A photograph of women in a village street carrying offerings in a procession. In the foreground a woman in an orange and red sari carries a tray of white jasmine garlands and pink and red flowers, and a woman in a green-and-cream patterned sari bends forward holding flower offerings. Behind them a woman in a blue-and-white striped sari and a woman in white with a green border carry flower trays, and a woman in a yellow sari balances a metal pot of fruit on her head. Several women wear round orange-and-yellow rosette badges. Two men in white dhotis and shirts with similar rosette badges stand at the left edge. Rubble and bricks lie on the ground, and a pink wall with a doorway and a lit shrine interior is behind them.

Several women carry brass plates and offerings, and one holds a decorated floral arrangement on her head. Banana trees with hanging fruit and a thatched canopy with palm leaves frame the scene, and white and yellow flower garlands hang in the foreground beside peacock feathers. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand among the crowd, and a silver van is parked to the right. The mood is a festive village gathering.2006-11-13October 28 20062006-10-28
