Several men with orange sashes and white kurtas surround them, some smiling and reaching toward the centre. Behind them, a decorated wooden palanquin draped in colourful cloth and garlands is carried above the water, with a person in white lifting it. The scene looks like a river or temple tank procession during a festival, with splashing water and devotees pressing close.2009-01-02A barefoot man in a soaked white shirt and white trousers dances on wet sandy ground, holding a clay pot of red-brown offerings against his side while water spills around him. He wears a dark beaded mala with a pendant and a gold necklace, and a gold bangle on one wrist, with hair wet and tousled. Behind him a crowd of about 20 people, many in light-blue and white t-shirts and white dhotis, raise their arms and clap in celebration, some children reaching toward him. Appearance-based label: no robust a person cues beyond a mala and gold chain, so identity is unclear.2009-12-25A large crowd of devotees stands waist-deep in water, many in white clothes, raising their arms and smiling during a holy dip. In the foreground a golden decorated palanquin-like structure is garlanded with marigolds, orange and yellow flowers, and green fern fronds. A tall golden trident rises from the centre of the crowd, and a man in white near it raises both hands. Partially visible devotees in the upper area are also wading in the water.2010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 30 20102010-01-30Photograph of a large group of devotees standing waist-deep in a water tank, many with palms pressed together in namaste or holding hands in a chain. Most wear white clothing such as white salwar kameez, white shirts and white dhotis, with some wearing rudraksha-style beaded necklaces; a woman in a red top stands further back, and a man in a purple head covering appears at the top left. The water is murky and the scene suggests a ritual bathing or sacred immersion. No single figure is identifiable as a person in this crowd, so no candidate is marked.2010-07-26January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJune 09 20092009-06-09
