Many people in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis gather in a crowd. Two men at centre carry a decorated palanquin-like structure, and a drummer in orange plays a large drum at right. A tall wooden ritual flagpole with a trident-like finial rises at left. Ornate red and gold umbrellas and canopies are visible, and a child in orange stands near the foreground. Pongal festivities are noted on the page, but the scene itself shows a procession with drums and palanquin.2016-01-15Photo 11697947 +1 copiesPhoto 11709664January 14 20172017-01-14Outdoor ceremony under a corrugated metal canopy with palm fronds and colourful bunting.

Men in white kurta and red printed kurta stand at left, and a woman in orange at far left also joins her hands.

A large decorated umbrella with red and colourful tassels stands at the top right, with a green tractor behind. The scene looks like a temple-style procession and welcome.2017-10-01May 13 20172017-05-13 +1 copiesOutdoor festival procession at a temple-like compound with a tall orange-and-red flagstaff topped by a finial, beneath a corrugated metal shelter with palm fronds at right.
