Night street procession in a crowded Indian town. A bearded man with long dark hair and white forehead markings wears a rust-brown sannyasi wrap and a rudraksha mala, smiling with raised hands as he walks among devotees. Around him, men in bright yellow shirts and green lungis, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with garlands, and a man in orange cloth with white body markings press close. A devotee in yellow bows low in the foreground. Shopfronts and a green neon sign glow behind the crowd.2017-02-07 +3 copiesDecember 26 20132013-12-26Outdoor padapuja ceremony in which a person seated on a red cushioned throne, wearing rust-red draped robes, a gold-and-beaded garland and white tilak, extends a hand in blessing over a devotee kneeling before the seat.
