Outdoor procession on a paved path lined with palm trees. A man with long swept-back dark hair in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala, walks forward with his hands loosely at his sides while looking to the side. Behind him saffron-clad sannyasis and women in orange saris with yellow borders follow, several holding yellow-and-red ornate parasol-like banners on poles. On the left stands an orange stone shrine plinth with marigold garlands and a row of clay pots with plants. Women in the rear hold their hands in prayer, and onlookers stand at the back.2013-09-11Outdoors on a paved courtyard among palm and frangipani trees, a procession of saffron-clad devotees moves past a terracotta-coloured structure with a small table of offerings.

Two attendants carry ornate orange-and-gold fan-shaped standards with embroidered emblems. Behind them, men and women in orange robes stand with palms pressed together in anjali.

At centre, a man with long dark hair and a red-and-gold ornate gold necklace, wearing a red-orange dhoti with gold borders and a red-and-blue flower garland, walks barefoot beside a tall ceremonial umbrella with blue fringe and red canopy.
