A photograph of a ceremonial procession walking along a covered concrete corridor inside a building. Several young men lead the group in white dhotis and kurtas; the foremost carries a tray of silver-toned dishes, and a man in the centre holds a long pole supporting a multicoloured umbrella with orange, red, yellow and blue fringed panels. Men wear yellow shawls and orange wraps, and women in white with orange shawls follow behind. Behind them are framed photographs and printed banners with pictures of a saffron-clad figure, and a few chairs and a doorway appear on the right. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible, so the appearance is uncertain.2008-05-13May 13 20082008-05-13June 19 20082008-06-19Inside a white marble temple hall with a polished reflective floor, a young man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala carries a silver tray with offerings or lamps, while a man in a yellow-and-orange striped shirt and a second man in white with a yellow shawl walk alongside.
