an orange-red cloth over his shoulders and many rudraksha malas, presses his palms together in anjali. Beside him on the right, a devotee in orange holds a tall golden staff topped with a decorative finial and a small red gem, and wears a silver pendant and rudraksha mala. Other devotees on the left and right wear orange garments, layered rudraksha malas, sandalwood-coloured bracelets, and dreadlock-style hair wrapped in dark turbans. Some carry white ash markings. Background shows green foliage and a distant uniformed official. Looks like a temple visit procession.2018-03-17 +1 copiesA bearded man with long swept-back dark hair stands in anjali mudra, palms pressed together, wearing a rust-red dhoti and a thick garland of red and white flowers, with heavy gold necklaces, bangles and an armlet. Behind him, a man in orange clothing holds a tall gold staff, and a photographer in white with a camera stands among other devotees in orange and white. The setting is an outdoor ritual gathering with greenery behind.

He has a white forehead band with a red tilak, long dark locks, and a beard. Around him, several young men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders wear rudraksha malas, white forehead bands, and upswept dreadlocked hair, walking in a group. The shed roof, metal railings and a tiled floor frame the scene, which appears to be a temple-precinct walk. A person in a white shirt is partly visible at the left edge.2018-03-17March 11 20182018-03-11A barefoot man with long dark dreadlocks, a red tilak on his forehead and a beard walks down a sandy path past a tree-lined street. He wears a rust-red sleeveless top and draped rust-red dhoti with gold border, a rudraksha mala across his chest and a gold chain necklace. Around him, saffron-clad attendants with white ash markings and beaded malas carry a long yellow pole and a multicoloured fringed umbrella, one holding a pole while walking, another with a headband. Red-brick buildings and parked cars stand behind. Several attendants are visible, and the crowd is partly cut off at the frame edges.
