Night-time outdoor procession at an ashram. A red tractor pulls a decorated wooden cart shrine with an ornate multicoloured embroidered canopy, fringed hangings and a glowing deity murti lit by lamps inside. Around it, devotees walk in procession: a woman in a maroon sari at left, several people with white painted faces, a man in a white shirt and a man in an orange-brown robe at centre, and women in saris including yellow and pink. A man in white clothing stands at right near the shrine, and a wind chime hangs from a tree. A sign at right in Kannada reads DO NOT ENTER THE TEMPLE. Bare trees and darkness surround the scene.

A nighttime religious procession moves along a dirt road past orange-washed buildings. At the centre, an ornately decorated canopied float with red, yellow and gold drapery and a lit deity murti sits atop a vehicle with headlights. Devotees in white dhotis and maroon-red garments with white-painted faces walk alongside, some carrying a tall silver staff and ceremonial items. A small shelter sign reads in Kannada and English 'Do Not Enter'. Hanging pink and white lanterns decorate a tree on the right. Several figures are visible in the crowd, though a clear count of participants is limited by darkness.2013-03-02March 02 20132013-03-02March 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02Night procession on a dirt road.
