Outdoors at an ashram courtyard, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala walks barefoot down a patterned-stone step, leading a line of white-clad men with orange shawls. Behind them a crowd of devotees in white dhotis stands with palms joined beside a red-and-white painted ledge and a black speaker. Kolam-style white designs decorate the steps, and ash-colored fire pits with burnt wood sit in the background among palm trees and orange-walled buildings. The scene reads as a ritual procession toward a puja area. The man in front wears a saffron-orange garment, a mala and a red tilak, and his appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm a person's presence, so the in-person value is unsure.2010-08-28September 12 20102010-09-12A photograph of a procession ascending a stepped platform decorated with white kolam rangoli patterns, under palm trees, with thatched-roof and tin-roof white buildings with red doors behind.
