October 30 20112011-10-30Night procession on a paved path with a tractor-drawn gold-trimmed wagon carrying a large decorated deity murti of a multi-armed goddess with a red and white backdrop, garlanded with white and orange flowers. A seated bearded man in red garments and a flower garland rides on the wagon. Nearby, a man in an orange robe walks beside it, along with a man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl, a man with white-marked forehead and rudraksha mala, and a woman in red sari. Another illuminated float follows behind, and a tree with hanging seed pods stands at right.2016-10-11October 30 20112011-10-30November 16 20152015-11-16December 20 20102010-12-20Night procession at an outdoor ashram setting on a dirt ground. A golden palanquin-style cart carrying a deity murti decorated with marigold garlands and colourful striped fabric canopy is pulled by men in white dhotis. A barefoot man in white with a rudraksha mala and orange shawl walks at the front, holding the cart rope. Other men in white and orange-trimmed attire follow, and a woman in a white sari with a yellow-green shawl stands at right among devotees. Pulling a cart with a golden deity murti under a canopy at night is a procession. The front man's appearance is not distinctive enough to establish a person's presence.2010-11-20October 10 20162016-10-10Night photo of a festival procession on a dirt road.
