A bearded man in the centre wears an orange-red turban, a multi-strand white and orange flower garland, and an orange-red robe, and stands smiling with hands extended. A long-haired devotee in a rust-red robe bows deeply before him, touching his feet. Around them, saffron-clad sadhus and women in red, yellow and green saris stand with palms pressed together, and one woman on the right holds a brass plate. A white ceremonial umbrella hangs above, with banana leaves and garlands strung overhead, and incense smoke rises at the right. a person: the centre figure's orange turban, flower garlands and saffron-toned robe are the cues.2016-12-23Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with palm and tree foliage. A central man in a rust-orange dhoti and wrap, with long dark matted hair, a white tilak on his forehead and multiple rudraksha malas, walks forward holding a brass or gold ceremonial staff with green and red decoration. Behind him, rows of women and girls in orange and saffron robes stand with palms pressed together in namaste, several holding red flags on poles, and orange and multicoloured umbrellas are raised overhead. Women on the right wear white and cream saris, one in a dark green sari, with rudraksha or bead necklaces and orange shawls. The scene reads as a devotional procession of ashram devotees.2018-03-18 +1 copiesJune 07 20162016-06-07February 09 20172017-02-09July 19 20162016-07-19June 07 20162016-06-07October 11 20162016-10-11December 14 20162016-12-14Outdoor temple-style ceremony under a corrugated roof with palm trees behind.
