August 31 20112011-08-31August 31 20112011-08-31A festival procession on a dirt road beside an ornate decorated cart carrying a deity murti garlanded with white and yellow flowers and a red-and-green garland, with a framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure at the top of the display. A long-haired person in orange robes with a white flower garland walks forward, while a man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a tall orange-and-gold umbrella above the cart. Another man in orange robes carries a gold fan-shaped ceremonial standard, and people in white attire and orange sashes follow behind. Orange flags and a colourful umbrella decorate the scene.2007-12-29December 23 20082008-12-23Outdoor procession scene on a grassy ground with a decorated wooden cart on the right. A tall deity murti under a fringed canopy is garlanded with red and yellow flowers and rests on a gold-toned mount, with a blue cloth draped below. A woman in a yellow sari holds a trident-tipped staff beside the cart. On the left, a figure in saffron/orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands with palms joined, facing the cart, while several women in white and pink saris stand with hands folded in prayer. A man in an orange shirt stands near the cart and a light-blue-clad woman and a child are among the devotees. A metal frame stands behind them and buildings and palm trees are in the distance. Without a confident identification of the saffron-robed figure, the scene reads as a devotional procession with ratha and deity murti.2011-10-31November 18 20102010-11-18 +1 copiesOctober 31 20112011-10-31December 23 20082008-12-23Outdoor evening procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees and a corrugated roof.
