August 28 20112011-08-28A photograph of a procession rehearsal or ritual on an open grass field with a red boundary wall and trees behind. A tall figure in black clothing with an orange cloth draped over its back stands on a wooden pole-and-bamboo frame, its head wrapped in white cloth. Several men in white dhotis stand around it: one on the left holds a long bamboo pole raised high, one in the centre-right reaches up to steady the figure's head, and a bare-chested man on the right raises his arm to hold it. A man crouches in white in the foreground, and another man in white stands behind.
