Photo 11704837 +1 copiesA procession under a covered tent walks along a red carpet. In the centre-left, a man in an orange robe and orange-red turban, with a garland of white and pink flowers around his neck, smiles and raises a hand in greeting; an attendant in orange walks beside him. Several figures in orange and saffron robes carry or walk alongside, including a woman in orange holding a brass tray. Behind them, a drummer in orange beats a large drum, and bare-chested young men in white dhotis wearing rudraksha malas follow. Colourful umbrellas in red, blue and patterned gold shade the group, and banners and orange-and-white flags hang from the tent frame, with green trees behind. The orange-robed man wearing a turban and garland is an appearance-based candidate, but the cues are not sufficiently distinctive for confirmation.2017-01-01A procession on a red carpet under a open-sided pavilion, with a red-and-gold ceremonial umbrella and decorated banners overhead. In front, several young men in orange saffron dhotis and shawls carry a silver tray and a brass kalasha pot with a green plant sprig. Behind them, a man with a shaved-head-style hairdo and red-and-saffron clothing wearing a long multicolour flower garland and gold necklaces walks in the centre, with a small spiritual pendant and sandalwood or vibhuti on his forehead. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and walk along the sides, and a kalasha procession with devotees follows the carpet.2016-01-03December 27 20162016-12-27December 24 20152015-12-24January 03 20162016-01-03December 27 20162016-12-27 +1 copiesDecember 29 20162016-12-29 +1 copiesPhoto 11710364November 18 20162016-11-18 +1 copiesJanuary 21 20172017-01-21A festive procession walks along a red carpet under an open pavilion with a striped umbrella and decorated canopies. At the centre, a smiling figure with long dark hair and a red-brown dhoti and shawl wears a thick multicoloured flower garland and a gold pendant, and is shielded by a red, yellow and blue ceremonial umbrella held by a man in white. Behind and beside him, several people in saffron-orange robes with gold borders carry a silver vessel with green leaves and a kalasha-style pot. A child in orange holds a small offering. Several men in white dhotis and shawls follow, along with a row of devotees in orange and red. Palm trees and a shaded roof frame the scene.2016-01-03
