Outdoor procession at an ashram courtyard lined with palm trees, with a small thatched hut and signboard behind. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk in a procession; the front figure, wearing an orange robe and garlands, carries a small decorated deity murti or kalasha-like offering in both hands. Two more orange-clad figures follow, and a row of older bearded men in orange and white robes with garlands walks behind. Two ceremonial umbrellas with red, yellow and multicoloured tops are held over the group. Men and women in white dhotis, white sarees and white shirts line the path, some with folded hands, and a child in white stands among them. A rangoli design with kolam patterns decorates the stone-paved ground, and a rangoli map-like artwork sits on a raised platform on the right. Stone sculptures stand in the background.2009-12-30March 03 20112011-03-03December 20 20092009-12-20Outdoor ashram scene at a temple courtyard with palm trees and orange-roofed buildings.
