Night photograph of an outdoor procession at a temple-style courtyard lit by bright floodlights, with colourful string lights overhead. A man in a red and gold turban and a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a long beaded garland, walks forward at the centre along a striped woven runner. Around him, devotees in saffron, maroon and purple garments stand with hands joined in anjali, and men in white dhotis carry a large drum and a camera on a pole. Ceremonial parasols with striped fabric and a gilded palanquin-style structure stand behind, with palm trees and foliage in the background. Approximately fifteen people are visible.2016-12-13Photo 11743164 +2 copiesDecember 13 20162016-12-13December 13 20162016-12-13January 04 20152015-01-04Night procession on a paved path at a temple-style setting.
