Musicians lead, one playing a long brass horn and others carrying drums slung over their shoulders, all in white dhoti and shirt. Behind them, a robed figure in saffron/orange garments with a garland walks beneath a large saffron-and-yellow umbrella held aloft, followed by many people in white and orange-red shawls. A yellow flag on a pole is at left, and a woman in yellow and white stands at right. Corrugated-roof buildings, water tanks and palm trees sit behind.2010-07-26A procession on a dirt road in front of a green-roofed shrine and a green metal gate. In the foreground, a man in an orange-pink shirt and cream dhoti plays a hand drum, and beside him a man in a white shirt and red lungi plays a drum with a yellow-fringed head. Behind them, three men walk in white and red-orange ritual clothing; one carries a small golden palanquin-style deity murti, another holds a small gold-coloured shrine, and another carries a long wooden staff. Men with white sacred ash marks on their foreheads lead the procession, and a palm tree and a red building are visible in the background.2013-04-03May 05 20152015-05-05A photograph of a procession on a dirt road lined with coconut palms and a low fence. Musicians lead the way: a man in a black shirt and maroon lungi plays a small hand cymbal, several men beat large drums, and a man in a maroon shirt and cream dhoti plays a long wind instrument. Behind them women in white saris with yellow garlands walk barefoot, carrying brass pots, and men in white dhotis follow. A red-and-white striped gateway and a truck appear at left. About twenty people are visible, and none is identifiable as a person.2009-12-28A photograph of a procession on a dirt path between a stone wall and a concrete-block building with banana plants behind. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts lead the way; the front three play long brass instruments, including a nadaswaram-style horn and a tutari-type trumpet, with their hands on the instruments. Behind them, men carry ornate ceremonial umbrella-like canopies (kodai) in red, orange and yellow with embroidered and tasselled fringes, and an older man in white follows. Two men on the right wear white shirts and lanyard ID badges. The scene suggests a festival procession with musicians and bearers of ceremonial canopies.2009-12-23A procession on a dirt path through palm and tree foliage, led by drummers and a horn player in white dhotis and shirts. Behind them a red and multicoloured canopy or umbrella-style parasol is carried over a group of monks and devotees in saffron and orange robes. A white building with a green corrugated roof stands at right. Several drummers play large barrel drums with coloured straps, and a man in a red shirt plays a brass horn. A taller figure in an orange robe walks at the centre of the group, but no appearance-based cues are strong enough to identify a person candidate.2006-07-12A photograph of a dirt path beside a red brick wall with green gate and tall trees behind.
