Outdoor photo on a dirt path beside a corrugated metal fence and banana plants. Several men and women in rust-orange dhotis and shawls, many with bare upper bodies and ropes of rudraksha beads, stand in two lines facing inward. The two front men on the left and right hold a large multicoloured umbrella and yellow-and-red ceremonial banners on poles. A woman in an orange sari holds a brass plate with offerings in the centre. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts stand along the path, and an older man in white at right, along with a woman in white, observes. A white vehicle is parked further back. This appears to be a ritual procession, and the setting is consistent with a temple-linked ashram.2013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06A procession on a dirt path beside a corrugated metal fence and banana trees.
