A dense crowd fills a street during a procession, with many people pressing forward and waving. In the foreground, several men wear white dhotis with gold borders and orange-red shawls, some bare-chested with rudraksha and bead necklaces, and they gesture with raised hands as they move. A man in an orange top and a shaved-head figure in white stand among them. Uniformed police officers in khaki stand along the route, one holding a radio. A woman in a green sari carries a child, and a red flag rises above the crowd at right.

Two decorated palanquins, one orange-roofed with white and yellow flower garlands and fringed with palm fronds, are carried on poles by men in white shirts and saffron-orange lungis. A central bearer in an orange dhoti wears a yellow-and-green marigold garland across his bare chest. Devotees in white and pale shirts walk alongside, and women carry brass trays heaped with bananas, coconuts, leafy greens and flower-decorated offerings. A crowd fills the road, with a bus and palm trees in the background. The scene resembles a ratha/palanquin procession with fruit offerings.2006-11-13May 21 20162016-05-21July 01 20142014-07-01April 22 20162016-04-22May 21 20162016-05-21June 29 20142014-06-29 +2 copiesDecember 09 20162016-12-09September 13 20152015-09-13May 21 20162016-05-21
