A central man with long dark hair wears a gold crown-like headband, an orange saffron robe, a long white and magenta flower garland and a gold necklace, smiling as he walks forward. Around him men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow, several wearing rudraksha malas, and a man in a red shirt with an orange-and-red dhoti walks at left. A small ceremonial staff or standard with a brass finial rises behind the group, and a red curtain hangs at right beside a mat with purple borders. Roughly fifteen people are visible.2007-12-25July 28 20082008-07-28 +1 copiesJuly 28 20082008-07-28 +1 copiesJuly 28 20082008-07-28December 23 20092009-12-23A photograph of saffron-robed monastics walking out of a white building through a doorway decorated with marigold garlands and banana leaves.

Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts walk in procession; one at right carries a silver tray, and another at left in white gestures toward flower garlands and marigold strings laid on the floor. Beyond the doorway, a shed is decorated with marigold festoons and blue drapery hangs by a window. A red carpet runs across the floor.
