Outdoor procession on red-and-white stepped stairs under an overcast sky. Several men in white dhoti and shirt with yellow shoulder cloths and rudraksha malas carry ornate umbrellas: a red umbrella, a multicolour fringed umbrella, and two saffron-fringed umbrellas embroidered with a blue bird emblem. One man in the centre wears an orange cloth and holds a brass tray with flowers, while another holds a small drum. Garlands of flowers hang at the left edge. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this frame.2009-07-08A procession of devotees in white dhotis and shirts walks across a dirt ground under large ornate umbrellas with red, orange and blue canopies, fringed with tassels and bearing the Dhyanapeetham emblem. In the centre, a man in white with an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulder carries a silver vessel with a pineapple-like kalasha topping and a white-and-gold cloth wrap. Behind him, another person in an orange shawl walks beside a man playing a long brass horn. Other attendants in white carry umbrella poles, and white structures and a dark stone sculpture lie in the background.2007-12-07December 25 20092009-12-25Outdoor procession on a sandy path under colourful canopy umbrellas with orange, blue and green panels, gold finials and tasselled fringes.

Two central men hold tall gold-topped staffs and a silver trident-topped standard. Behind them a large framed portrait on a stand and a crowd of white-clad participants and a few onlookers. Setting appears to be a festival ground with white walls and tents.2007-02-15A procession on a dirt path outside a tent with red, white, yellow and teal geometric drapes. Several young men in white dhotis and white shirts with orange saffron shawls walk barefoot, several holding large decorated parasols with red, teal and white fringed canopies. The man in the centre carries a white bowl or basket with green leaves held before him. Behind them a woman in white sari with orange border walks, and a yellow ornate ceremonial standard or palanquin ornament rises in the background among palm trees. The scene reads as a ceremonial procession with attendants shielding the bearer. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person in this image.2007-08-09December 30 20062006-12-30December 25 20082008-12-25December 25 20082008-12-25March 02 20162016-03-02 +2 copiesJanuary 16 20162016-01-16A photograph, rotated sideways, of a procession outdoors on dusty ground under a bright blue sky. Several men in white dhotis and white kurtas with orange shawls walk or stand in a line, one with dark curly hair in the foreground, another behind holding a long pole. Behind them, red and orange ceremonial parasols with fringed edges and colourful tassels are raised. Some men hold brass or wooden poles, and a few hands are visible at the lower edge. No person in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance, so the identity is left unsure.2007-12-25July 16 20112011-07-16
